The Vision: Identity as a human right. Privacy as the default. Trust without surveillance. UIP reimagines digital identity from first principles—putting people first, technology second.

​
Philosophy

UIP is built on three core principles that guide every decision, feature, and line of code:

Identity as Human Right

Your identity belongs to you—not to corporations, not to platforms, not to governments. UIP ensures every person can prove who they are without asking permission.

Protocol Not Platform

We’re building open infrastructure, not a walled garden. UIP is a protocol that anyone can build on, integrate with, and extend—forever.

Biometrics Without Surveillance

Biometric technology can empower people or enslave them. UIP proves it’s possible to use biometrics for security while preserving privacy.

​
Endless Possibilities

UIP isn’t just for logging in or signing documents. It’s foundational infrastructure for any system that requires trust, identity, or proof of human action.
Urban Infrastructure for All
  • Public Services: Access government services with one identity—voting, benefits, permits, licenses
  • Transportation: Biometric ticketing across metro, bus, train, rideshare
  • Community Engagement: Verified participation in local governance and town halls
  • Digital Inclusion: Give every resident a verified identity, regardless of documentation status
Imagine a city where you can vote, ride public transit, access healthcare, and participate in community decisions—all with your biometric identity. No physical cards, no multiple logins, no bureaucracy.

Technical Architecture

UIP is built on a distributed architecture where users maintain complete control over their identity while enabling businesses to verify and interact with them securely.
1

User Identity Layer

Users create a self-sovereign identity through the UIP mobile app with government ID verification (powered by Didit) and biometric enrollment. Identity data stays on device.
2

Business Integration Layer

Businesses integrate UIP APIs to request authentication, signatures, or send messages to users. Simple REST APIs, comprehensive SDKs.
3

Verification Layer

UIP facilitates the secure exchange between businesses and users, maintaining cryptographic proof without storing personal data. Zero-knowledge architecture.
4

Audit Layer

Every action generates an immutable audit record accessible via reference IDs. Permanent proof of authentication, signatures, and messages.

​
Privacy & Security

Self-Sovereign Identity

Users have complete control over their identity. They decide when and how to share information, and can revoke access at any time.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

UIP never stores or has access to your private keys or biometric data. We facilitate verification without seeing personal information.

Selective Disclosure

Users can choose what information to share. For example, age verification returns only yes/no without revealing birth date.

Cryptographic Proof

Every action is cryptographically signed, providing mathematical proof of identity without centralized verification.

Liveness Detection

Advanced anti-spoofing technology prevents attacks using photos, videos, or masks. Real humans only.

Local Biometric Processing

Biometric data processed entirely on device using Secure Enclave (iOS) or Trusted Execution Environment (Android). Never transmitted.

End-to-End Encryption

Messages encrypted client-to-client with no intermediate decryption. Not even UIP can read your messages.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action creates a permanent, tamper-proof record. Perfect for compliance and legal requirements.

​
The Vision

We believe identity should be:
One identity that works everywhere—across apps, services, countries, and platforms. No more creating accounts, remembering passwords, or managing credentials.
You own your identity, and you can take it anywhere. Switch platforms, move countries, change devices—your identity follows you.
Your biometric data never leaves your device. Your personal information is disclosed only with your explicit consent. Privacy by design, not as an afterthought.
Everyone deserves an identity. UIP works in every country, supports government IDs from anywhere, and requires only a smartphone.
Your identity isn’t controlled by any company or platform. It can’t be taken away, locked out, or deleted without your consent.
Complexity is the enemy of security. UIP makes strong authentication as simple as looking at your phone or touching your finger.
