Introduction

Identity Management

Identity has a problem. If it’s paper-based, such as birth certificates sitting idly in a basement of a town hall, it’s subject to loss, theft or fraud. A digital identity reduces the level of bureaucracy and increases the speed of processes within organisations by allowing for a greater interoperability between departments and other institutions. But if this digital identity is stored on a centralised server, it becomes a target for hackers. Since 2017 alone, more than 600 million personal details – such as addresses or credit card numbers – have been hacked, leaked or breached from organisations.

Most of the current identity management systems are weak and outdated and hence companies “outsourced” their identity management to major corporations like Google or Facebook who have an economic interest in ammassing such large databases of personal data, so we see options like “Login with Google” or “Login with Facebook” functionalities. This raises privacy and security concerns as Facebook or Google are being called as the “middlemen of trust”.

Proposed Method

implemented oauth2.0 spec based authorization flow

Flow

• Company/government body request for user data
• User will be notified about the request
• User can accept/reject client request
• All the files data will be fetched from the ipfs and ethereum network
• Fetched files will be encrypted with the client public key will be send back (using elliptic curve cryptography)

TODO

• consent flow frontend integration
