Current Systems

In the present interconnected world, digital IDs are used to demonstrate identity. These IDs prove to be only tangentially related to the service being accessed and requires us to apply a significant amount of privacy. The current systems possess number of problems such as proxies but blockchain proves to be the solution for this type of Identity related problem.Markers of identity are often required to be very personal pieces of data. Consider a list of personal information collected when someone opens a savings account, such as address and identification (driver’s license or passport). It’s easy to take these pieces of data for granted, as we’ve generally become accustomed to handing them over at the drop of a hat. But let’s take a moment to consider what giving up these pieces of identity really means and whether is it necessary?In handing over a passport to a banker, a person gives the bank full permission to record not only their date and place of birth, but also everywhere he or she has toured.In order to solve above privacy problem and to make Identity sharing process more user friendly I have implemented an Identity Management System with Blockchain technology with the help of hyperledger fabric framework.

Abstract Objective Healthcare systems suffer from a lack of interoperability that creates “data silos,” causing patient linkage and data sharing problems. Blockchain technology’s unique architecture provides individuals greater control over their information and may help address some of the problems related to health data. A multidisciplinary team designed and tested a blockchain application, MediLinker, as a patient-centric identity management system. Methods The study used simulated data of “avatars” representing different types of patients. Thirty study participants were enrolled to visit simulated clinics, and perform various activities using MediLinker. Evaluation was based on Bouras’ criteria for patient-centric identity management and on the number of errors in entry and sharing of data by participants. Results Twenty-nine of the 30 participants completed all study activities. MediLinker fulfilled all of Bouras’ criteria except for one which was not testable. A majority of data errors were due to user error, such as wrong formatting and misspellings. Generally, the number of errors decreased with time. Due to COVID-19, sprint 2 was completed using “virtual” clinic visits. The number of user errors were less in virtual visits than in personal visits. Discussion The evaluation of MediLinker provides some evidence of the potential of a patient-centric identity management system using blockchain technology. The results showed a working system where patients have greater control over their information and can also easily provide consent for use of their data. Conclusion Blockchain applications for identity management hold great promise for use in healthcare but further research is needed before real-world adoption.

Identity Management System

Identity management (IdM) is a method used to determine user identities. The centralized aspect of IdM introduces a serious concern with the growing value of personal information, as well as with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The problem with currently-deployed systems and their dominating approach, with identity providers (IdP) and single-point services, is that a third party is in charge of maintaining and controlling the personal data. The main challenge to manage data securely lies in trusting humans and institutes who are responsible for controlling the entire activity. Identities are not owned by the rightful owners or the user him/herself, but by the mentioned providers. With the rise of blockchain technology, self-sovereign identities are in place utilizing decentralization; unfortunately, the flaws still exist. In this research, we propose DNS-IdM, a smart contract-based identity management system that enables users to maintain their identities associated with certain attributes, accomplishing the self-sovereign concept. DNS-IdM has promising outcomes in terms of security and privacy. Due to the decentralized nature, DNS-IdM is able to avoid not only the conventional security threats, but also the limitations of the current decentralized identity management systems.

PurposeThis study aims to understand the benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of a blockchain-based identity management system in public services by conducting an academic literature review, and to explore the design of such a system that can be applied to the Korean government.Design/methodology/approachThis study explores the adoption of a blockchain-based identity management system using a literature review and an actual design case intended for use by the government sector.FindingsBlockchain-based identity management systems can significantly improve transparency, accountability, and reliability in the user control of one's own data while reducing the time and cost needed to deliver public services, as well as increasing administrative efficiency. However, it is not always easy to implement such systems, and introducing new technologies in the government field requires a complicated, time-consuming process. There is currently an appetite for research extending beyond the typical technology-driven approach to elucidate the government adoption of new technologies and explore its implications.Practical implicationsThe idea behind this system is that by storing and managing personal information on the blockchain and providing mobile apps to customers, users can log in or retrieve previously authenticated personal information without having to go through an authentication process. Since users do not need to go through the verification process every time, it is expected that they will be able to access only the necessary personal information more quickly and conveniently without having to deal with unnecessary details. In addition, the blockchain-based operation of a public service effectively increases the transparency and reliability of that service and reduces the social costs caused by personal information leakage.Originality/valueThis study introduces the design of a blockchain-based identity management system that can be used in public services, specifically in the Korean government sector for the first time. Along with a literature review, the implications that this study gleans from these real-world use cases can contribute to this field of research.

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.
