Abstract
Blockchain technology presents a promising solution for improving identity management systems, and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods. This research investigates the application of blockchain in identity management, with a specific focus on the self-sovereign model that empowers individuals to exert authority over their own data. The decentralized and transparent nature of blockchain, coupled with cryptographic techniques and consensus mechanisms, ensures the integrity and security of identity information. Additionally, blockchain offers advantages such as enhanced security, transparency, and individual data control. The study proposes a high-level algorithm for establishing and accessing identities on the blockchain and evaluates existing blockchain-based identity management systems. In summary, blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize identity management by granting individuals greater control over their data, while simultaneously enhancing security and efficiency in the process.
