VeidBlock: Verifiable identity using blockchain and ledger in a software defined network
Abbasi, Abdul Ghafoor; Khan, Zaheer
Abstract
Blockchain and verifiable identities have a lot of potential in future distributed software applications e.g. smart cities. In this paper, we proposed a novel technique, namely VeidBlock, to generate verifiable identities by following a reliable authentication process. These entities are managed by using the concepts of blockchain ledger and distributed through an advance mechanism to protect them against tampering. All identities created using VeidBlock approach are self-verifiable and anonymous therefore it preserves user’s privacy in verification and authentication phase. As a proof of concept, we implemented and tested the VeidBlock protocols by integrating it in a SDN based infrastructure. Analysis of the test results yield that all components successfully and autonomously performed initial authentication and locally verified all the identities of connected components.
