There are a system having identity related inventions, which are patented, are listed below.
US patent application US9722790B2 by Armin Ebrahimi discloses Identity management service using a blockchain providing certifying transactions between devices. Logic on a first remote device receives a first transaction number and personal data transmitted from a second remote device. The first transaction number was received from a distributed public database in response to a transmission, from the second remote device, of a signed hash value and a first public key associated with a first private key on the second remote device. The signed hash value was created by signing a hash value with the first private key and the hash value was generated by hashing the personal data with a hashing algorithm on the second remote device. The logic uses the first transaction number to retrieve the signed hash value and the first public key from the distributed public database. The logic hashes the personal data using the hashing algorithm to create a generated hash value and verifies the signed hash value against the generated hash value.
US patent application US9635000B1 by Sead Muftic discloses Blockchain identity management system based on public identities ledger. The invention describes an identity management system (IDMS) based on the concept of peer-to-peer protocols and the public identities ledger. The system manages digital identities, which are digital objects that contain attributes used for the identification of persons and other entities in an IT system and for making identity claims. The identity objects are encoded and cryptographically encapsulated. Identity management protocols include the creation of identities, the validation of their binding to real-world entities, and their secure and reliable storage, protection, distribution, verification, updates, and use. The identities are included in a specially constructed global, distributed, append-only public identities ledger. They are forward- and backward-linked using the mechanism of digital signatures. The linking of objects and their chaining in the ledger is based on and reflect their mutual validation relationships. The identities of individual members are organized in the form of linked structures called the personal identities chains. Identities of groups of users that validated identities of other users in a group are organized in community identities chains. The ledger and its chains support accurate and reliable validation of identities by other members of the system and by application services providers without the assistance of third parties. The ledger designed in this invention may be either permissioned or un permissioned. Permissioned ledgers have special entities, called BIX Security Policy Providers, which validate the binding of digital identities to real-world entities based on the rules of a given security policy. In unpermissioned ledgers, community members mutually validate their identities. The identity management system provides security, privacy, and anonymity for digital identities and satisfies the requirements for decentralized, anonymous identities management systems.
PCT patent application WO2017090041A1 by Adi BEN-ARI discloses A system and method for blockchain smart contract data privacy. System and method for executing cryptographically secure transactions in a network comprising a public ledger, comprising associating a first proposed transaction with a public keys smart contract and associating at least a second transaction including private data and public data in said network with a cryptographically secure transaction.
Though the prior art patent discloses Identity management service using a blockchain providing certifying transactions between devices, Blockchain identity management system based on public identities ledger and A system and method for blockchain smart contract data privacy, they do not give any perfect solution for identity management of an employee.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger, which relates to a ledger which is spread across the network with all peers in the network, and each peer holds a copy of the complete ledge but no one can change or modify any information. Blockchain is a way of keeping records and can be used in almost any product that uses some sort of record keeping or database management.
