Blockchain at its core, is a new type of Database system in a way that allows multiple stakeholders to confidently and securely share access to the same data and information. Create a blockchain app that will manage the digital identity for individuals. The app will leverage the power of blockchain and should be further integrated with biometrics. Users can fill basic details like name, age, address, finger print, profession, etc. This registration can be viewed and approved by a government organization after validating the records. Multiple organizations can validate various data attributes. For eg, the RTO department can validate driving License details, universities can validate education details, etc. Users should have an option to selectively share the data he/she wishes to share (like biometrics, biographic data, education etc.) with anyone by selecting the data attribute and entering the ID of the third party.
