A Stable and Scalable Decentralized Identification System

Ruchi Gupta, Utkarsh Sharma, Utkarsh Kumar Singh

Abstract


IDs and verification systems are something that we cannot imagine our world without. Every living person is bound to own a government issued ID for their identification. In India we have around 20 major IDs that a person might own, and yet they are susceptible to many shortcomings. These IDs are not universal around the globe & prone to spoofing, theft and more. The main purpose of this research is to propose a decentralized system of universal identifiers where a single ID can be used for selective disclosure of details in every new verification need.
