Decentralized Identity and Access Control

The field of decentralized identity and access control is moving towards greater emphasis on governance, scalability, and privacy. Researchers are exploring new approaches to manage and enforce authorizations in decentralized identifier systems, leveraging technologies such as blockchain and smart contracts. Notable papers include:

  • The paper on CRDT-Based Game State Synchronization in Peer-to-Peer VR, which introduces a prototype for real-time collaboration in shared virtual environments, highlighting the potential of decentralized architectures.
  • The paper on NickPay, an Auditable, Privacy-Preserving, Nickname-Based Payment System, which presents a novel payment system built on top of the Ethereum blockchain platform, offering a strong level of privacy and audibility.
