Design requirement R4.2: Validity checks

If banks do not comply with the regulations, there can be heavy fines, so it is important to establish trust in the KYC process. The documents must be tamper-proof, so a further requirement is that validity checks of these documents are feasible.

Source paper

This design requirement is proposed by Designing a Framework for Digital KYC Processes Built on Blockchain-Based Self-Sovereign Identity (Vincent Schlatt, Johannes Sedlmeir, Simon Feulner, Nils Urbach, 2022).

Objective 4 - Trust

A key goal of banks is to make eKYC documents reusable in registrations of a customer at different banks, requiring acceptance of KYC documents attested by other banks, validity checks, and authenticity checks.

Designing a Framework for Digital KYC Processes Built on Blockchain-Based Self-Sovereign Identity

The paper derives six design objectives (16 sub-requirements) for an SSI-based eKYC framework and demonstrates how blockchain-based self-sovereign identity can solve KYC challenges without violating data-protection regulation, deriving three nascent design principles that theorize blockchain's role for SSI: use blockchain only for public data, anticipate an ecosystem of various ledgers, and enable decentralization at the edge.
