In recent years, the management of identity, identity theft, and fake identities has become a more significant issue.In our society, maintaining trust and security is always a concern.With time and digitalization, the human race has found many ways to protect individual identities.A good example can be a passport worldwide or an Aadhar card in India.Still, we can always have news about fake documents, even while documents are being digitized.To prevent identity theft and fake identity issues, we can use blockchain technology to link multiple documents together.This would involve the history of that person due to the linking of every past document.The documents are to be verified before being uploaded by authorities and signed by the issuing institution.The authority to access the information should be given only to the holder.Another aspect of how much information should be revealed must be a concern.In this paper, we would like to review some possible solutions to all these problems.
