ssi

That’s to empower individuals on the self-sovereign path.

browser.ssi is a powerful API (in Chrome, it would be named chrome.ssi), bridging tasks related to credentials, such as signing/decrypting, between the internal module and user land. It also provides the state of settings while prioritizing privacy and security, allowing users to choose whether to make them open.

Required Permissions
