Abstract

Recently, with high technology development the need for digital identity as personal identification has become more essential and not limited for the Cybernet world and can also be used every day in the real world. Many popular identity management systems such as uPort, Sovrin and shoCard use the digital identity that will be compared with our method. This extremely personal data must be kept hidden and secure. Moreover, these day-to-day documents are used in their physical form, adding to the risk of being stolen, lost, or forged. In this paper an approach model is proposed for a private blockchain-based software application that converts supported documents into a digital format using Hyperledger fabric, which is one of the popular blockchain technologies. In addition, a verification method using face and text recognition technologies is proposed to ensure the credibility of information access. The main purpose is to keep all the personal documents, such as ID, license, and birth certificate, in one place and accessible at all times, subsequently, reducing the risk of losing or misplacing them during regular activities.
