\end{center}

Identity authentication is a very important aspect of information security theory.

Usually, the problem that identity authentication is prone to is that the user name
and password are transmitted in the network in plaintext. The security is not
enough, and it is very vulnerable to replay attacks and dictionary attacks. Dynamic
passwords Although authentication is more secure, if there is a problem with the
time synchronization between the server and the client, the user will not be able
to login for a long time. Moreover, the password of the dynamic password is the
same within a period of time, and it is also vulnerable to replay attacks.
Therefore, a decentralized dynamic identity authentication system based on
blockchain isn�t proposed. By using a public key + nonce (integer number that
increases from 0) to sign in, It only solves the problem of over-centralized
identity authentication, but also solves the replay attack. Improved the security
of the identity authentication process.

\chapter{INTRODUCTION}
% Content for introduction chapter
With the rapid development of computer technology, the Internet has become an
integral part of people's lives. However, much of the information transmitted on
the Internet consists of sensitive data, including personal private information,
commercial data, and even confidential state information. These data naturally
attract hackers, making network information security a critical concern.

Identity authentication plays a vital role in network information security. It

involves the process of effectively determining the identity of the legal operator
in the computer network communication process. In various network systems, identity
verification is the primary problem to address and plays an essential role in
system functionality.

Currently, mainstream systems rely on methods like user name/password, dynamic

tokens, and mobile phone SMS verification for authentication. Each of these methods
has limitations. For instance, user name/password authentication is simple to
implement but insecure, as passwords are prone to interception and replay attacks.
Dynamic tokens offer higher security but fail when synchronization issues arise.
Similarly, SMS verification, although secure, is subject to network signal delays
and involves higher costs.

The emergence of blockchain technology, beginning with Bitcoin in 2008, has offered
a promising solution due to its decentralized nature and consensus mechanisms,
which make data in the blockchain tamper-proof. Combining blockchain technology
with identity authentication can resolve many limitations in traditional systems.

\section{Purpose of the Project}

The purpose of this project is to address the significant vulnerabilities of
traditional identity authentication systems, which rely heavily on centralized data
storage and static methods like username-password combinations or SMS-based
verification. These conventional systems suffer from weaknesses such as single
points of failure, lack of transparency, and susceptibility to attacks like replay,
dictionary, and man-in-the-middle attacks. The Decentralized Dynamic Identity
Authentication System seeks to eliminate these vulnerabilities by introducing a
blockchain-based framework for secure and efficient identity verification.

One of the primary objectives is to leverage the immutable and tamper-proof nature
of blockchain technology to store and verify identity credentials. By
decentralizing data storage, the system ensures that no single entity has complete
control over sensitive user information, significantly reducing the risk of data
breaches. This decentralized architecture also provides greater transparency and
traceability, as all authentication transactions are securely logged on the
blockchain.

Another key feature of the system is dynamic and time-bound authentication. Unlike
traditional static password methods, this system incorporates multi-factor
authentication (MFA) using time-sensitive tokens and cryptographic proofs. The use
of public keys combined with incrementing nonces ensures that each authentication
session is unique, preventing unauthorized access and effectively mitigating replay
attacks. This dynamic approach enhances both the security and flexibility of the
authentication process.

The system also focuses on improving user experience by simplifying the

authentication process without compromising security. Blockchain-generated keys
replace traditional OTPs and SMS-based codes, eliminating delays caused by poor
network signals or high operational costs associated with third-party verification
services. Furthermore, the project introduces secure file management capabilities,
where files uploaded by users are encrypted with blockchain-generated keys,
ensuring that only authorized individuals can access and decrypt the data.

Lastly, the project aims to deliver a scalable and cost-effective solution suitable
for a wide range of applications. Whether in the financial sector, healthcare,
government systems, or e-commerce.

\section{Scope of the Project}

The Decentralized Dynamic Identity Authentication System aims to revolutionize the

way identity verification is conducted by leveraging blockchain technology. Its
scope includes the development of a decentralized framework to securely manage
identity credentials, eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with centralized
systems. By using blockchain's immutable and transparent ledger, the system ensures
that user data remains secure and tamper-proof, accessible only by authorized
entities. A key feature of the system is its dynamic and time-bound authentication,
utilizing blockchain-generated keys and nonces to prevent replay and other common
attacks, significantly enhancing security.

Additionally, the project includes secure file storage and retrieval, where user
files are encrypted and stored, ensuring confidentiality and access control. The
system is designed to be user-friendly, enabling seamless registration, login, and
file management while maintaining high security standards. It is scalable and
flexible, capable of serving various industries such as finance, healthcare, e-
commerce, and government sectors, while handling large user volumes and frequent
authentication requests.

The project also emphasizes transparency and traceability by recording every

transaction on the blockchain, allowing for easy auditing and accountability. By
reducing dependency on third-party verification services, it offers a cost-
effective and sustainable solution. Overall, this project scope ensures a secure,
efficient, and versatile identity authentication system that addresses modern
security challenges across diverse applications.
\chapter{LITERATURE SURVEY}

\section{Related Work}
This literature survey underscores the evolution of identity authentication
mechanisms from traditional methods to blockchain-based solutions. It highlights
the limitations of existing approaches and emphasizes the need for a fully
decentralized system that ensures security, transparency, and dynamic
authentication. The proposed system builds upon these insights to address
vulnerabilities and provide a comprehensive solution to modern identity
verification challenges.
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Picture7.png}
\caption{Comparison of Identity Authentication Methods and Systems}
\label{fig:Picture7}
\end{table}
The use of blockchain technology has become a promising approach to solving the
challenges associated with traditional identity authentication systems. This
section reviews various approaches and highlights their contributions, limitations,
and relevance to the proposed decentralized dynamic identity authentication system.

1. Pan Wei et al. (Smart Contract-Based Identity Management)

Pan Wei and colleagues introduced an innovative identity management and
authentication model based on smart contracts. By embedding core identity
verification functionalities into smart contracts, the system ensures
decentralized, distributed, and transparent identity management. The use of smart
contracts removes the need for a central authority, thus promoting openness and
trust. However, this approach relies heavily on consortium blockchain structures.
Such a structure assumes that all consortium members are trustworthy, making it
susceptible to security breaches if any member is compromised. Moreover, consortium
blockchains provide less security compared to public blockchains, reducing the
reliability of the system under certain attack scenarios.

2. Zhang Lei et al. (Dynamic Password System with Blockchain Integration)

Zhang Lei et al. proposed a dynamic password identity authentication mechanism
integrated with blockchain technology. This approach uses the immutability and
transparency of blockchain to enhance security by integrating traditional dynamic
passwords. By embedding the authentication process into the blockchain, the system
resists replay attacks and ensures secure authentication. However, the design
retains certain centralized features, which create vulnerabilities when a single
node is compromised. As a result, while the approach improves security, it falls
short of achieving complete decentralization and zero-trust principles.

3. Traditional Methods of Authentication

Conventional identity verification systems, such as username-password combinations,
dynamic tokens, and SMS-based one-time passwords (OTPs), have been widely adopted
due to their simplicity. Despite their prevalence, these methods come with
significant security risks.

Password-based systems are highly vulnerable to replay attacks, interception, and

weak password issues.
Dynamic tokens rely on time synchronization between the client and server, leading
to failures in cases of desynchronization.
SMS OTPs, while more secure, face challenges such as network dependency, high
operational costs, and risks of interception.
These limitations make traditional methods unsuitable for environments requiring
advanced security, decentralization, and time-sensitive authentication.
4. The Proposed System
The decentralized dynamic identity authentication system aims to overcome the
shortcomings of both traditional and blockchain-integrated systems by leveraging
the core features of blockchain technology. The system ensures full
decentralization by using public-key cryptography combined with nonce-based tokens
for authentication. This approach eliminates the risks associated with centralized
nodes, providing tamper-proof authentication and resistance to replay attacks. The
blockchain's immutability further enhances transparency, making the system secure
against unauthorized modifications or breaches. Additionally, time-bound OTPs
generated dynamically for user authentication add an extra layer of security and
prevent misuse. While the system is more complex to implement, its benefits in
terms of security, scalability, and flexibility make it a robust solution for
modern authentication challenges.

\section{Existing System}

Identity authentication has long relied on traditional methods such as username-

password combinations, dynamic tokens, and SMS-based one-time passwords (OTPs).
These systems, while widely used, have significant limitations that expose them to
modern security vulnerabilities. For instance, username-password systems are prone
to interception and replay attacks, especially when passwords are transmitted in
plaintext or stored on centralized servers. The simplicity of passwords often leads
to weak combinations, increasing the likelihood of unauthorized access.
Additionally, centralized storage of credentials creates a single point of failure,
making these systems highly susceptible to breaches.

Dynamic token systems offer improved security by introducing time-sensitive,

changing passwords. These tokens, often generated through hardware devices or
mobile applications, synchronize with a central server. While this method reduces
the risks of static credentials, it introduces its own challenges, including
dependency on accurate time synchronization. A failure in synchronization renders
tokens unusable, locking out legitimate users. Similarly, SMS-based OTP systems
provide an additional layer of security by sending a temporary password to the
user�s mobile device. However, these systems are network-dependent and vulnerable
to interception through SIM swapping or man-in-the-middle attacks. They also incur
higher operational costs, especially when scaled for large user bases.

To address these limitations, blockchain technology has emerged as a potential

solution. Pan Wei et al. proposed a smart contract-based identity authentication
system, leveraging blockchain�s transparency and decentralization. This system
removes the need for a central authority by embedding authentication logic into
smart contracts. However, its reliance on consortium chains introduces trust
issues, as these chains require trustworthy participants. If any member is
compromised, the security of the entire system is at risk. Similarly, Zhang Lei et
al. explored a dynamic password system integrated with blockchain. While this
approach enhances security by leveraging blockchain�s immutable ledger to prevent
replay attacks, it retains some centralized elements, leaving it vulnerable to
single-node failures.

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Picture3.png}
\caption{Table of already existing features and their types}
\label{fig:Picture3}
\end{table}

These existing systems highlight the trade-offs between usability, security, and
decentralization. Traditional methods, though widely adopted, lack the robustness
required to handle modern security threats. Blockchain-based solutions, while
promising, need further refinement to achieve complete decentralization and address
vulnerabilities related to partial centralization. These limitations form the
foundation for the development of the proposed decentralized dynamic identity
authentication system, which aims to combine the strengths of blockchain with
nonce-based mechanisms for secure, time-sensitive, and tamper-proof identity
verification.

\section*{Applications}

\section{System Modules}

The proposed decentralized dynamic identity authentication system consists of three

main modules: User Module, Blockchain Module, and Server Module. Each module plays
a critical role in ensuring the security, functionality, and reliability of the
system.

\subsection{User Module}

The User Module allows individuals to interact with the system securely, including
registration, login, and file management. The functionalities of the User Module
include:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Registration:} Users provide their details during registration.
The system generates a unique blockchain key, ensuring enhanced security by

later used during login.
\item \textbf{Login:} Upon login, the user�s authentication request is sent to
the server. The server verifies their credentials with the blockchain. Once
verified, an OTP valid for 15 seconds is sent to the user for time-sensitive and
dynamic authentication.
\item \textbf{File Upload and Encryption:} Users can upload files to the
server. The files are encrypted using the user�s blockchain key and stored securely
on the server.
\item \textbf{File Decryption and Access:} Users can request the decryption key
for securely downloading and accessing their files when required.

terminate sessions, ensuring user actions remain protected.
\end{itemize}

This module ensures that all interactions by the user, including authentication and
file management, are secure, time-sensitive, and efficient.

\subsection{Blockchain Module}

The Blockchain Module manages the decentralized identity and authentication aspects
of the system. Its main functions include:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Key Generation:} When a registration request is received, the
blockchain generates a unique key and sends it to the user via email. This ensures
that each user has a secure and unique identity within the system.
\item \textbf{Authentication:} The blockchain validates whether the user
possesses a valid key when the server sends an authentication request. It responds
with the appropriate authentication status.
\item \textbf{Transparency and Security:} The blockchain maintains an immutable
log of all transactions, ensuring accountability and traceability.
\item \textbf{Session Management:} Active sessions are securely monitored and
can be terminated as needed to maintain system integrity.
\end{itemize}

This module ensures decentralized and tamper-proof identity authentication while

maintaining transparency and accountability.

\subsection{Server Module}

The Server Module acts as a bridge between the user and the blockchain,
facilitating secure and efficient communication. Its key responsibilities include:
\begin{itemize}
 \item \textbf{Request Handling:} The server handles all user requests,
including login, file uploads, and key verification. It communicates with the
blockchain to authenticate user credentials.

\chapter{TESTING}
\section*{Testing}

Testing is a critical phase in the software development lifecycle, aimed at

ensuring the functionality, reliability, and security of the system. The following
testing methodologies were applied to the decentralized dynamic identity
authentication system:

\subsection*{1. Unit Testing}

Each module, such as the User Module, Blockchain Module, and Server Module, was
tested individually. The focus was on verifying the correctness of specific
functionalities like registration, authentication, and secure file storage.

\subsection*{2. Integration Testing}

Integration testing ensured the seamless interaction between different modules. For
example, the User Module was integrated with the Blockchain Module to validate
authentication using blockchain keys and OTPs.

\subsection*{3. Functional Testing}

This testing validated that all system functionalities, such as registration,
login, OTP generation, file upload, and decryption, worked as expected. Test cases
were prepared to cover every functional requirement.

\subsection*{4. Security Testing}

Special emphasis was placed on testing the system's ability to resist security
threats, including replay attacks, data tampering, and unauthorized access.
Blockchain�s immutability and cryptographic features were rigorously tested.

\subsection*{5. Performance Testing}

The system was tested under various loads to evaluate its performance. This
included measuring response times for authentication and the ability to handle
multiple concurrent user requests efficiently.

\subsection*{6. Validation Testing}

Validation testing ensured that the system met the project�s objectives and
complied with the specified requirements. It confirmed that the system provides
secure, decentralized, and dynamic identity authentication.

\subsection{Test Cases}
Step 1) UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE CODE
 The first thing a tester will often do is learn and understand the source
code of the application. Since white box testing involves the testing of the inner
workings of an application, the tester must be very knowledgeable in the
programming languages used in the applications they are testing. Also, the testing
person must be highly aware of secure coding practices. Security is often one of
the primary objectives of testing software. The tester should be able to find
security issues and prevent attacks from hackers and naive users who might inject
malicious code into the application either knowingly or unknowingly.

Step 2) CREATE TEST CASES AND EXECUTE

The second basic step to white box testing involves testing the application�s
source code for proper flow and structure. One way is by writing more code to test
the application�s source code. The tester will develop little tests for each
process or series of processes in the application. This method requires that the
tester must have intimate knowledge of the code and is often done by the developer.
Other methods include manual testing, trial and error testing and the use of
testing tools as we will explain further on in this article.

Test case 1

The test case 1 tests the login of admin�s. The passwords and username is given if
the correct password and usernames are entered the login will be successful. If any
wrong in passwords and username the login will be denied.

credentials and data, posing a significant risk for end-users.

\chapter{CONCLUSION}
\section{Conclusion}

Aiming at the vulnerabilities and shortcomings that are easy to appear in

traditional identity verification (account/password, dynamic password, SMS
verification), as well as the smart contract-based identity management and
authentication model in the latest research�And the design of a dynamic password
identity authentication system based on blockchain technology. Insufficient
decentralization and inability to resist replay attacks in, combined with the
advantages of the above-mentioned identity verification scheme, a blockchain-based
decentralized dynamic identity authentication system is proposed. Use the non-
tamperable characteristics of the data in the blockchain to save important public
key and nonce array information, and then use the combination of public key + nonce
to achieve that the signature required for each identity verification is different,
thereby solving the replay attack In the end, the identity verification is
completed through the verification of the entire network nodes. The system can not
only achieve the different token required each time by issuing nonce+1, but also
achieve a limited number of token usage by signing nonce+n The function of n.
Compared with the traditional identity authentication system, this system greatly
improves the security in the identity verification process and also increases the
flexibility of the identity authentication system.
The project successfully demonstrates the integration of blockchain technology into
a secure identity management and authentication system, addressing critical
concerns such as data integrity, decentralization, and user privacy. By leveraging
the inherent features of blockchain, including immutability and transparency, the
system ensures that sensitive user information and authentication processes are
safeguarded against unauthorized access and malicious attacks. The dynamic
generation of blockchain keys and time-sensitive OTPs further strengthens the
security framework, ensuring robust, real-time verification mechanisms.

This project emphasizes user-centric design by providing functionalities such as

secure login, file upload with encryption, and seamless retrieval of files using
decryption keys, all backed by blockchain. The server module plays a pivotal role
in mediating between users and the blockchain, ensuring smooth communication and
efficient authentication. Additionally, the decentralized architecture eliminates
the need for a central authority, making the system resilient to single points of
failure and enhancing trust among users.

The implementation demonstrates the scalability and adaptability of blockchain in

various use cases, showcasing its potential to transform identity management and
secure file storage. By maintaining an immutable log of transactions and ensuring
strict access control, the system not only improves security but also enhances
accountability and traceability.

In conclusion, this project illustrates a practical application of blockchain

technology in enhancing security and trust in digital systems. It serves as a
foundation for further innovations, such as integrating advanced consensus
algorithms, expanding to multi-user environments, and incorporating AI-based
anomaly detection for proactive security measures. The developed system is a
