🆕 Software Suggestion | humanID | One-Click Anonymous Login #2247

Open HumanEmon opened 3 years ago

Basic Information

Name: humanID Category: Identity Provider Website: https://human-id.org/ Github: https://github.com/bluenumberfoundation Developer Console: https://developers.human-id.org/home/ Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8EFWL91628

Description

humanID is a nonprofit, open-source initiative building a replacement to social media logins like “Login with Facebook”. Unlike existing logins, humanID allows users to sign onto third-party websites or apps with full anonymity. humanID creates a fully anonymous, privacy-first identity that enables communities to block bots and abusive users.

Why I am making the suggestion

Our technology will solve two looming challenges to our society: Disinformation and the invasion of our privacy. First, we are fighting an Infodemic facilitated by bot networks. In an era when the truth is distorted, humanID blocks bots and trolls from being deployed at large scale because humanID users must have an active and exclusive phone number, which costs 30x more than buying a bot profile. Second, humanID’s cryptographic hash will keep users safe and anonymous. Applications such as Facebook can’t take advantage of their social login and track users’ data. Users are fully protected from data breaches––as their personal data is never stored to begin with.

My connection with the software

My name is Bikram and I’m writing on behalf of humanID, a non-profit open-source project dedicated to user privacy and online accountability. I’ve been at humanID for almost a year now and i've seen us grow from a team of 7 volunteers to a team now of over 50 people around the world! We have already integrated with a few apps, and we would love for you guys to check us out, and give us any advice or opinions you have on humanID, whether it has to do with our codebase, website layout, or overall mission. Linked above is our website, demo video, and since we are committed to transparency, our entire codebase!

Does this work with the fediverse? For example, would this allow a Mastodon user to log in with that on Lemmy, Pleroma, or BookWyrm?

Hey @LongJohn-Silver! This can definitely work with the Fediverse. humanID would be the identity provider for account creation on your instance, which would still allow users to interact with Lemmy, Pleroma, or BookWyrm over ActivityPub. We are currently planning to release a Ruby on Rails SDK sometime this year, and would love to collaborate on integrating humanID into a Mastodon Instance.
