Objective:

CleanID is a digital identity management platform designed to offer a secure, verifiable, and decentralized identity solution for employees and organizations. The platform aims to streamline identity verification processes by providing permanent, on-chain identities that can be shared across organizations, ensuring secure and transparent handling of employee information.

The primary objectives of CleanID are:

• Decentralized Identity Management: Provide a secure platform for creating and managing employee identities on the blockchain, allowing for transparent verification and easy sharing of information.
• Permanent On-Chain Identity: Ensure that Clean IDs are immutable and accessible across organizations, enabling seamless transfer and verification of employment details.
• Simplified Employer-Employee Verification: Allow employers to verify and approve employee information securely, reducing the need for repetitive verification processes.
• Cross-Organization Compatibility: Ensure that the identity created once can be shared and utilized by multiple organizations, fostering interoperability.

Scope of Work:

The scope of work for CleanID includes the development of a blockchain-based platform that allows users to register and obtain a Clean ID, which becomes a permanent, on-chain identity. This identity can be verified by their employer and shared across organizations. The following key areas are covered:

1. User Registration and Identity Creation:
   • Allow users (employees) to register on the platform, fill out necessary information, and create a Clean ID.
   • Ensure all employee data is stored securely and linked to a unique on-chain identity.
2. Employer Verification:
   • Provide functionality for employers to verify and approve employee identities, ensuring accuracy and authenticity of the information.
   • Streamline the approval process to make it easy for organizations to validate employment details and records.
3. On-Chain Identity Management:
   • Develop a decentralized, blockchain-based system for storing and managing employee identities.
   • Ensure Clean IDs are permanent, immutable, and accessible across multiple organizations for verification.
4. Cross-Organization Identity Sharing:
   • Enable seamless sharing of employee identity details between organizations, reducing the need for repetitive identity checks.
   • Provide secure access to employer information across different industries or organizations.
5. Security and Data Privacy:
   • Implement strong encryption and privacy measures to protect user data and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
   • Ensure that users have full control over their data and can choose who has access to their information.
6. User-Friendly Dashboard:
   • Develop a dashboard for users to view their Clean ID, track approval status, and manage data visibility and permissions.
   • Create a separate dashboard for employers to manage employee identities and approve new users.

How We Did It:

1. Blockchain Integration and Decentralization:
   • Blockchain Technology: CleanID is built using blockchain technology to create decentralized, permanent, and immutable identities. This allows for the creation of on-chain Clean IDs that can be verified across multiple organizations.
   • Smart Contracts (Solidity): Developed smart contracts to handle the identity creation, verification, and sharing process securely and transparently. These contracts automate approval workflows and ensure that Clean IDs are trustworthy and tamper-proof.
2. Backend Development:
   • Language: We used Golang and Node.js for backend development, ensuring a robust, scalable backend capable of handling real-time identity verification and data management.
   • Database: Integrated decentralized storage solutions for immutable data storage, while utilizing traditional databases for dynamic, real-time employee information updates.
3. User Registration and Employer Verification Flow:
   • Developed a multi-step registration process where users (employees) can create their Clean ID by entering required information, which is securely stored on-chain.
   • Implemented an approval system where employers verify the provided information and approve the user, making their Clean ID active and ready for use across organizations.
4. Frontend Development:
   • React.js and Web3.js: Used for creating a dynamic and responsive user interface that allows employees and employers to interact seamlessly with the blockchain. Web3.js was integrated to allow for blockchain interactions from the browser.
   • Responsive UI: Built with a focus on cross-device accessibility, ensuring users can manage their Clean IDs from desktop, tablet, or mobile devices.
5. Security and Privacy Measures:
   • Encryption: All employee data is encrypted with AES-256 to ensure secure storage and transmission of sensitive information.
   • Authentication: OAuth 2.0 was implemented for secure user authentication, ensuring that only authorized users can access or modify their data.
   • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Integrated for an additional layer of security, protecting both user accounts and employer verification processes.
6. Cross-Organization Compatibility:
   • Developed features allowing Clean IDs to be shared across different organizations. Employers can securely pull Clean ID data to verify employment histories without needing repetitive checks.
   • Enabled permission-based access, where users can control which organizations or entities have access to their identity information.
7. Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps:
   • AWS: Used for hosting the platform, providing scalable and reliable cloud services. We ensured the infrastructure can handle a growing user base with ease.
   • CI/CD: Employed Jenkins for continuous integration and deployment, ensuring smooth updates and feature rollouts without service interruptions.
8. User Testing and Deployment:
   • The CleanID platform is currently in beta testing, hosted on a test server. Users are participating in registration and testing the process of obtaining a Clean ID, filling out required information, and having it approved by their respective organizations.
   • Ongoing feedback from users during the beta phase is being used to optimize both the registration and verification processes.

Tech Stack Used:

• Blockchain: Ethereum (for on-chain identity creation and smart contract management).
• Backend: Golang, Node.js (for managing user data, interactions, and verification).
• Frontend: React.js, Web3.js (for user interface and blockchain interactions).
• Security: AES-256 encryption for data security, OAuth 2.0 for authentication, MFA for enhanced security.
• Cloud Infrastructure: AWS (for hosting and scalability), Docker (for containerized development).
• DevOps Tools: Jenkins for continuous integration and deployment pipelines.

By developing CleanID using a combination of blockchain technology, decentralized identity management, and user-friendly interfaces, Coding Legends has successfully built a secure platform that empowers employees and organizations to manage and verify digital identities easily and securely across multiple sectors.
