The Horcrux Protocol: A Method for Decentralized Biometric-based Self-sovereign Identity
Most user authentication methods and identity proving systems rely on a centralized database. Such information storage presents a single point of compromise from a security perspective. If this system is compromised it poses a direct threat to users' digital identities. This paper proposes a de...

| description | Most user authentication methods and identity proving systems rely on a
centralized database. Such information storage presents a single point of
compromise from a security perspective. If this system is compromised it poses
a direct threat to users' digital identities. This paper proposes a
decentralized authentication method, called the Horcrux protocol, in which
there is no such single point of compromise. The protocol relies on
decentralized identifiers (DIDs) under development by the W3C Verifiable Claims
Community Group and the concept of self-sovereign identity. To accomplish this,
we propose specification and implementation of a decentralized biometric
credential storage option via blockchains using DIDs and DID documents within
the IEEE 2410-2017 Biometric Open Protocol Standard (BOPS). |
