Blockchain's primary goal is to protect user privacy. Users employ key pairs for identity verification and encrypted communication, ensuring that the content of communications can only be accessed by valid participants. This means users can remain anonymous when conducting transactions or transferring digital assets. The Bitcoin network doesn't require users to provide personal identity information; a key pair is sufficient for transactions.
Blockchain technology also offers a method of distributed identity verification. Traditional authentication methods often involve central authorities storing and managing users' personal information, posing risks of data breaches and misuse. In contrast, blockchain-based authentication systems empower users to manage and control their personal information. Each user possesses a unique identity key, which can be used to verify their identity without the need to provide sensitive information to third-party entities. |
