Installation

Currently this is individual project and you can experience and develop it in a custom browser of our reference implementation based on Firefox ESR.

It add-ons four main components for Self-Sovereign Identity - window.ssi, browser.ssi, services.ssi(credential store service) and about:selfsovereignidentity(setting page).

Also, those components can easily add-on to other firefox forks as well, so you can choose another implementation. And your implementation, too!

Versioning

These builds are forked and therefore managed by versioning both the custom add-on browser and the base browser. The version is difined below:

v<custom-browser-version><custom-browser-branch>-<base-browser-version><base-browser-suffix>

For example v0.0.1mvp-128.5.0esr is destined for a 0.0.1 release from mvp branch, based on the Mozilla Firefox 128 ESR branch. If v0.0.1beta-14.0-1tor, it means a 0.0.1 release from beta branch, based on the Tor browser 14.0-1 release.

And, to distinguish with the branding, the install path and so on of the base browser, the namespace ssb is defined.
