Identity is a set of claims about a person, place
or thing. This usually comprises of first and last name,
birth date, nationality, and some form of national identity
for people, such as passport number, phone number (SSN),
driving license, etc. These data points are issued and stored
in centralized databases (central government servers) by
centralized bodies (governments). For different purposes,
physical forms of identification are not easily obtainable to
every human being.
Approximately 1.1 billion individuals around the world
have no means of claiming possession of their identity.
This leaves one seventh of the world's population unable to
vote in elections, own land, open a bank account, or find
jobs in a fragile state. The failure to obtain identity
documents jeopardizes the access of an individual to the
financial system and in turn, restricts their rights People
with officially recognised identification types continue to
lack full ownership. They have a fragmented experience of
online identity and unknowingly miss the importance that
their details creates. We can store identity on a
decentralized network by using block chain technology.
We can develop an application that offers access so that
users can store their information and avoid data
tampering, and we will also provide access to the
individual who needs our information.
