Abstract
The rise of blockchain technology has sparked interest in decentralized identity management (DIdM). However, DIdM's interdisciplinary nature has led to a fragmented understanding. We propose a “Task Structure-Technological Properties-Fit” framework to clarify the application of DIdM across tasks and contexts. We conducted a comprehensive review of 149 DIdM papers to define task structure (task goals and stakeholder values), task goals (identity value creation and value maintenance), stakeholders (users, service providers, identity issuers, regulators, and infrastructure builders), and DIdM properties (interoperability and self-sovereignty). We explored how these elements could align and then highlight research gaps and present a DIdM research agenda.
