@openlink,

Yep!

Creating user-controlled profile documents that streamline the decoupling of #identity, #identification, #authentication, #authorization, and #dataspaces (databases, knowledge graphs, and other document collections).

Crucial in the age of #AI!

This is what user-controlled identity, preferences, and profile information look like—entirely built on existing open standards to address the longstanding challenge of online identity authenticity.

New edition of my weekly #newsletter is out! This week’s focus is Verifiable #Identity & Personal Profile Pages using:

1. #Hyperlink-based Entity Naming
2. Profile-oriented Knowledge Graphs
3. Loose coupling with #AI Agents

@chrismessina @dontpanic @Mastodon,

Finally cracked it. Here's how.

Over here I was pointing to https://www.threads.net/@kidehen (which does resolve) rather than https://threads.net/@kidehen.

That was it, bar confusion introduced by caching in my particular #Chrome instance.

This is a big move by #Threads re #identity authenticity, especially in regards to the burgeoning #CreatorEconomy (where the next major battle for curators is about to break out).

Here's the @oplyouid generated Link In Bio profile document used in my #RelAuthMe demonstration.

That's a single profile doc, and associated #Identity, that's under my control and usable for authentication using #OAuth.

@atomicpoet @youid Here's an explainer post I published recently about this most important approach to #Identity #Authenticity that scales across the #Internet, #Web, and #Fediverse.

There are approx. 5.25 billion+ people on the internet (and growing). These numbers also highlight importance of the ubiquitous Transport Layer Security (#TLS) protocol as critical infrastructure for solving #identity authenticity challenges afflicting Internet & Web users.

I shed some simplified light on the workings of this protocol in a new blog post that also doubles as a #ChatGPT, #Mermaid, and #KnowledgeGraph utility showcase.

@BillKimler,

Yes, but you can still be in control via a simple trick:

Own your #identity thereby demoting all the #SurveillanceCapitalism captures to mere guesstimates.

Don't let any technology vendor hoodwink you out of this fundamental power that's totally yours to control.

@tilvids @simon.caine_channel,

Great presentation about the fundamental issues afflicting data access and control across the #Web and #Internet.

@openlink @youid Wonderful!

What is this about?

User-controlled self-sovereign #identity (#SSI) that scales to both the #Internet & #Web.

@youid generates:

[1] Public & Private Credentials that can be reconciled as part of an extended #TLS handshake

[2] An #HTML-based profile doc comprising verifiable credentials -- what's also referred to as a Link In Bio doc

More to come..

@meneer,

An individual doesn't need a CA in the mix to attain trust, that's required on the backend if you are providing e-commerce (e.g., Amazon.com etc).

An individual can use a #ZeroTrust algorithm as the basis for establishing trust with family, groups etc..

That's what #DPKI solves for, via #X509, #TLS, and machine-computable entity relationship type semantics.

These issues have been deeply thought through over the years. 😀

@aniltj,

#LinkedData is essential to user-controlled #Identity #Authenticity and #Privacy.

I can demonstrate that with ease, and debate (with live examples) any #BigTech vendor rep that would like to covertly claim otherwise.

#DPKI is real, and it works for users seeking full control over their identity and privacy. It doesn't work for vendors seeking to exploit users covertly via the "bit of privacy" approach!

@darnell,

An #X509 certificate generated by @youid can be used for sending self-signed and/or encrypted #email messages. In addition, it adds another message attribute for creating powerful email filters that reduce #phishing vulnerability.

Historically, generating and maintaining certificates has been too challenging for end-users -- leaving a festering vulnerability that only gets worse as #Internet & #Web connectivity grows.

@rmrfslashbin,

Somewhat in that public and private credentials are cross-referenced.

In the case of #NetIDTLS (what I write about), an #X509 certificate holds private credentials cross-referenced to public equivalents by looking-up a #Hyperlink that serves as a certificate subject identifier.

Basically, it's all based on existing open standards 😀

/cc @atomicpoet @youid

#NetID #HTTPS #TLS #WebID #YouID

@kidehen @atomicpoet @youid This is a very interesting idea!

For email however, would it be wiser if someone simply used a free forwarding alias (I know Google Domains provides up to 100 per domain) under their control instead of using #YouID email address‽

That said, we do need to take back more control of our digital lives online!

@youid @Mastodon Regarding verification of claims in my profile doc, here's how that objective is achieved via #HTTPS using a custom handshake.

https://tinyurl.com/2p923xap

Custom Handshake?
Credentials in my public profile doc are looked-up and matched to equivalents in my locally held #X509 cert, following completion of the conventional handshake.

We are finalizing a new release of our @youid browser extension that includes a major new #LinkInBio feature that helps users acquire more control over their digital profile and associated #Identity #Authenticity.

Items contained in the ZIP bundle generated by #YouID include: an #HTML based profile doc, #PKCS12 credentials bundle, #vCard, #QRCode, etc.

@ben,
Here’s what a user has to do:

1. Copy a #SHA hash of #PublicKey from what #YouID outputs (via a #html doc) to their @Mastodon profile page

2. Download #PKCS12 doc

3. Double click on downloaded #PKCS12 and leave OS #UI/#UX to handle credentials storage to its native credentials store (e.g., #macos #keychain).

1-3 works on any modern #OS since they all understand what a #PKCS12 file management.

Personally, I don’t believe these steps are beyond the capabilities of end-users.

@ben ,
It isn’t more complicated if there’s a user-friendly solution delivered as an app or browser extension for:

1. Generating Certificate

2. Extracting #PublicKey hash in copy & paste friendly form

3. Packaging credentials in a #PKCS12 file (understood by all modern operating systems)

That’s exactly what our #YouID browser extension offers 😀
