This paper is really about solving a fundamental problem in decentralized identity, which is to combine the characteristics of self-sovereignty, privacy and Sbil-resistance, which seems to exclude each other.

I previously proposed formalizing this problem as Decentralized Identity Trilemma (http://maciek.blog/dit).

The paper even references that post directly in footnote 8:

> Those three requirements, sybil resistance, self-sovereignty and privacy-reservation, compose the "Decentralized Identity Trilemma".[7][8]

I was mulling over this exact issue the other day but couldn't find the words to express it. Thank you for this.
