We give machines identity to enable service to identify them before they connect. We are a cryptographic identity broker and we believe cybersecurity is an function of identity - that of machines.
In a social construct, security can not emerge from relative strength or technological superiority between individuals. It is the accountability of individuals that ensures the strong protects the weak, instead of abusing them. Like society, the Internet is a social construct. The key to making it a secure environment is accountability.
One of the most fundamental ingredients in social relations is accountability - the process by which we are responsible for our own actions. We firmly believe that extending that accountability into the online would lay the ground for unprecedented stability and growth - an Internet like the one we imagine
"Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships. When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective." (Stephen R. Covey)
Accountability is not only responsibility - it is also recognition. When we have it, we can build trust. That's how we think the Internet should be
Privacy is an important asset of each individual - the power to hold a wild-card within the rules of the game. Peeping, disrespecting privacy is cheating - robbing fellows from this power - deliberately trying to make them lesser opponents. We believe one should not need to protect one's privacy online - everybody else should go out of their way to make sure it is respected
To reconcile these seemingly contradictory concepts (accountability, privacy, even anonymity) we need a new identity model - one that gives identity to everything and preserves the chain of accountability
"Take a step back and look at the Internet differently: it is not you who connects to websites, your computer does that when instructed by your clicks, touches, swipes or voice commands. Cybercriminals do not exploit online accounts, computers do, instructed by code written by those criminals. Devices, are the common denominator over the internet - authenticating your device prevents criminals from accessing your account, because devices commanded by anybody else but you, can be denied connection - it's the perfect bottleneck to choke cybercrime - the perfect place to enable accountability
Identity is a funny thing, it is not a name or an address, but rather what they point to ... An unbreakable perimeter where all that which is YOU, is contained. In cyberspace, this is your digital projection - the set of all online services that hold information on you together with the information they hold. We call it your digital self and used properly, it needs no exchange of personal information to ensure accountability - the prime leverage of upstanding citizens of the Internet
8 digital you
