Identity is a concept that has become necessary with the development of civilization and population growth since it was given meaning when the state needed to mobilize its people. Identification has only become important, especially in modern societies, which are individualized or atomized, industrialized and urbanized. Since the development and integration of IT technology, personal information can contain so many things that it is possible to confuse whether the identity is an individual or whether an individual is a person or an identity. Increasingly, authentication that proves who the individual to which certain information points is also becomes important. In this case, the monopoly or misuse of personal information becomes a big problem. Even the freedom and democracy enjoyed by modern people are in danger of collapsing if we imagine an extreme case. Blockchain technology advocates decentralization. Users themselves can enable sovereign exercise. Distributed ID pays attention to this. That is, any individual is sought as a way to restore data sovereignty, protect personal information, and overcome the limitations of authentication memory. A brief look at the international legislative trend, many countries, recognizing this utility, are paying attention to distributed identity verification. This article also sheds light on the mobile driver's license and the identification system based on distributed identification in each country on the various usefulness of distributed identification. However, I would like to shed light on how to apply it to the company law and the capital market law.

As corporations have grown in size, the alienation of shareholders has been pointed out as a problem. Distributed ID can be a solution. Possibility of use for many other things is reviewed.
