“…Passwords and personal identity information is traditionally stored in a centralized server which makes it possible for hackers to achieve their malicious goals by stealing, misusing or manipulating these data. Therefore, service providers are required to create stronger mechanisms, by adding multiple factors authentication for access and stronger encryption, which further complicates the system [8].…”

The Internet today lacks an identity protocol for identifying people and organizations. As a result, service providers needed to build and maintain their own databases of user information. This solution is costly to the service providers, inefficient as much of the information is duplicated across different providers, difficult to secure as evidenced by recent large-scale personal data breaches around the world, and cumbersome to the users who need to remember different sets of credentials for different services. Furthermore, personal information could be collected for data mining, profiling and exploitation without users' knowledge or consent. The ideal solution would be self-sovereign identity, a new form of identity management that is owned and controlled entirely by each individual user. This solution would include the individual's consolidated digital identity as well as their set of verified attributes that have been cryptographically signed by various trusted issuers. The individual provides proof of identity and membership by sharing relevant parts of their identity with the service providers. Consent for access may also be revoked hence giving the individual full control over its own data. This survey critically investigates different blockchain based identity management and authentication frameworks. A summary of the state-of-the-art blockchain based identity management and authentication solutions from year 2014 to 2018 is presented. The paper concludes with the open issues, main challenges and directions highlighted for future work in this area. In a nutshell, the discovery of this new mechanism disrupted the existing identity management and authentication solutions and by providing a more promising secure platform.

“…with organizations in exchange of services. To overcome stealing, misusing or manipulating these data in central approach, services providers are required to provide many factor authentications along with management of identities which further complicates the systems [2]. Besides central approach, federated instances provides access to multiple sites with same credentials.…”

In the digital revolution, even secure communication between individuals, services and devices through centralized digital entities presents considerable risks. Service providers collect and store information that is used for data mining, profiling and exploitation without users' knowledge or consent. Having service providers continue to offer their centric solutions is inefficient in terms of duplication, has serious security lacunae and is cumbersome to the users. The Self-sovereign Identity (SSI) concept, which includes the individual's consolidated digital identity and verified attributes, enables the users of data to exert their ownership and gain insights from their data's usage. The authentication and verification of digital identity is essential to achieve the privacy and security of distributed digital identities. However, the current literature still lacks the comprehensive study on components of identity management as well as user privacy and data protection mechanisms in identity management architecture. In this paper, we provide a coherent view of the central concepts of SSI, including the components of identity proofing and authentication solutions for different SSI solutions. Firstly, we discussed an overview of Identity management approaches, introducing an architecture overview as well as the relevant actors in such a system and blockchain technology as solution for distributed user-centric identity. Then we analyzed the authentication and verification mechanisms in the context of digital identity. Finally, we discuss the existing solutions and point out the research gaps and elaborate challenges and trade-offs towards building a complete identity management system (IdMs).
