A self-sovereign identity (SSI) system is presented for managing and transferring ownership of consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices, utilizing Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials (VCs), and blockchain technology. The formal verification with ProVerif validates the protocol's security against common threats, while a proof-of-concept demonstrates its practical application and performance characteristics on mobile devices.
Key insights
- Adopting a user-centric SSI model empowers individuals to control their IoT device ownership data and consent to transfers, moving away from manufacturer- or third-party-controlled paradigms.
- The integration of DIDs, VCs, and blockchain provides a decentralized, immutable, and cryptographically secure foundation for ownership claims and transfers, mitigating risks like identity spoofing and data tampering.
- Formal verification using ProVerif confirmed the protocol's ability to maintain secrecy and authentication goals, providing a strong assurance of its security properties against adversarial attacks.
