Popis: Most user authentication methods and identity proving systems rely on centralized databases. Such information storage presents a single point of compromise from a security perspective. If this system is compromised, it poses a direct threat to a significant number of users’ digital identities. A recent example of compromised data includes the Equifax breach, which affected 140 million people. The other issue with these centralized systems that individuals don’t have a control of how much of their Personal Identifying information (PII) is shared in different contexts.
