iDen2

The trust engine of the internet.

Humans, organizations, and AI agents, verified once and trusted across every industry, jurisdiction, and protocol.

Chapter 01
The shift in actors

The internet is no longer just for humans.

AI agents now open accounts, sign contracts, and move money on behalf of people and organizations. The thirty-year assumption that a person is on the other end is over.

New actors, same question: who is on the other end, and are they allowed to do this?

Opening a bank account

ING asks Anna

  1. They ask

    Are you over 18, and where do you live?

  2. They learn

    Yes. And she lives in Norway.

  3. Done

    Account opened. Her birthday stayed private.

Chapter 02 · Forces

Four forces are converging on the same fault line.

Any one of these would be a nuisance. All four at once turn passwords, screenshots, one-off KYC, and static keys into a systemic risk.

No point solution addresses more than one. A shared layer addresses all four.

Chapter 03 · Assumptions expired

The identity model we still use was designed for a world that no longer exists.

Passwords, MFA, one-off KYC, and static API keys rest on four assumptions. All four have expired.

What we assumed
Broke in
What is true now
  • A one-time check is enough
    2019
    Sanctions, roles, and mandates change between transactions
    Continuous risk & sanctions regimes
  • A shared API key is an identity
    2022
    Machine identities must be attributable and revocable
    Supply-chain breaches, key sprawl
  • There is a human on the other end
    2023
    Autonomous agents open accounts and transact
    Agentic software goes production
  • A document proves who someone is
    2024
    Generative models produce documents that clear most checks
    Synthetic media at consumer scale
Every assumption the old stack rested on has already expired.
The internet, as infrastructureOne layer is missing
  • Application
    Websites, apps, workflows
    Every company
  • Trust
    Who or what is on the other end, and are they allowed to do this?
    Missing layer
  • Compute
    Servers on demand
    Cloud providers
  • Payments
    Value settled programmatically
    Card networks, stablecoins
  • Transport
    Encrypted delivery of bytes
    TLS, TCP/IP
  • Addressing
    Resolvable names
    DNS

Every other layer has infrastructure. Trust is still rebuilt inside every product.

Chapter 04 · The missing layer

Every layer the internet treats as infrastructure was once a workaround inside every product.

Names became DNS. Transport became TLS. Compute became cloud. Value became card networks. Each capability moved down the stack and became infrastructure everyone shares.

Trust is next.

As foundational as cloud, as invisible as DNS, as economically significant as payments. Every actor online will need it in every transaction.

Our vision
“We stand at the threshold of a digital era where your identity is not a password you remember, it is a cryptographic proof you carry. iDen2 is building the infrastructure that makes that true for every person, every organization, and every AI agent they deploy.”

Chapter 05 · What the layer unlocks

Once trust is infrastructure, proof from one industry holds in the next.

Each industry rebuilt verification for itself. The layer replaces all of those stacks with one.

Chapter 06 · Delegated AI agents

An agent is only as trustworthy as the principal behind it.

Bind every autonomous action to a verified person or organization. Define scope, expiry, and revocation cryptographically so any counterparty can verify live.

  • Signed mandates
    Scoped, expiring authority in W3C VC format.
  • CAPoC
    Live re-attestation of principal control every few seconds.
  • Instant revocation
    Any principal revokes; every counterparty sees it.

Chapter 07 · Unlock robust and diverse utility

One Identity Wallet, ultimate control, unlimited utility

iDen2 puts people in control of what they share, when they share it, and which agents may act on their behalf. Relying parties get cryptographic proof, compliance evidence, and live revocation without rebuilding trust from scratch.

One held identity unlocks selective disclosure, consent, qualified signatures, reusable KYC, and scoped agent mandates across every verifier that accepts the layer.

Chapter 08 · Engage

Trust infrastructure will be as foundational as cloud. iDen2 is building it.
