Continuous Identity Verification using Blockchain Technology

With physical interactions greatly restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is forced to rapidly adapt and embrace digital transformation. There is an urgent need for a digital identity infrastructure to authenticate users who rely on online services. The system must accurately validate physical identities, provide each user the ability to control access to its personal data, and support usage auditing. Furthermore, the infrastructure must operate at a large scale, maintain security and confidentiality while being practical and convenient to use for the average user. To address this important challenge, we propose a multi-disciplinary approach which combines biometrics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies. Our objective is to explore relevant use cases, particularly those related to COVID-19, and develop a working prototype.
