Detailed Plan
"SHiELD Virtual identity, will creating mass-scale adoption in Africa and on the Cardano blockchain"
The importance of identity can't be overstated. Without a valid form of ID, one can't own property, vote, receive government services, open a bank account, or find full-time employment. Without control over one's identity, it is easy to become invisible and be unable to participate in society simply because one can't prove that they are who they say they are. Most people around the world are trapped in a circle of poverty maturity because of the lack of proper identification, solution:
"Virtual Identity" A self-sovereign identity assures privacy and trust, where identity documents are secured, verified and endorsed by permissioned participants.
Everyone uses identity documents on a regular basis, which gets shared with third-parties without their explicit consent and stored at an unknown location. The use of identity documents can be experienced in our day-to-day lives. Companies such as government institutes, banks, credit agencies are considered to be the weakest point in the current identity management system as they are vulnerable to theft and hacking of data. Blockchain Identity management will help people to verify and authenticate their identity in real-time. The SHiELD Virtual identity comes with this possibility of eliminating the intermediaries while allowing citizens to manage identity on their own.
Both the United Nation and the World Bank recognize that digital identity can help transform The economical and political landscape Africa. Digital identity holds the power to unlock more inclusive digital economies, increase access to government services, and elevate political accountability.
The SHiELD Virtual identity is an essential part of the Shield Dapp. The goal of the shield virtual identity is to provide each individual within the continent of Africa and/or part of the African diaspora a free virtual identity. The African Union Shield Foundation plans on partnering up with the African Union and each member state, to make the virtual identity recognizable in all African Sovereign Nations. The Shield virtual identity will promote regional interoperability, making the flow of people and goods more easier, secure and effective.
What is the SHiELD Blockchain Protocol?
The SHIELD blockchain protocol provides a free hybrid public-private distributive decentralized database for all people and nations within the African Union. A free blockchain network that can be utilized to help the growth of five key sectors in each participating nation: social wellness, healthcare, identity, education, and legal documents. This free software and network will help drastically improve the flow of information, plus productivity of the individual, the government, and the private sector.
Description
Social-Wellness
The blockchain network hosts a community of applications "within the social wellness" part of the Dapp, that are designed to assist individuals, businesses, and governments operate more efficiently on a secure decentralized distributed Network. The social-Wellness section of the network will consist of interactive applications that the public will use on a constant basis. After an individual fully completes the virtual identity section of the blockchain and has received a verification, a AU.SHiELD iD number and a Social-Wellness account is automatically created along with the automatic activation of 3 additional social accounts.
Automatic Activations:
First, the social application will give each and every new activated SHIELD virtual identity account member a free crypto account. The Research Account Wallet (aka Ra Wallet) which will be used to payout individuals for research done with their personal information through our data mining research program by Quadee Kaper Solution. Each individual can choose to opt in or out of this program whenever he or she feels necessary.
Second, the social application will automatically activate a DMV, Customs and Border account for the home Nation State. The "SHiELD African Union Passport" or Saup.
Third, the social application will automatically activate a government & censor survey account. This account will be used by government officials to collect up-to-date data.
Health
AU.SHiELD Foundation SHIELD Database plans on creating a skeleton system that Healthcare Providers can build on. Allow doctors and hospitals easy access to patients' health records and cut out all the unnecessary repetitive intake work. AU.SHiELD Foundation Blockchain technology is expected to improve the African medical record management, the insurance claim process, accelerate clinical, biomedical research, advance biomedical, healthcare data ledger, and health research. These expectations are based on the key aspects of blockchain technology, such as decentralized management, immutable audit trail, data provenance, robustness, and improved security and privacy.
We aim to accomplish this goal through our effective SHIELD Desks and SHIELD Ambassador marketing programs.
Identity
"Virtual Identity" A self-sovereign identity assures privacy and trust, where identity documents are secured, verified and endorsed by permissioned participants.
The SHiELD Virtual Identity Program, SHiELD-iD, or "SVi
Is a free virtual identity storage and security for everyone in participating African nations. SVi protects citizens' virtual information free of charge and is accessible only to authorized organizations and government officials. The SHiELD-iD database is used to assist 911 operators, emergency workers, police, law enforcement officers, as well as Border and customs agencies in participating Nations States.
Education
A free database that all schools and education institutions would have access to upload their student information on a free distributors network. Students would have access to free courses and financial opportunity.
Virtual Diploma
Online Courses
Talent Management
Legal Documents
The potential to become the main source for transfer of legal documents within the continental borders of Africa is very possible and accomplishable especially with assistance from Blockchain. The physical uploads of documents onto the AU.SHIELD blockchain would gradually increase over time.
Data
Our partner Quadee Kaper Solution, plans on using the data within the AU.SHiELD blockchain network to conduct research that will assist individuals, corporations, NGO's, and government officials make better decisions about their security, health, virtual identity, education and legal possibilities. Our data program allows individuals to profit from the research that utilizes their data.
The African Union SHiELD Foundation & Quadee Kpar Solution's "Data Research Program" plans on compensating individuals for the use of personal information in our data research for governments, businesses and organizations. Each individual can choose to opt in or out of this program whenever he or she feels necessary. Individuals can view and grant access/permission for the use of personal information in certain research. Information about how to Grant permission, enter pacific research, opt out of research, check payout dates and history, or switch crypto payout accounts can all be found in the SHIELD App under Data Research Account. The Data Research Account or "DRA Cash" is the account used to track and payout individuals for research done with their personal information through our data mining research program.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
African Union SHIELD Foundation and Quadee Kpar Solution define success in a very unique way. Blockchain is a new concept and a new idea that takes the power out of the hands of institutions and places the power back into the hands of each individual.
The blockchain is only fully successful when it's up and running, and on track to on-boarding each and every individual in the continents of Africa and of the African diaspora, is loaded into the blockchain for research to better the health of the African diaspora and the health of our global community.
Majority of African nations do not have the basic virtual infrastructure to compete on a global scale. The virtual identity provided by the Shield blockchain will allow governments within the continent of Africa to access identity information with permission of the data owner, making the flow of traffic between countries and borders more seamless.
One of our key goals and strategy is to become the main source for virtual identity used by African governments, institutions, corporations, and individuals on the Continent. With the shield virtual identity through the third generation blockchain we aim to assist individuals within the continent of Africa to grab hold of their lives and take advantage of the basic needs and necessity that people within western nations take for granted.
