Identity Creation
Identity on ENTIFY begins with a simple, spoken and autographed declaration - an affidavit. This becomes your sovereign identity root: a living declaration bound to your physical presence. No forms, no accounts, no registration—just a direct, personal expression of who you are. From this root, your ENTIFY Name (personal private trust name), authentication keys, and ownership proofs are generated. This process is entirely under your control.
Conscious Biometric Cryptography
The autograph in ENTIFY is a living signature, created by writing on the ENTIFONE. This is practiced to capture the unique micromovements and style of the individual. This autograph is distinct from traditional biometrics, yet intrinsically tied to them, linking the person’s physical presence, motion patterns, and identity.
It can be used to authenticate actions within the ENTIFY ecosystem, such as accessing the identity vault, signing transactions, or interacting with the meshnet. Most importantly, it gives power to the affidavit, transforming it into a dynamic, verifiable proof of identity. The autograph acts as a cryptographic signature, ensuring that every action is uniquely bound to the individual, reinforcing consent, authority, and self-sovereignty across all ENTIFY systems.
Affidavit and KYC
At the heart of ENTIFY is the lawful affidavit, a self-issued declaration of life, identity, and authority. This affidavit establishes your sovereign identity, creates a private trust for all assets, and asserts control over your legal name in all forms. It is the foundational proof of your existence and authority within the ENTIFY network.
In contrast, KYC (Know Your Customer) information is typically required by banks and regulators to confirm legal identities. Within ENTIFY, the KYC data is anchored to the affidavit and stored securely, giving the individual full authority and control over access. No third party—including ENTIFY—can access your KYC data without your explicit consent, ensuring privacy, anonymity, and legal compliance simultaneously. This dual structure allows ENTIFY to satisfy regulatory requirements while protecting the sovereign rights of the user.
Identity Vault
The Identity Vault is the secure digital foundation of your ENTIFY identity. It stores your affidavit, biometric data, cryptographic autograph, and personal records, all under your exclusive control. The vault is implemented as a Solana-based wallet, while the ENTICARD and ENTIFONE system serve as the keys, giving you seamless access to authenticate your identity, authorize actions, and securely interact with banking and communication services.
This setup ensures that your identity is fully private, self-sovereign, and legally anchored, while remaining compatible with current blockchain infrastructure. In the long term, the vault will migrate onto the ENTIFY proofless meshnet blockchain, further decentralizing control and integrating identity storage with the network’s own secure ecosystem.
Zero Knowledge Verification
ENTIFY uses zero-knowledge verification to let you prove facts about yourself without exposing who you are or revealing any data. You can demonstrate that you control your identity, that your biometric signature matches, that your device is genuine, or that you are the same person as before—while keeping all underlying information private. Verification is instant, offline, and cryptographically secured. It provides trust for systems and freedom for individuals, enabling anonymous access while maintaining personal sovereignty.
Example: A website asks: “Are you over 18?”
ENTIFY answers: Yes
—but does not reveal your date of birth, name, or identity.
This is identity without exposure.
Alternative to the Global Digital ID
As governments roll out mandatory digital identity systems, ENTIFY provides a private alternative. Your state-issued ID is accepted only once for verification, then sealed within your private trust and identity vault—never used again in daily life. From that point forward, you operate through a secure, legally recognised proxy name and address within the ENTIFY framework, allowing you to interface with global systems when required while keeping your true identity protected, inaccessible, and outside the reach of digital-ID surveillance, credit score and state overreach.
Operating System
All ENTIFY identities operate within the ENTIFY OS, a lightweight, decentralised operating environment that runs across ENTICARDS, ENTIFONES, and ENTITAGS. The OS manages your Vault, identity proofs, meshnet communications, and device interactions in a unified way. It is designed to operate offline, survive outages, and work across low-power hardware. Through the ENTIFY OS, your identity becomes portable, functional, and secure—fully under your control at all times, with no dependency on external authorities or infrastructures.
The OS treats your identity as the root layer—
not your phone number, not your SIM, not your IP address,
and definitely not a government-issued digital ID.
