Anchor Identity Layer

The Anchor Identity Layer is a computational storage identifier layer that integrates multiple aspects of a user's digital footprint:

• Social Media Aggregation: This layer securely manages and consolidates authentication data for all linked social media accounts.

• Blockchain Address Repository: This layer securely stores private and public keys associated with blockchain addresses across networks like Ethereum and Cardano. This enables secure multi-chain access and interaction with decentralized applications.

• Proof of Personhood: This crucial layer is dedicated to verifying that each user is a unique and real human being, thereby preventing Sybil attacks and other forms of identity fraud. It utilizes advanced biometric data, such as a palm vector hash, along with other identity credentials like government-issued documents, to establish a robust and reliable digital identity.

The Anchor Identity Layer employs advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure data security:

• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK): By leveraging ZK protocols, the system allows users to verify their identities without exposing sensitive credentials. This ensures secure and privacy-preserving authentication, reducing the risk of identity compromise.

• Decentralized Storage with Encrypted Data: The system employs decentralized storage networks, encrypting data and splitting it into shards that are stored on IPFS and their identifiers will be distributed across multiple nodes for data integrity.
