BrightID is an identity network providing proof of unique personhood. A brightID is a socially unique identifier verified through graph analysis.
BrightIDs have the following characteristics:
- No personal data or biometrics are used for verification.
- Verified by a trusted group of close personal contacts plus a decentralized graph database.
- A lost or compromised ID can be replaced by reconnecting with a few close personal contacts.
The network consists of volunteers running nodes. Nodes host the trust graph used for verification, but there's no personal information stored there.
ID creation and connectons to people and apps are managed though the BrightID mobile app.
