    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>Traditional identity management systems are vulnerable to critical issues, such as privacy breaches and single points of failure, which compromise the security and integrity of user information. These centralized mod-els require the disclosure of sensitive data to third parties, exposing users to heightened risks. To address these challenges and the emerging threat of quantum computing, this paper proposes a novel blockchain-based identity management architecture that employs blockchain’s decentralized, immutable ledger to eliminate cen-tralized vulnerabilities, while zk-STARKs enable quantum-resistant, privacy-preserving identity verification without revealing sensitive information. The framework also integrates InterPlanetary File System protocol for storing users data. This architecture establishes a user-centric, decentralized model that is resilient to both classical and quantum threats, and enhances privacy.</jats:p>
