Abstract

Blockchain-based identity management systems have emerged as a promising solution for secure and decentralized identity verification and authentication. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current state of blockchain-based identity management systems, focusing on their key principles, benefits, challenges, and applications. We discuss the underlying technology of blockchain and its relevance to identity management, highlighting the advantages of decentralization, immutability, and transparency. We also analyze various use cases of blockchain-based identity management systems in different sectors, including finance, healthcare, and government. Additionally, we examine the challenges and limitations of these systems, such as scalability, privacy, and regulatory concerns. Finally, we propose future research directions and potential improvements for the adoption of blockchain-based identity management systems.
