Your style. Fully tune your authentication experience without the effort.

universal login for applications and services

Login should do more, but you shouldn't have to make it.

We get it: authentication is one of the first boxes to check when building a website or application. It’s built to get the job done, and then it slowly becomes legacy code that no one wants to touch.

Today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, diverse and context-specific UX needs, and user privacy concerns all require more from traditional authentication. NuID addresses these challenges with a platform that grows and adapts to the new demands of digital identity.

By building with NuID, you ensure your applications and services remain embedded in modern cryptographic best practices.

Because that's what login should do.

Milan is the fashion capital of the world. In the mid-2000s, aspiring models created digital comp cards. A .wmv file bearing a model's name was not uncommon. Agencies would send these to scouts via email or burn them onto CDs. could be a 90-second clip of a model walking, posing, or performing a monologue. Many such files were uploaded to free hosting services like RapidShare or MegaUpload, only to be lost when those sites were raided or shut down.

If this is true, is a relic of a very specific moment: the cusp of the HD revolution, when digital cameras were cheap but not good, and when sharing a video meant accepting that it would look like a mosaic of pixels. Kristina Milan.wmv

Files masked as a video container (e.g., Kristina_Milan.wmv.exe ) which deploy malware once executed by the user. Agencies would send these to scouts via email

Between 2004 and 2007, "vlogging" was a fringe activity. Before YouTube’s rise (Google acquired it in late 2006), people hosted their own videos on GeoCities, Angelfire, or Tripod. A plausible origin for is a personal travel diary. Imagine a young woman, perhaps an exchange student or a tourist, capturing her trip to the Duomo di Milano or the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The file would have been shared via a link on a blog titled "Kristina’s European Summer."

A better model of authentication

At NuID's core is an established cryptographic method to verify that a user can produce a secret value, such as a password or private key, without revealing that secret to anyone. Ever.

Instead of sharing this secret with an authenticating server, a cryptographic zero knowledge proof of the secret is generated on the client device. The proof is used to verify that the user input the correct authentication secret, without any private authentication data leaving their device.

Combining this capability with emerging distributed ledger technologies removes the need for users to trust anyone with their passwords and other authentication secrets, giving them ownership over their authentication credentials and, eventually, their digital representation across the web.

Built for decentralized identity

We believe the next wave of technological transformation will bring persistent, privacy-forward digital identity to the web, which will simplify and de-risk the flow of information over our public and private networks.

NuID's open authentication protocol and API were designed to transition seamlessly between web2, web3, and all the webs before and after that. And authentication is only the beginning.

NuID is building a foundation for a decentralized identity ecosystem that goes beyond just login. Check out the NuID White PaperKristina Milan.wmv to learn about the future of digital identity, or get in touch to discuss with our team.

Help us help the web

Users—people—want more privacy, transparency, and agency in how their online data is managed. In other words, we need to retrofit the internet with a sound identity layer.
