Masque ID (Decentralized Identity)

Masque ID

Masque ID is a decentralized identity system for compliant digital assets . It streamlines KYC while streamlining data privacy.

The Masque ID protocol allows users to create their self-sovereign identity on the blockchain. Their private data is kept off-chain with trusted parties, encrypted identity proofs of data validation are published on the blockchain.

Key Features

  1. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI): Users manage their identities, including attributes like jurisdiction codes, risk scores, and compliance credentials.

  2. Off-Chain Privacy: Sensitive data (e.g., passports) is stored with trusted KYC providers, while only encrypted identity proofs are published on-chain.

  3. Claims-Based Verification: The Claim Registry manages compliance claims like KYC and AML, linked to user identities for real-time validation.

  4. Dynamic Risk Management: Risk scores are updated dynamically based on activity, jurisdiction, and compliance status.

Masque ID: Decentralized Identity System

Purpose: Masque ID enables self-sovereign identity (SSI) management for compliant digital assets. It integrates on-chain identity proofs with off-chain data storage, streamlining KYC and regulatory compliance while preserving privacy.


Key Features

  1. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI): Users manage their identities, including attributes like jurisdiction codes, risk scores, and compliance credentials.

  2. Off-Chain Privacy: Sensitive data (e.g., passports) is stored with trusted KYC providers, while only encrypted identity proofs are published on-chain.

  3. Cryptographic Proofs: Identity validation relies on tamper-proof cryptographic attestations, ensuring authenticity without exposing private data.

  4. Claims-Based Verification: The Claim Registry manages compliance claims like KYC and AML, linked to user identities for real-time validation.

  5. Dynamic Risk Management: Risk scores are updated dynamically based on activity, jurisdiction, and compliance status.


Processes

  1. Identity Creation: Users submit documents to KYC providers, who validate and generate on-chain identity proofs.

  2. Compliance Validation: The Compliance Module queries the Identity and Claim Registries to ensure regulatory adherence during transactions.

  3. Updates and Restrictions: Non-compliant identities and expired claims are dynamically revoked or updated.


Core Interactions

  • Users: Manage their identities and proofs through Masque ID.

  • KYC Providers: Validate data and issue cryptographic proofs.

  • Smart Contracts: Query Masque ID for compliance validation.
