Abstract

Abstract: Identity and Access management (IAM) [1] plays an important role when it comes to background verification. It is a great way to know people you are working with, whether it is a professional front or some local business. Identity theft and secure document exchange are major issues with the current scenario and blockchain offers to be a great solution. The introduction of the public key, private key, transaction verification and foot printing will play a significant role in securing IAM. The idea is to store user documents and other critical information inside the block chain. All the verification is given based on the user’s consensus to the particular request which will trigger further functionalities, responsible for secure data exchange. According to the property of blockchain, the chain will contain the history of each transaction that keeps track of every user-company activity that will prevent any action which is against the will of both parties.

Key words: IAM, blockchain, consensus, identity management, transactions, crypto currency, MetaMask, Ethereum, public key, private key
