This paper presents the development of a system for electronic signatures and identity management using a self-sovereign approach and distributed ledger technology, enabling deployment and operation within supply chains for greater sovereignty of the organizations and the individual users. For this purpose, the current regulations of Europe and the United States are compiled, existing technologies are examined, and then an own design is derived, showing the technical and regulatory hurdles and resulting design decisions such as off-chain databases.     «
