Method for managing a digital identity system
A method for managing a digital identity system includes generating a user digital identity for a user, generating an asset digital identity for an asset, generating a user public key and a user private key after the user digital identity is generated, generating descriptive data related to the asset, generating a data public key and a data private key after the descriptive data is generated, encrypting the data with the data public key to generate encrypted data, saving the data private key on a user end, uploading the encrypted data to a cloud database, a platform reading the encrypted data from the cloud database, a data requester querying and requesting for data, forwarding a data request to a data owner in an qualified data owner set and granting a data access to the data request if the data owner accepts the data request.
1. A method for managing a digital identity system comprising:
generating a user digital identity for a user upon receiving a registration of the user;
generating an asset digital identity for an asset upon receiving a registration of the asset;
generating a user public key and a user private key after the user digital identity is generated;
generating descriptive data related to the asset;
generating a data public key and a data private key after the descriptive data is generated;
encrypting the data with the data public key to generate encrypted data;
saving the data private key on a user end;
uploading the encrypted data to a cloud database;
a platform reading the encrypted data from the cloud database;
a data requester querying and requesting for data;
forwarding a data request to a data owner in a qualified data owner set;
granting a data access to the data request when the data owner accepts the data request;
hashing the encrypted data to generate hashed data;
uploading the hashed data to the cloud database;
encrypting the hashed data with the user private key at the user end to generate encrypted hash data;
recording the encrypted hash data on a block chain;
after the data access is granted, the data owner providing the user public key and the data private key to the platform;
after the platform receives the user public key, decrypting the encrypted hash data to generate the hashed data on the block chain; and
using the hashed data to index the encrypted data in the cloud database.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising when the encrypted data is not indexed successfully, returning a failed signal to the platform and presenting the failed signal to the data requester and the data owner.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising when the encrypted data is indexed successfully, returning a success signal to the platform and presenting the success signal to the data requester and the data owner.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising the platform obtaining the encrypted data from the cloud database.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
using the data private key to decrypt the encrypted data; and
providing a unique download link to the data requester.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the unique download link is a one-time download link and is available in a limited time period.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after the platform receives the user public key, decrypting the encrypted hash data; and
when the hashed data is not generated by decrypting the encrypted hash data, returning a failed signal to the platform and presenting the failed signal to the data requester and the data owner.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the descriptive data comprises a name of the asset, a generation date of the descriptive data, and a field description of the descriptive data.
