A Project To Verify Identity Using Blockchain

Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain platform in the world, we are using new technology to build a radically better financial system. A decentralized identification system that would allow parties performing blockchain transactions to verify, on a primary level, the identity of each other without having to disclose non-essential sensitive personal information to the counterparties; and on a secondary level the source of the Cryptocurrencies in the transaction.

IAME

IAME is a project that proposing solution to change the way the identification process is conducted to the point that a person’s data is fragmented prior to confirmation by a series of independent third parties, who are not affiliated to any parties within the transaction.

The IAME Identification Network

The proposed IAME Identification Network would have a core that consists of:

a client,
an allocation server,
a validation server,
a writeable blockchain, and
an identity server.

Each component would carry out specific functions that can be demonstrated in 2 processes - a validation process, and an identification process.

The validation process would be the operation through which the client would have her/his information validated by third-party validators. The process is as shown below:
Upon request, statements and their corresponding supporting information would be fragmented at the client level and encrypted into validation packets to be sent to the allocation server.
The allocation server would control the random allocation of validation packets to third-party validators, who would return the result of their validations to the validation server.
Once the above is completed, the validation server would evaluate the validations from the third-party validators, and hash numeric or boolean confirmations paired to specific statements on a designated writeable blockchain.

For a counterparty to transact with a client, an identification process has to be completed. This process is based on the counterparty’s own specific requirements.

Assuming that the counterparty requires Data 1,2,.. n to be validated for a specific transaction with a party, the counterparty sends a request to the Identity Server for the validation status of Data 1,2,.. n.
The Identity Server reads the blockchain for validation status of Data 1,2,..n for the party, and returns the validation data to the counterparty, and from thereon the counterparty can complete the transaction.

While the IAME Identification Network would not be a bypass for data sharing between transactional counterparties, it would serve to segregate the distribution and validation of non-essential sensitive personal information.

Third Party Validation

Pursuant to the concept of the IAME fragmented identification system, there is a requirement for a system of decentralised third-party validators under the rational that an identification validation conducted by a multitude of third-party validators is more dependable and less susceptible to the risk of fraud than an identification validation conducted by a single institution or party.

The solution we propose is a symmetric game model that will encourage truthful validation that is analogous to the Byzantine Fault Tolerance - the Trial Algorithm.

Aspects of the Trial Algorithm:

Each statement and their corresponding supporting information are processed as fragments ( “Evidence” );
Evidence is validated not by single third-party validators ( “Jury” ), but by a Jury (a “Tribunal” );
Each jury validates in a designated method on whether the Evidence matches the statements
The Tribunal validations are counted and a majority rule consensus is reached
If there is a non-majority consensus on an evidence, the evidence is sent through a second tribunal ( “Appeal” )
If the appeal jury votes to a majority consensus identical to the initial tribunal,the decision is upheld, or else the initial tribunal decision is rejected

An Identification System for Blockchain P2P Transaction

With a functional IAME Identification Network, the primary application would be the facilitation of blockchain P2P transaction, such as online merchant transactions. Taking into consideration a simple online purchase where a customer purchases a physical good from an online merchant with Cryptocurrencies, the amount of personal data that is communicated from the customer to the merchant can be segregated into two categories: essential to the transaction and non-essential to the transaction.

Essential information would be a name and an address without which the transaction and the delivery of the good cannot occur

Non-essential information would include, for example, an identity document to prove the name of the customer, a utility bill to prove that the address belongs to the customer, and the specific date of birth of the customer

The IAM Token

To operate the IAME Identification Network, a functional token will be issued, known as the IAM Token, which would operate as a validation token to initiate confirmation requests for validation packets on the IAME Identification Network.

The value of the IAM Token would be, in essence, determined by 2 factors:

The cost of validation, which would be proportional to the financial cost of hashing the requested amount of data on the designated blockchain, setting a price floor for the token

Market demand, which would be proportional to the demand for blockchain identification based on the IAME Identification Network
