Introduction
Decentralized identity management using blockchain technology has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize the way individuals and organizations manage and control their identities online. Traditional identity management systems are often centralized, making them vulnerable to data breaches and identity theft. By leveraging blockchain technology, decentralized identity management systems offer a more secure, transparent, and user-centric approach to managing digital identities.
This thesis aims to explore the concept of decentralized identity management using blockchain technology, examining its potential benefits, challenges, and implications for the future of online identity management.
