Abstract
“La pieza fundamental de cualquier sociedad es el individuo.”
El concepto de sociedad es intrínseco a la naturaleza del ser humano. Debido a que todos formamos parte de algún grupo social, es esencial dar respuesta a las preguntas de quiénes somos y qué nos diferencia de los demás. Estas cuestiones dieron lugar a la génesis del concepto de Identidad. Las personas somos el conjunto de características que nos identifican: nuestra edad, sexo, estatura, comportamiento, lugar de residencia, progenitores, afiliación a grupos sociales... Todos estos rasgos representan la esencia de nuestro ser y son los que dictan cuál es nuestro lugar en la sociedad a la que pertenecemos.
La posesión de todo aquello que forma nuestra propia identidad es vital, desde el uso de un pasaporte o documento nacional de identidad a la hora de viajar hasta el uso de un carné de conducir para poder circular en un vehículo, las personas estamos constantemente empleando las credenciales que tenemos. Hoy en día más que nunca tenemos la necesidad de administrar nuestras credenciales para realizar todo tipo de trámites dentro de la sociedad en la que vivimos. He aquí el objetivo de este trabajo, permitir de manera selectiva y fiable la identificación de credenciales a través de internet.
El resultado buscado es hacer al individuo el único soberano de su propia identidad y permitirle la tarea de identificación. Existen una infinidad de aplicaciones a raíz de la identificación de credenciales en línea, como ejemplo, basta imaginar la posibilidad de realizar todo tipo de trámites gestionados por la administración pública de un país desde la comodidad de una casa.
Para lograr este objetivo, en este trabajo proponemos la remodelación del concepto de red de confianza. Dichas redes de confianza son un sistema ideado por Phil Zimmermann en 1992. Su finalidad era resolver el problema de la asociación clave-usuario que planteaba la criptografía de la época. La idea que vamos a plantear es la actualización de estas redes mediante el uso de la novedosa tecnología blockchain para así poder resolver gran parte de los problemas que surgían en el sistema tradicional.
“The cornerstone of any society is the individual.” The concept of society is intrinsic to the nature of the human being. Because we are all part of some social group, it is essential to answer the questions of who we are and what sets us apart from others. These questions gave rise to the genesis of the concept of Identity.People are the set of characteristics that identify them: their age, sex, height, behavior, place of residence, parents, affiliation to social groups ... All these traits represent the essence of our being and are what dictate what is our place in the society to which we belong. The possession of everything that forms our own identity is vital, from the use of a passport or national identity document when traveling to the use of a driving license to circulate in a vehicle, people are constantly using the credentials that they own. Today more than ever we have the need to manage our credentials to carry out all kinds of procedures within the society in which we live. Here is the objective of this work, to selectively allow the identification of credentials through the internet. The desired result is to make the individual the sole sovereign of their own identity and allow them the task of identification. There are an infinity of applications that make use of the identification of credentials online, as an example, just imagine the possibility of carrying out all kinds of procedures managed by the public administration of a country from the comfort of a home. To achieve this goal, in this work we propose the remodeling of the concept of Web Of Trust. Such Webs Of Trust are systems devised by Phil Zimmermann in 1992. Their purpose was to solve the key-user association problem posed by the cryptography of the time. The idea that we are going to propose is updating these webs by using the new technology blockchain in order to be able to solve many of the problems that arose in the traditional system.
