Abstract

Most of the authentication protocols assume the existence of a Trusted Third Party (TTP) in the form of a Certificate Authority or as an authentication server. The main objective of this research is to present an autonomous solution where users could store their credentials, without depending on TTPs. For this, the use of an autonomous network is imperative, where users could use their uniqueness in order to identify themselves. We propose the framework "Three Blockchains Identity Management with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (3BI-ECC)". Our proposed framework is a decentralize identity management system where users' identities are self-generated.
