Abstract

Due to the high degree of privacy and sensitivity, it is difficult to share distributed digital identity with multiple parties. Blockchain-based distributed digital identities could address the issues of data sharing. However, the blockchain systems contain a wide variety of heterogeneous autonomous systems, and each blockchain system performs independent identity authentication. To be specific, it is difficult to realize mutual recognition and trust in digital identity. In this survey, we introduce the technical architecture of distributed digital identity and research the technical principle and development application of cross-chain technology. In addition, we expound the research status of cross-chain technology and the cross-chain-based distributed digital identity mechanism to realize unified and trusted cross-chain identity mutual recognition.
