Advanced Digital Identity Orchestration Engine for Privacy-Preserving KYC Verification

Abstract The quick jumps in developing new digital identity technologies have resulted in this trend of developing privacy-preserving solutions in Know Your Customer (KYC) verification systems. This article delves into the evolution of an Advanced Digital Identity Orchestration Engine to enhance privacy protection in the KYC processes. With the rise of concerns surrounding data privacy and security, traditional knowledge of customer systems which are based on centralized database, have faced major challenges including data breaches and unauthorized access. In contrast, the proposed identity orchestration engine draws on the use of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) principles, blockchain technology, and verifiable credentials to offer a decentralized, secure and privacy-preserving solution to identity management problem.
This engine allows users to manage their personal identity information, and selectively share their information with entities they trust without losing their privacy. By leveraging decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and public key cryptography, the system is enabled to ensure the sensitive data isn't kept in a central place causing reduction in the odds of unauthorized access. Furthermore, features such as zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and selective disclosure provide the option for a granular control on what data is shared to ensure that only the required information is provided to comply with regulation requirements.
This article also talks about integrating the orchestration engine with existing frameworks for KYC and explores the scalability, interoperability, and potential for this engine to help increase inclusivity in digital identity management. Through case studies and real-world examples, the paper points out the efficiency in working of this engine in getting better security and privacy and user experience in the process of KYC verification. Ultimately, the solution proposed creates a major step forward to privacy-preserving and user-centric digital Identity systems adapted both globally to regulatory requirements and to increase trust in digital financial services.
