Identity replaces keys. Everything builds on that.

Instead of managing secrets, every system and AI is identified directly. Permissions, access, and actions are all tied to identity.

Replace API Keys and SSH Keys

xLink

Runtime Connections
The Crisis
48% of enterprises call AI agent identity their #1 threat. 44% are using static API keys for AI agents. $87B/year in API breaches, doubling year-over-year.
xLink replaces API keys and SSH keys with identity-based connections. Every system and AI agent gets a DID. No secrets to rotate. No tokens to leak. Access is cryptographic, not file-based.
  • API keys → Identity-based auth (DIDs)
  • SSH keys → Cryptographic handshake
  • AI agents → Verifiable identity, not static tokens
  • M2M connections → Zero credential sprawl

Session-Gated Code Access

xGit

Version Control
Anti-Piracy
Departing engineers git clone full repositories. Contractors steal proprietary algorithms. One clone = permanent local copy. $46 billion in stolen code annually. No cryptographic revocation exists.
xGit splits every file into shares. Share 1 is public noise. Share 2 requires an active session (DID-authenticated, time-limited). Session expires → Share 2 purged → code becomes useless noise.
  • SSH keys → DID-based commit signing
  • Git clone → Session-gated reconstruction
  • Access revocation → Cryptographic, not administrative
  • Audit trails → Tamper-evident, HMAC-chained

Powered by xID

The Identity Layer

Both xLink and xGit build on xID — the identity infrastructure that makes keys obsolete. Ephemeral DIDs generated in ~50µs. eIDAS 2.0 unlinkability compliant. Solves the AI agent identity crisis at the protocol level.

Ephemeral Identity

Per-verifier DIDs from XorIDA-split master seed. ~50µs generation. Cross-repo unlinkable.

Self-Converging Identity

K-of-N threshold convergence from 8 signal types. ISO 24745 cancelable biometrics. No seed at rest.

AI Agent Identity

Verifiable DID per agent. No static tokens. Cryptographic accountability. 48% crisis → solved.

Real-World Impact
From seed custody to email security — identity infrastructure in production.
Patent US 11,972,000 B2

Xecret: Seed Custody

Hardware wallet seed split across 3 email addresses. Threshold reconstruction (2-of-3). Lose your phone → recover via email. Lose one email → still access your wallet.

Information-theoretic security. One share alone reveals zero bits. HMAC verification before reconstruction. No custodian, no single point of failure.

Built on PRIVATE.ME

Xail: Email Client

Lightweight email client with split-channel secure messaging. Regular email (1 address) or secure Xail-to-Xail (2+ addresses, threshold-protected). Both modes coexist in one inbox.

Visual security tiers. Blue border (2-of-2 secured). Green border (2-of-3 secured + fault tolerant). Enterprise compliance for regulated industries.
