Distributed and Biometric Signature-Based Identity Proofing System for the Maritime Sector

Abstract

The maritime sector is an industry that faces significant and various challenges related to cyber security and data management, such as fr aud and user authentication. Therefore, there is a need fo r a secure solution that can effectively manage data transactions while resolving digital identity. A biometric signature application in blockchain fo r fighting fr aud and fake identities may provide a solution in the maritime sector. This research proposes a biometric signature and an IPFS network-blockchain framework to address these challenges. This paper also discusses the proposed fr amework's cyber security challenges that threaten behavioral biometric security.
