  • BLOCKCHAIN-ENHANCED PROOF OF IDENTITY
    Publication number: 20230299965
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of blockchain-enhanced proof of identity (POI) includes receiving identity information of a user in connection with a POI request. The method also includes generating a first cryptographic hash using at least a portion of the identity information and storing the first cryptographic hash on a public blockchain in a first blockchain transaction. The method also includes establishing a request identifier based on the first blockchain transaction. The method also includes receiving a digital image that depicts the user together with a POI document, the digital image including the request identifier. The method also includes creating a POI digital document comprising at least a portion of the digital image. The method also includes generating a second cryptographic hash using at least a portion of the POI digital document and storing the second cryptographic hash on the public blockchain in a second blockchain transaction.
