Description

NuID provides a trustless authentication model and decentralized identity solution for websites and applications, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and blockchain technology. This approach eliminates centralized password storage, preventing mass credential breaches by ensuring passwords never leave the user's device. The company's mission is to end such breaches and return data agency to individuals. NuID follows an "open-core" model, offering key open-source cryptographic libraries on GitHub, complemented by a proprietary RESTful API available through a Developer Portal to simplify integration for developers. Currently, the public API has been taken offline while the team undergoes restructuring, though documentation remains available for self-hosted configurations.
