# Hashgraph's Agata Slater Discusses User Control in Digital Identity By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/54374 Published: 2026-11-11T19:41:07.000Z Updated: 2026-11-11T19:41:07.000Z Section: Technology > The self-sovereign identity model lets people manage credentials and choose what information to share across organizations. Agata Slater of Hashgraph described decentralized identifiers as a user-controlled form of identification, comparing their function to a passport and framing them as part of a self-sovereign identity model. In that model, people manage their digital credentials and set who can access them. One identity can help verify a person's credentials across multiple organizations while the person decides which details to share, as outlined in TokenPost's [overview of decentralized identity](). ## Links in this article - [overview of decentralized identity](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/41183)
