Why should your identity be digital?
Why not?
Because everything in hard copy is destructible. Anything on the blockchain
platform is imperishable. This undestroyable nature of the blockchain is the
most sought-after one. This gives immense security and keeps the matters
private yet anonymous.
This is
termed as pseudo-anonymity. Which means you are given identity, but your real
identity remains hidden. Now, what is the whole point of blockchain digital
identity? How is it beneficial? Firstly how can we implement blockchain for digital identity?
Applying blockchain for digital identity
The very
essence is going to be about the certificates being verified by the nodes. When
a file (say your certificate) is uploaded on a blockchain, it is checked and
okayed by the nodes that maintain the network.
This
happens in a consensus. That is a general agreement between all the nodes. Even
if one node does not agree with the terms, or does not verify okay, the
certificate has to be checked for authenticity.
At the
same time, when your certificate is verified okay, it is stored on the
blockchain with unique codes. It is tagged as authentic. It increases your
credibility as a verified certificate holder.
Importance of blockchain-verified digital certificate
When in a
country not familiar to us, we would prefer using google ratings and reviews to
more about a hotel, doctor or even a restaurant. However, if the concerned
person is too good at marketing, the reviews may or may not be true.
However,
with blockchain, the same review is carried out only by the nodes. There is no
way to bribe the nodes or add fake reviews about the site on the blockchain.
Hence any hotel, doctor, or restaurant holding a blockchain verified digital
certificate has higher values.
