        abstract = {Privacy on the web is a major issue in the digital landscape. With growing concerns about data privacy, users are growing more wary of how corporations use, store or sell their data to third party organizations. This has led to an increase in an effort to offload data monopoly and control from IT giants and approach digital navigation from a user-friendly point of view. This paper discusses a unique approach to solving the issue of data privacy and control using blockchain based decentralized self-sovereign user identity solutions and highlights the use of zero knowledge protocols to empower users to choose what credentials to reveal and how much to reveal, thus letting the user be in control of their digital identity. The paper also details out the general concept, the working of the minimum viable product developed on Ethereum Blockchain using Solidity, system design of the same and finally the further plans related to the work.},
