Blockpass provides users with a solution for self-sovereign identity while limiting hacking risks. Following recent data breach scandals involving big companies, it is evident that centralization of personal user data should be avoided wherever possible.
Blockpass provides an alternative solution for centralized data storage that will have two major benefits to consumers:
1. Users are in control of their identity and only they can decide who accesses it
2. No centralized server stores sensitive personal data
When a user submits identity details and documents to Blockpass for verification, a copy is stored locally and encrypted with a password on the user’s mobile device. The user is the only person who holds the password to decrypt it.
