Provided are an identity management method, equipment, communication network and storage medium, which belong to the field of communication technology. The method includes: the first control plane node generates a first identity, a first public key, and a first private key for the user equipment; and signs the first identity and the first public key according to the second private key of the first control plane node , get the first transaction data; broadcast the first transaction data in the blockchain network, the first transaction data is used for the consensus calculation in the blockchain network, thereby registering the first transaction data with the blockchain network, realizing the user equipment The registration of identities can be applied to IoT scenarios, and the issued identities will not be restricted by the operator's management equipment, and can be opened to the management equipment of multiple operators in the blockchain network, without requiring a user equipment to Operators register multiple identities, avoiding unnecessary waste of management costs and saving identity resources.
