| Abstract [eng] |
The growing demand for secure digital identity systems in the EU requires GDPR-compliant solutions that address accountability and data control in decentralized technologies. This research enhances privacy by using IPFS for decentralized storage and BBS+ cryptography to enable selective disclosure of credential attributes, without storing sensitive information directly on-chain. It explores secure issuance, verification, and storage of DIDs and VCs while ensuring GDPR compliance, including data minimization and the "right to be forgotten." BBS+ commitments enable selective disclosure and unlinkability, reducing traceability risks. IPFS ensures sensitive data remains off-chain. This conceptual study lays the groundwork for integrating these techniques, with future work assessing their feasibility and scalability in real-world identity verification. |
