| TITLE | KYC-Chain: Automated and Decentralized KYC |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Know Your Customer (KYC) processes are essential for verifying user identities in modern financial systems, yet traditional approaches rely heavily on centralized infrastructures and manual validation procedures. These limitations often lead to increased processing time, higher operational costs, and greater exposure to data security risks. Additionally, users are required to repeatedly submit the same sensitive information across multiple institutions, resulting in inefficiency and reduced user convenience. This paper introduces KYC-CHAIN, a blockchain-enabled decentralized framework designed to enhance the efficiency and security of KYC operations. The proposed system utilizes distributed ledger technology to maintain tamper-resistant records while eliminating dependence on centralized storage. Smart contracts are employed to automate verification workflows and enforce controlled access to user data. Experimental observations indicate that the system significantly reduces verification time and minimizes redundant data submissions. Overall, the framework offers a scalable, secure, and user-focused solution for modern digital identity management. |
