A Blockchain-Enhanced Self-Sovereign Identity Platform for Corporate Resource Security

Abstract

In an era dominated by concerns of data breaches, and identity theft, security of corporate resources and assets has become paramount. Centralized identity management systems traditionally present vulnerabilities that can fundamentally threaten corporate security. This paper introduces a novel platform to identity management in organizations, leveraging the principles of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and the technological robustness of blockchain. By giving individuals unwavering control over their digital identities and reducing dependence on centralized intermediaries, SSI provides a transformative advancement in security and privacy. When combined with blockchain's immutable, decentralized, and transparent nature, this model ensures a verifiable, tamper-proof, and holistic identity management system. Beyond individual identity management, this paradigm provides corporations with a robust mechanism to protect their assets, both digital and physical. We explore the architectural design and benefits of implementing the proposed system, BlockSSI-CRS, emphasizing its transformative potential for corporate resource protection. Through rigorous analysis, this paper highlights the feasibility of a blockchain-enhanced SSI platform in the context of corporate security needs.
