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.

The efficiency and quality of healthcare services rely heavily on the secure protection and transparent management of individuals' medical information, which is becoming increasingly important in the digital age. To address this issue, we propose a distributed identity management (DID) and electronic medical record (EMR) integration system based on Hyperledger Indy, which aims to ensure the ownership of medical information to individuals and increase the accessibility and utilization of medical information. The system will allow individuals to manage their own medical information and share it transparently when necessary, which will improve the efficiency of healthcare services. In addition, the system will securely protect and transparently manage medical information, increasing the transparency of medical services and strengthening individuals' control over their medical information. Thus, the system will contribute significantly to improving the quality of medical services, protecting individuals' medical information, and improving the efficiency of medical services.

In this paper, we propose a system that improves the data integrity of IoT(Internet of Things) devices in the virtual environment by combining Hyperledger Indy and MQTT(Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). The system complements the limitations of the centralized system by realizing a DPKI(Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure) structure that utilizes a distributed network in publish-subscribe(pub/sub) pattern communication. Digital signature technology was applied to ensure the data integrity of IoT devices and communication scenarios between the four core components of the client, IoT device, broker, and blockchain, as well as a topic structure using a decentralized identifier to ensure safety in the virtual environment. We present a systematic method for transparent data exchange. To prove the performance of the proposed system, this paper conducted experiments on four scenarios and evaluated communication performance in a virtual environment. The experimental results confirmed that the proposed system provides a reliable IoT data communication structure in a virtual environment.

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.

개인의 신원정보 보호에 대한 중요성이 높아지면서 개인이 직접 자신의 신원정보를 관리하고 데이터의 주권을 신원정보 소유자에게 부여하는 자기주권 신원 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 자기주권 신원 시스템 내에서 개인은 스스로 자신을 식별할 수 있는 분산 식별자(DID: decentralized identifier)를 생성하고 분산 식별자 별 개인의 자격을 증명해주는 자격증명(VC: verifiable credentials) 정보를 발급받아 개인이 보유하며 자격증명의 검증을 요구하는 검증자에게 선택적으로 자격증명 정보를 제시한다. 개인의 프라이버시를 보호하기 위해 개인의 자격증명을 제시할 때 신원정보의 실제 데이터는 감추고 자격증명의 유효성은 입증시키는 영지식 증명의 개념을 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영지식 증명 기술을 살펴보고 하이퍼레저 인디(Hyperledger Indy) 기반 자기주권 신원 시스템에서 영지식 증명 기술 도입 예를 보인다.

As remote services and remote work become commonplace, the use of the Metaverse has grown. This allows transactions like real estate and finance in virtual Second Life. However, conducting economic activities in the Metaverse presents unique security challenges compared to the physical world and conventional cyberspace. To address these, the paper proposes solutions centered on authentication and privacy. It suggests improving data preprocessing based on Metaverse data's uniqueness and introduces a new authentication service using NFTs while adhering to W3C's DID framework. The system is implemented using Hyperledger Indy blockchain, and its success is confirmed through implementation analysis.
