FISE enables secure authentication, explicit user consent, and interoperable identity across Web2 and Web3 applications — without centralized data custody.
Most digital services rely on centralized accounts and opaque data flows. This model creates recurring challenges including data breaches, credential reuse, limited user visibility, compliance risk, and platform lock-in.
These issues are structural properties of the current identity model — not isolated failures.
FISE provides infrastructure that allows applications to authenticate users and verify permissions without becoming long-term custodians of personal data.
Passwordless, cryptographic identity that reduces phishing and credential reuse.
Explicit, auditable access requests with user-managed approval and revocation.
Standards-aligned architecture across Web2 and Web3 environments.
Verify claims without retaining personal data, reducing breach and liability exposure.
Users create a cryptographic identifier they control.
Trusted entities issue verifiable credentials representing specific claims.
Applications request only what they need and receive cryptographic proof.
Users can review, grant, or revoke permissions at any time.
