Abstract

In this paper, a decentralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) application named “Bittrack” has been proposed. The advent of Blockchain technology as a juggernaut in the world of innovations has tagged on with itself revolutionary ways of handling identity on digital platforms. In this paper we propose a high-level architecture of the implemented dapp written in Vuejs that interacts with the Ethereum blockchain on a public test net. With an aim towards building a better model our system follows a more human centric approach for managing of identities using its own consensus mechanism. Later into the paper, we have shown how the reputation of the user can uncover the various undiscussed dynamics of an ideal identity management system. Therefore, the requirements for scalability of our system are far less stringent in comparisons to the current proposed models and thereby making our system to function as an independent model to manage the identities of the user in a highly secure and an efficient manner.
