From the Latin for "dignity, worth, and prestige."
It is the foundational Roman virtue, the belief that every individual possesses an inherent worth that must be honored and protected. It is the opposite of treating identity as a product to be bought and sold.
Dignitas is a landmark for the movement that champions this cause. It is for the privacy foundation, the ethical technology firm, or the self-sovereign identity protocol that exists to defend the honor of the individual.
