Frequent cases of personal data leakage has brought back into focus the security issues with different KYC programs. A consumer is expected to provide his personal identity for authentication by different agencies, which is known as KYC, but there is no restriction on how much data to be shared with the agencies needing the KYC. Consumer should have full control over where and how much data is being used by the third parties. We can use a public Blockchain based solution to overcome all these.
The biggest challange that was encountered was of integerating the blockchain with android application and firebase database. Since we did not use any previousy built API, the job was completely to us to make the app work as we wanted to.
