uauth

A fresh new approach to authentication, for individuals, businesses, schools, governments, cooperatives, and other organizations, built around subidentities instead of segmentation, and focused on privacy, security, and integrity

Subidentities

Users are long stretches of cryptographically-derived keys from a root identity, via Contexts

Each user + context, which is isomorphic to another user, can be granted Claims, by other users, if accepted

This is because claims are digital signatures, and users simply curate them, locally, in a passkey, or encrypted and cloud-stored

Users also have keys (signing keys, etc.) that make this all possible.

Principles

An organization is a collection of users with internal trust relationships, but zero trust for outsiders.

A user is trivially an organization, wherein they are the sole member, giving themselves complete and full trust.

Privacy is that outsiders have no say nor information on an organization's data and behavior

Security is that organizations are not corrupted, and all suborganizations, subsets that are also organizations, also have security.

Integrity is that organizations' trust relationships are fully honored, even if a user distrusts themselves.
