The ID card is the proof of residents living in mainland China, and is widely used in card application, entry and exit, marriage registration and other scenarios. But in the future, eID digital identity may replace this plastic card in our hands.

The eID digital identity is a digital token issued to Chinese citizens by the "Ministry of Public Security Citizen Network Identity Recognition System" with the citizen identity number as the root and based on a cryptographic algorithm.

The "Ministry of Public Security Citizen Network Identity Recognition System" was established by the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, a scientific research unit directly under the Ministry of Public Security, to meet the needs of virtual society management, protection of citizens' personal privacy and network security. Since it was put into operation for 8 years, the system has formed a full lifecycle management of 100 million eIDs.

After digitizing identity information, how to make eID better serve residents has become a difficult problem. The trusted identity chain is thus generated.

According to reports, the Trusted Identity Chain is an electronic authentication service platform jointly developed by the eID network identity operator under the guidance of the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security and E-link. E-Link is jointly established by Beijing Zhongdian Tongye Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Taiyi Cloud Co., Ltd. (stock code: 430070).

The background is not small, so how does the trusted identity chain work?

First of all, it needs to be clear that the trusted identity chain takes the protection of personal information as the primary principle, and completes identity authentication online under this premise, and even provides data circulation.

Take applying for a mortgage as an example. Li Si, a user who has an eID on the trusted identity chain, initiates a mortgage loan application to Bank A through his mobile phone; Bank A requests the identity service agency on the chain (such as a government agency) to verify the identity of the applicant (to prove that "Li Si" is " Li Si"); Bank A can also ask identity service agencies B, C, and D (which can be banks and other entities with other data) to provide Li Si's credit records. This operation needs to be confirmed by Li Si, and B, C, and D agree Provide personal information to Bank A. Bank A will then use the received information to determine whether Li Si meets the loan requirements. At the same time, what Bank A has access to is Li Si's eID and related encrypted data, not his real information, so it cannot be retained from other institutions. The retrieved information ensures the security of data circulation.

In China, a country with 829 million Internet users, the problem of personal information leakage cannot be ignored. The report shows that among all kinds of network security issues, Chinese netizens have the highest proportion of encountering information leakage problems, reaching 28.5%.

Solving the problem of privacy leakage is not just as simple as supervising some Internet companies, but starting from the root cause of citizen identity information authentication. Transform the previous online identity authentication method of "name + citizen ID number" into a trusted authentication based on blockchain, and encrypt the source of identity information to ensure that subsequent data transfer is worry-free.
