Identity Management Using Blockchain Technology
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Blockchain Technology
Abstract
Most online transactions require that individuals disclose specific personal information before they can proceed to access services. Thus, every time an individual discloses this information, it gets stored on numerous internet databases. As such, digital clones of one and the same individual spring into existence across these different platforms. This also exposes a lot of security issues. Blockchain can be used to create a platform that protects individuals? identities from theft and massively reduces fraudulent activities. The technology can also help businesses build strong blockchains that handle the issues of authentication and reconciliation encountered in several industries. Additionally, it can allow individuals the freedom to create encrypted digital identities that will replace multiple usernames and passwords. The entire system is implemented using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Keywords
