A six-page paper (version 1.0, 17 October 2025) from the Utah Department of Government Operations that sets out State-Endorsed Digital Identity (SEDI), a model in which the individual controls a cryptographic identifier and the state endorses, rather than creates, that identity. It lists the model's basic requirements (legal framework, individual control, privacy, parental rights and delegation, security, backward compatibility) and invites other states to join a SEDI Consortium. It is for policy makers and readers following state adoption of decentralized identity.
