UIP-Universal-Identity-Platform

Universal Identity Platform Using Solidity Ethereum and IPFS

• Give People, Organization, and even smart contracts an identity with the UIP, Universal Identity Platform
  • Our app is in production on the rinkeby testnet here
• Use metamask to get and put data on the blockchain using out Identity smart contract
• Manage your identity with many public keys
  • So single point of failure as is the case with uPort
• Use consensys with your public keys to unverify other public keys
  • When someone has 3 keys they can reject one
  • When someone has 4 keys they need 3 of them to reject one
  • WHen someone has 5 keys they need 3 of them to reject one
  • WHen someone has 6 keys they need 4 of them to reject one
  • When someone has 7 keys they need 4 of them to reject one
• Create multiple identitys with single public key
• Identity is useless unless you can do something with it
  • Any identity can issue non transfurable tokens to another identity as a credential
  • This token contains metadata of a hash of a file that the user of the identity can show as proof of their identity
  • To transfer the identity file from the issuer to the user encrypting it with PGP and transfering it using email or IPFS
  • Note that the token has a spot for the encrypted IPFS location so the user does not even need an email address
• PGP for secure transmission of information accross the internet
  • When an issuer gives out a credential a hash of a file is attached
  • The issuer transmits the file to the users email
  • One can attach a pgp key and email to their identity for secure communication with other entities on the identity platform
  • One can even generate a pgp key on our site here
  • One can get thie pgp client here
• Use cases:
  • #talent-recognition
  • #verifiable-orgs
  • #gcentities-entitesgc
  • #globaldrugsupplychain
  • #farm-ferme
  • #persec
  • #public-education
  • #notary-notaire
  • #health-sante
• Dependencies
  • Nodejs
    • npm install -g truffle
    • npm install truffle-hdwallet-provider
    • npm install express
• Next step is to build put all the seperate webpages for manageing ones identity into one
  • Functions needed for UIP
    • Create identity
    • Switch between identities
    • Manage account data
      • View and set email and pgp
    • Manage key pairs
      • Remove key pair
      • Add key pair
    • Manage personal credential tokens
      • Display tokens
      • Accept them with a button
      • Revoke them with a button
    • Manage given credential tokens
      • Display them all
      • Offer to update them is possible
      • Have search functionality
  • Implement later
    • Get files from IPFS
      • Takes in hash returns file downloaded
    • Unencrypt files pgp
      • Explain how to do it or offer it in browser
    • Set payment address, not implemented in smart contract yet
  • Potential bugs
    • The manage key pair part of smart contract is not fully functional
    • If someone revokes an address from their identity it is not removed from the lookup table, yet
    • I need to make sure there is a way to look up what addresses have access to what identitys
• Code inspiration
  • SideNav Push Example
  • Dynamic Tabs Example
