The UIID (Universal Integrated Identity Decoupled) system is a foundational technology designed to end the privacy trade-off of the modern internet. It puts you, the user, in absolute, non-negotiable control of your entire digital identity.
UIID is not just a better way to log in; it is framed as the core pillar of Web4—a new, user-centric internet built on trust, privacy, and personal control.
For decades, the internet forced a tough choice: you could participate globally, but you had to surrender ownership of your digital self.
Endless Risk: Your personal information is scattered across thousands of corporate servers, making them large, attractive targets for hackers and data breaches.
Password Vulnerability: Passwords are the single weakest link, easily forgotten, guessed, or stolen through phishing attacks.
You Are the Product: Business models are often based on tracking, linking, and monetizing your private information and browsing habits.
UIID implements Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), which represents an irreversible transfer of power back to the individual.
You Are the Owner: Your digital identity is stored securely in your private Identity Vault (your digital wallet), never on a central corporate server.
Existential Portability: Your Core ID, credentials, and reputation proofs are no longer locked into any single platform. You can take them with you across services, platforms, and even into future virtual worlds without starting from scratch.
Privacy-Sanitized DLT: UIID uses Decentralized Ledger Technology (DLT) only as a secure, public notary register to confirm the unique existence and status of your ID. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is ever stored on the public ledger.
Component | What it is | How it Protects You |
|---|---|---|
Identity Vault | Your secure, personal application on your device. It is your "Digital Soul." | Stores the cryptographic keys for your Core ID and all digital proofs (Verifiable Credentials), ensuring they never leave your control. |
Decoupled Architecture | The separation between your high-trust root identity and your everyday online activity. | Ensures third parties cannot cryptographically link your anonymous online actions back to your real-world identity. |
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) | An advanced mathematical technique. | Allows you to prove a fact (e.g., "I am over 18") without revealing the underlying source data (your birth date, name, etc.). |
