B4TI Blockchain for Decentralized Trust and Digital Identity

The International Workshop on Blockchain for Decentralized Trust and Digital Identity (B4TI) addresses the fundamental challenge of establishing trust in digital environments. In an increasingly digital world, trust has become the cornerstone of all online interactions, yet the mechanisms to establish it reliably, efficiently, and equitably remain elusive. This workshop explores technological solutions to this core problem, focusing on approaches that enhance digital trust while respecting user autonomy. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) represents a paradigm shift in addressing these challenges, emphasizing user control over personal data and identity claims. While SSI is conceptually independent of any specific technology, decentralized technologies such as blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), and advanced cryptographic mechanisms offer promising tools to implement SSI principles in practice.
