Blockchain Based Digital Identity Management System for Smart City Services

Centralized systems that require third parties remain opaque and represent a single point of failure. Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of cloud services and identity management mechanisms, it is necessary to move towards more transparent and collaborative methods. That is, all service providers under the same federation deal positively with the issued identity of the user. The distributed format gives good potential for ID management systems and treats everyone with the same level of validity. This paper presents a blockchain-based identity management system for the purpose of creating a federated identity management system that is used by multiple organizations by Taking advantage of decentralization and high transparency in the blockchain. Several vital advantages of blockchain are positive for forming identity management systems characterized by transparency and high security, and privacy. Implementing the proposed system on a private Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network proved effective according to the criteria studied, and there is also great potential for improvement. The practical application of the proposed system proved high quality and promising possibilities in blockchain based identity management. © 2023 IEEE.
