Abstract
In centralized systems, privacy of user identity information relies on centralized entity, such as system administrator. Since centralized entity is responsible to distribute keys to all the users in the system, he can read and modify the identity information. Compromise of such centralized entity results into the entire system vulnerability. Therefore, centralized systems often failed to provide the data privacy and integrity. In addition, centralized systems are also vulnerable to single-point-of-failure. Blockchain based solution is a possible alternate to provide integrity and protect system from single-point-of-failure. But, the ledger of the blockchain, contains all the transactions information, is distributed and available to each member of the blockchain network. Hence, blockchain-based identity management for user authentication, while preserving privacy, is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a novel key management mechanism for blockchain-based identity management for user authentication. The rigorous analysis is presented to show that the proposed protocol is secure against various possible attacks.
