The Self-Sovereign Identity and the technology can benefit from the control and complete ownership of one’s own data. Similarly, the non-custodial logins based on the blockchain can control users’ data. For instance, MetaMask offers a blockchain-based application for secure login, token wallet, and digital payments by keeping the user's data secured. Thus, there is more control on personal data to boost blockchain-based identity as a service.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Regulatory Compliances for User Data Protection to Drive Market Growth

The countries worldwide are implementing strict regulations on using customer data. Some of the regulations include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, California Consumer Privacy Act, Act on Protection of Personal Information, and many more. These regulations are more focused on adopting good and ethical practices on utilizing digitally generated data. Thus, this is encouraging customer trust and enhancing the user experience. The growing illicit practices of using clients’ sensitive data for organizational growth have fueled the need to adopt these regulations.
