This article describes how in today's digital world, customers have made it a common practice to maintain user accounts with different service providers to access a range of services. In such environment, all attributes of the identity must be verified to operate, otherwise the resources would be vulnerable to financial and data loss. This article contends that makes it important to form an Identity Management System, which could provide central administration, user self- service, role based access control and integrated user management. Identity Management becomes very much vital for the environment working with multiple technologies, as it governs an entity (i.e. a human or a software agent) to authenticate and authorize for accessing the network via multiple technologies. Successful Identity Management increases the efficiency, security, access control and decreases the complexity, cost and many repetitive works. Essential features of present day identity management systems have been identified in the present work. A comparative analysis of these identity management systems has been carried out to establish the present-day industry practices. Along with that, specific challenges to the present-day identity management systems have been identified. The article helps in the identification of suitable Identity Management System for specific applications.

COVID-19 has made eHealth an imperative. The pandemic has been a true catalyst for remote eHealth solutions such as teleHealth. Telehealth facilitates care, diagnoses, and treatment remotely, making them more efficient, accessible, and economical. However, they have a centralized identity management system that restricts the interoperability of patient and healthcare provider identification. Thus, creating silos of users that are unable to authenticate themselves beyond their eHealth application’s domain. Furthermore, the consumers of remote eHealth applications are forced to trust their service providers completely. They cannot check whether their eHealth service providers adhere to the regulations to ensure the security and privacy of their identity information. Therefore, we present a blockchain-based decentralized identity management system that allows patients and healthcare providers to identify and authenticate themselves transparently and securely across different eHealth domains. Patients and healthcare providers are uniquely identified by their health identifiers (healthIDs). The identity attributes are attested by a healthcare regulator, indexed on the blockchain, and stored by the identity owner. We implemented smart contracts on an Ethereum consortium blockchain to facilities identification and authentication procedures. We further analyze the performance using different metrics, including transaction gas cost, transaction per second, number of blocks lost, and block propagation time. Parameters including block-time, gas-limit, and sealers are adjusted to achieve the optimal performance of our consortium blockchain.

This paper describes the identity management system (IdMS) by defining system and user requirements. Additionally, it introduces the IdMS concept that approaches the things identity management. Moreover, the paper deeply describes the IdMS features using unified modelling language (UML) diagrams such as class, system, and sequence diagrams to show the main system functionalities. Ultimately, the suggested system is evaluated by comparing it with the existing systems and discussing the fulfilment of user and system requirements.

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly used model for digital identities. It is compared to other models which have preceded it, thus giving a background on its development. The models are measured against a set of criteria which it is desirable for an identity management system to have. The underlying hope is that understanding this model will help improve it or even lead to a different model.
