Securing Digital Futures: Exploring Decentralised Systems and Blockchain for Enhanced Identity Protection

Abstract

The Digital Identity Decentralized System on Blockchain (DIDSB), a decentralised system for digital identity management, leverages the features of blockchain technology to provide a novel solution to the challenges of identity management. The DIDSB framework classifies entities into three distinct categories, namely identity providers, service providers, and end-users. The efficacy of the system in identifying and extracting fields from identification cards is attributed to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Subsequently, the system dissects the fields into smaller constituents to facilitate optical character recognition (OCR) and user authentication. The utilisation of the zero-knowledge proof concept by DIDSB enables secure authentication with service providers. This obviates the necessity of divulging any personal data while undergoing the authentication procedure. This advanced system empowers users to exercise authority over their confidential information while simultaneously safeguarding it with optimal efficacy and security. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that the system exhibits a proficient ability to combat identity fraud, while concurrently preserving the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data.
