Abstract: Internet of Things has been ‘the next big thing’ for a while now and it is estimated that the number of connected devices will exceed 50 billion by 2020. This extravagant growth in number of connected devices has alarmed us to shift the approach in designing identity and access management systems. People tend to provide different passwords and identifications for each of the platforms they use. This could be troublesome as they might forget their password and lose their identifications as well. One more problem is that the user doesn’t know if he is providing only the necessary information or he is exposing himself to something he is not supposed to. This makes us think about a solution where the user provides minimum amount of his personal information for verification. We propose an IoT based solution using smart band with fingerprint biometric system to achieve the idea of ”one touch multiple login” (i.e. single band to authenticate multiple platforms). We have addressed the Self-sovereign identity crisis using blockchain technology and its derived protocols.
