Abstract

Decentralized Digital Identity is the recent research focus for all identity management policy making authorities. The demand for the development robust digital identity solution is constantly rising. Conjugation of AI and biometric authentication at one side makes the identity process more streamlined to the users but at other side opens up ample of opportunities for cybercrime and identity theft also. Hence, the centralized process for maintaining the identity has become vulnerable both for the identity holder and the identity maintaining organization as well. This paper proposed a secure blockchain based generic provable claim model to be adopted for the benefit of identification of general public. The proposed model depicts secure decentralized ledger for issuer and verifier in identity model to mitigate the risk of exploitation over digital identity by the hackers to protect from duplication with fake identification. MD5 and SHA-512 driven secure hashing function is applied in a blockchain for identity verification in two application domains in Biomedical and Transport blockchain as per recent state-of-art.
