        abstract = {In an increasingly digital world, the need for secure and user-controlled identity management systems has become paramount. Traditional identity systems often suffer from centralization, leading to issues of privacy, security breaches, and lack of user autonomy. In response, the concept of self-sovereign identity (SSI) has emerged, aiming to empower individuals with control over their own digital identities. However, existing SSI solutions face challenges in scalability, interoperability, and usability, hindering widespread adoption. In this paper, we propose wwwId, a practical internet-scale self-sovereign, self-federated identity system designed to address these challenges. wwwId leverages decentralized technologies such as blockchain and distributed ledger technology to ensure secure and tamper-resistant identity management. Through the use of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials, wwwId enables individuals to create, manage, and share their digital identities autonomously, without reliance on centralized authorities. Moreover, wwwId incorporates self-federated principles, allowing users to seamlessly link and manage multiple digital identities across various domains and platforms while maintaining privacy and control. Key features of wwwId include robust authentication mechanisms, flexible identity schemas, and efficient identity resolution protocols, making it suitable for a wide range of applications and use cases. Through wwwId, we aim to lay the foundation for a more inclusive, privacy-preserving, and user-centric internet identity ecosystem.},
