Investigation of Blockchain Based Identity System for Privacy Preserving University Identity Management System

Existing blockchain based identity systems are analyzed under the context of the university identity management requirements. The private or consortium blockchain is more suitable for identity system which will be used for university. The transparency of public blockchains raises some concerns for privacy and confidentiality. The most important issue is that the volume of the data generated can be very large exceeding the practical storage capabilities of the current blockchain usages. The existing identity systems are not well fixed with the university identity management system really needs, especially they remain needing the relevant issue of effective consent revocation. The append only storage of blockchain can be a barrier for implementing the revocability of consent. Some private blockchain based system has the potential vendor lock in effects. Thus, hybrid identity system is suggested for university identity management.
