YouID
The magic of being you.
Verifiable identity, at Web and Internet scale, controlled entirely by you.
YouID is a simple — but powerful — system for generating, managing, and controlling Web- and Internet-scale verifiable identity that’s totally controlled by you. It makes you the master curator of your profile data and associated content indexes, without compromising your privacy.
Your social media and other online profiles aren’t under your full control.#
Increasingly, third parties are making decisions, theoretically on your behalf, based on their perception of you.
The Solution
An industry standards-compliant application that enables you to issue your own identity card, in a manner that scales to both the World Wide Web and the Internet.
Benefits#
- Digitally identify yourself to email recipients, while enabling them to send you encrypted email that will only be readable by you.
- Eradicate spam and take full control over your email inboxes.
- Create your own rules for controlling access to resources — images, music, contacts, profile documents and more — that you share on the Web or Internet.

Where YouID sits#
YouID is the Identity & Trust layer of OpenLink’s architecture: cryptographically verifiable identity usable with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure (DPKI), separating identity, identification, authentication and authorization instead of conflating them.
That same foundation carries cryptographically verifiable relationships, including On-Behalf-Of delegation — which is what lets an AI Agent demonstrate that it acts with the authority of a human, an organization, or another Agent.
Be verifiably you#
Issue your own identity card, and decide for yourself who gets to read what.
