Enterprise blockchain identity management: a bibliometric content analysis of a nascent field.

Blockchain has emerged as an innovative solution for organisations’ data-sharing. This paper utilises bibliometric content analysis to identify key keywords (identity management, privacy, and security issues) related to developments in blockchain adoption. We analysed 105 studies using VOSviewer software, which revealed three significant clusters. Our focus was primarily on the cluster of identity management and data sharing. While the existing literature has addressed privacy and security concerns, our study revealed a major emphasis on privacy issues, with less attention being given to the security aspects associated with potential blockchain consideration. Our discussion delineated the major themes that have arisen, around identity management, data sharing, privacy, security, and consortium blockchain. This paper reveals the link between enterprise blockchain and identity management, including the underlying factors and their interrelationships that highlight the significance of knowledge worthy of attention. These findings have implications for advancing the adoption of enterprise blockchain in a variety of businesses and promote further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
