In this paper, we developed a mobile student ID providing a self sovereignty identity (SSI) which replaces the conventional plastic-type student ID that includes private information of a student such as a name, a student number, a facial photo, etc. The implemented mobile student ID solves the problem of exposing student's identity due to a loss or a theft of a plastic-type student ID, and it has a structure and process of FRANCHISE model which is developed by a concept of a decentralized Identity(DID) of a Blockchain, in which specialized for convenience as an electronic student ID through an application on a smart phone device. In addition, it protects student's privacy by controlling personal information on oneself. By using a smartphone, not only it easily identifies the student but also it expands to several services such as participation in school events, online authentication, and a student's exchange program among colleges.

The concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) has emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional centralized personal identity management systems in our society. Therefore, in this study, 36 seminal researches out of 112 collected studies were investigated with a systematic literature review method to deliver a core common definition as well as the research trends on SSI in the socioeconomic, legal and technological fields. SSI studies in the legal field have mainly considered the conflicts with relevant laws such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and privacy protection laws. The study of SSI in the technology field have looked at the trends of the technical components to implement SSI and discussed the necessities of establishing standards to increase interoperability for SSI diffusion worldwide. This study ultimately derived the core definition of SSI from a various academic fields as "a trust-based personal identity management system that enables autonomous self-identification by a identity owner without a centralized system or 3rd party intervention". The results of this study contribute to the understanding of the essential SSI concept which were varied on different research fields and industries. The results also provide a foundation for discovering various SSI-based business models, applications as well as future research opportunities. Furthermore, this study suggested that SSI must be developed with interdisciplinary manner among the socioeconomic, legal, and technological fields to be practically applicable system to enable autonomous self-identification by a identity owner in our society.

Recently, each country has been moving to introduce an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The LCA is a mean of measuring and evaluating greenhouse gas emissions generated over the entire life cycle of a vehicle. Reliable data for each electric vehicle component is needed to increase the reliability of the LCA results. To this end, studies on life cycle evaluation models using blockchain technology have been conducted. However, in the existing model, key product information is exposed to other participants. And each time parts data information is updated, it must be recorded in the blockchain ledger in the form of a transaction, which is inefficient. In this paper, we proposed a DID(Decentralized Identity)-based data collection model for LCA to collect vehicle component data and verify its validity effectively. The proposed model increases the reliability of the LCA by ensuring the validity and integrity of the collected data and verifying the source of the data. The proposed model guarantees the validity and integrity of collected data. As only user authentication information is shared on the blockchain ledger, the model prevents indiscriminate exposure of data and efficiently verifies and updates the source of data.
