Blockchain-Based Digital Identity and Credential Management Virtual Internship
In this virtual internship, students will learn to develop self-sovereign identity solutions and decentralized credential management systems using Ethereum, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), and Verifiable Credentials. They will gain hands-on experience in building blockchain-based applications that empower individuals to control their digital identities and credentials. The internship will cover the core concepts of decentralized identity, the implementation of DID and Verifiable Credential standards, and the deployment of secure and scalable identity management solutions.
Track Overview
Tasks & Milestones
Research Paper on Self-Sovereign Identity
IntermediateStudents will research and write a comprehensive paper on the principles of self-sovereign identity, its advantages over traditional identity management systems, and the potential impact of decentralized identity on various industries and applications.
Implement a DID Registry on Ethereum
IntermediateStudents will build a DID registry smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing users to create, update, and manage their DIDs.
Implement Verifiable Credentials using IPFS and Ethereum
IntermediateStudents will create a decentralized application (dApp) that allows users to issue, verify, and manage Verifiable Credentials using IPFS and Ethereum.
Design and Develop a Decentralized Identity Management System
IntermediateStudents will design and develop a decentralized identity management system that allows users to create, manage, and share their digital identities and credentials.
Deployment and Maintenance Plan
IntermediateStudents will create a comprehensive deployment and maintenance plan for their decentralized identity management application, addressing security, scalability, and long-term management considerations.
