What is a C-SSDT™?
C-SSDTs™ are portable digital twins that can authenticate identity and selectively disclose pertinent data for Web3 transactions at the edge.
C-SSDTs™ function as platform-agnostic digital identities, combining standards from W3C, MOBI, IEEE, ISO, SAE, and others with Zero-Knowledge cryptography to permit any entity to engage in secure, tamper-evident transactions — unlocking unprecedented data privacy, autonomy, and portability across the connected ecosystem.
Unlocking Cross-Industry Interoperability
Since it is not possible to enable cross-industry interoperability and business automation through Web2 means at scale, we must instead leverage Web3 technologies and principles to build a new solution rooted in trusted identity standards — one that facilitates seamless, privacy-preserving, globally compliant collaboration and data exchange while allowing stakeholders to retain their legacy systems. C-SSDTs™ satisfy these requirements through:
Enabling seamless verification and validation of identities and transactions
Empowering the creation of regulation-compliant data privacy solutions
Providing the ability to obtain and monetize data at the moment of transaction without the need to open up databases / store data
Serving as platform-agnostic, legacy system compatible “universal translators,” eliminating the need to build new infrastructure / APIs
How Do C-SSDTs™ Work?
Any entity can onboard and manage C-SSDTs™ for themselves and their assets — vehicles, IoT devices, etc. — via one-click onboarding on Citopia. The C-SSDT™ stores a combination of static and real-time data to log an entity’s journey throughout its lifetime.
C-SSDTs™ are anchored by W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to a decentralized identity management network such as the Integrated Trust Network (ITN). The identity verification services provided by this trust anchor, combined with Citopia’s credential validation services, permit the C-SSDT™ owner to seamlessly engage in secure, tamper-evident transactions with others in the network.
How Do C-SSDTs™ Preserve Data Privacy?
C-SSDTs™ leverage Zero-Knowledge Proofs and other advanced cryptographic methods to give users control over who sees their data and how that data is used. DIDs are the only things registered and stored on chains. All personal and competitive information is stored locally in the C-SSDT™ and remains under the owner’s control.
