Decentralized Identifier (DID) technology is a technology that uses blockchain technology to prove an individual's identity through information owned by the individual rather than through a central system. In this paper, we would like to present an access control system using decentralized identifier technology. The access control system using decentralized identifier technology (DID access control system) is a system that allows users to verify their identity from the DID blockchain server through their smartphone (mobile employee ID) and access when they are confirmed to be registered in the access control system. Through this, access control can be managed only by verifying identification with smartphones (mobile employee ID) and DID blockchain servers without having to store information to prove an individual's identity in the access control system.

With the development of the Internet, user authentication technology that proves me online is improving. Existing ID methods pose a threat of personal information leakage if the service provider manages personal information and security is weak, and the information subject is to the service provider. In this study, as online identification technology develops, we propose a DID-based self-authentication model to prevent the threat of leakage of personal information from a centralized format and strengthen sovereignty. The proposed model allows users to directly manage personal information and strengthen their sovereignty over information topics through VC issued by the issuing agency. As a research method, a self-authentication model that guarantees security and integrity is presented using a decentralized identifier method based on distributed ledger technology, and the security of the attack method is analyzed. Because it authenticates through DID Auth using public key encryption algorithms, it is safe from sniffing, man in the middle attack, and the proposed model can replace real identity card.

Traditional authentication systems typically involve users entering their username and password into a centralized identity management system. To address the inconvenience of such authentication methods, a decentralized identity authentication system based on Distributed Identifiers(DID) is proposed, utilizing decentralized identity technology. The proposed system employs QR code scanning for login, enhancing security through the use of blockchain technology to ensure the uniqueness and safety of user identities during the login process. This system utilizes DIDs and integrates the InterPlanetary File System(IPFS) to securely manage organizational members' identity information while keeping it private. Using the distributed identity authentication system proposed in this study, it is possible to effectively manage the security and personal identity of organization members. To improve the usability of the system proposed in this study, research is needed to expand it into a solution.

With the recent increase in interest in metaverse in which virtual and physical spaces are digitally fused, many activities in physical spaces are expected to take place in web-based virtual spaces. Therefore, there is a need for research on a self-sovereign identity system that can secure privacy and mutual trust in a DID(decentralized identifier)-based virtual space environment. We, in this paper, developed and validated a reliable communication method consisting of DIDComm messages, a procedure for generating distributed identifiers, asymmetric keys, and DID documents based on Hyperledger Indy and DIDComm open sources. The developed communication method can be applied to verify each other by exchanging additional information and verifiable credentials for trust among communication participants.

The identity verification is one of the most important technologies in online services. Many services in society are provided online, and the service is provided after confirming the user's identity. Users can do a lot of things online, but they also have side effects. Online digital information is easily manipulated and it is difficult to verify its authenticity, causing social confusion. Accordingly, there has been a movement for individuals to directly manage their identity information using DID. In this paper, we propose a system that can authenticate identity by directly adding own personal information and issuing an identifier using DID technology based on a private blockchain. Then, to verify the proposed system, the scenario is executed and verified.

As technological development continues, platforms with more diverse structures are emerging. Existing research predicts that a new structure based on technology and innovation will affect the two-sided market. This study evaluated the decentralized identifier (DID) platform, a new platform based on blockchain technology, of the importance of this platform from the perspective of the two-sided market. Using the Analytic Network Process, IT, platform, and blockchain experts conducted a dual comparison survey. Data with a consistency ratio value of 0.1 or less were selected and analyzed for 12 data. The research results showed the importance of service quality, policy support, openness, and uncertainty. This study is expected to be used to support the development of strategic decision-making for blockchain and DID platform-based business companies.

In the public certificate technology commonly used in Korea, users have a cumbersome problem of always resetting when they forget their password. In this paper, as a solution to this problem, we propose a secure authentication certificate password recovery protocol using blockchain, PKI, and DID for distributed storage. DID is a schema for protecting block ID in blockchain system. The private key used in the PKI is configured as a user's biometric, for example, a fingerprint, so that it can completely replace the memory of the complex private key. To this end, based on the FIDO authentication technology that most users currently use on their smartphones, the process of authenticating a user to access data inside the block minimizes the risk of an attacker taking over the data.

디지털 신원은 온라인 환경에서 빠르게 중요해지고 있으며, 그 관리의 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 중앙화된 신원 관리 시스템의 한계를 인식하며, 탈중앙화된 신원 관리 시스템인 DID(Decentralized Identifier)에 대한 연구와 관심이 확대되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, DID 활용 시 개인정보 유출의 리스크는 여전히 남아 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구는 일회용 DID 기법을 제시하였고, 해당 기법은 사용자의 비연결성을 향상시키며, 키 유출과 관리 문제를 최소화한다. 본 연구를 통해, 일회용 DID가 비연결성 강화, 키의 안전한 관리 등의 이점을 제공함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we developed a mobile student ID providing a self sovereignty identity (SSI) which replaces the conventional plastic-type student ID that includes private information of a student such as a name, a student number, a facial photo, etc. The implemented mobile student ID solves the problem of exposing student's identity due to a loss or a theft of a plastic-type student ID, and it has a structure and process of FRANCHISE model which is developed by a concept of a decentralized Identity(DID) of a Blockchain, in which specialized for convenience as an electronic student ID through an application on a smart phone device. In addition, it protects student's privacy by controlling personal information on oneself. By using a smartphone, not only it easily identifies the student but also it expands to several services such as participation in school events, online authentication, and a student's exchange program among colleges.

Hyperledger Indy is an open-source implementation of DID, a decentralized identity verification technology. Hyperledger Indy uses the RBFT consensus algorithm, and if there is a lack of consensus with more than a certain number of problem nodes in the pool, data is not added. This problem can be prevented in advance by adding a node, and a node monitoring system was implemented to operate automatically. The node monitoring system continuously checks the status of the pool and automatically adds nodes when there are more than a certain number of problematic nodes to prevent consensus problems from occurring. This proposed method can increase the availability of Hyperledger Indy and is a study that can be referenced in various blockchain services that use consensus algorithms.
