Ciphera: A Decentralised Biometric Identity Framework
Centralised biometric identity systems expose users to single points of failure, opaque verification processes, and irreversible biometric compromise. Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) offer stronger privacy guarantees, yet their integration with biometric authentication and distributed verification remains insufficiently explored. This paper presents Ciphera, a decentralised biometric identity framework combining privacy-preserving facial recognition, multi-node verification, IPFS-based credential metadata storage, and blockchain-anchored revocation. Evaluated across functional, performance, security, and distributed consistency dimensions, Ciphera achieve...
