[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?

No

[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

The commitment to fully open-source our project involves navigating substantial legal 

complexities. Our goal is to maximize the open-source components of our project; however, 

the intricate legal landscape surrounding permissions, licenses, and intellectual property

rights precludes an unequivocal guarantee of this objective. Legal constraints may limit our 

ability to open-source certain elements, although we are dedicated to upholding the 

principles of open-source development as extensively as possible.

[METADATA] Horizons

Identity & Verification

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

How do you perceive the problem you are solving?

Access relies on traditional keys, access cards, NFC Token or digital keys which can be lost, transferred, stolen, or duplicated and that are replaced at a certain time. The access management relies on a high number of keys to determine in which areas an individual can access or not based on predefined permissions. Various access systems with different legal entities cannot handle the same key. Therefore, we create a secure unlosable untransferable key based on biometrics, applying the principles of self-sovereign identity and using zero-knowledge-proof with the following settings and advantages:

1. between users, which prevents unauthorized access sharing and enhances security protocol
2. Convenience: Users do not need to remember passwords or carry keys or card
3. Reduced Costs: By eliminating the need for physical security devices (like keys or access cards), and the replacement, organizations can reduce overhead cost
4. Security and Privacy: Self-sovereign identity allows individuals to own and control their digital identities without relying on a central authority
5. Consent-Based Data Sharing: SSI enables users to control who can access their identity data and under what circumstance.
6. Interoperability Across Different Systems: SSI provides a standardized way of identity verification that can work across different platforms and system
7. Reduction of Fraud: Biometrics linked to a self-sovereign identity make it much harder for fraudulent access since the identity is directly tied to immutable physiological or behavioral characteristics that are difficult to forge or steal.
8. Non-Repudiation: Incorporating biometrics ensures that actions taken on digital platforms can be irrefutably linked to an individual, which is crucial for legal and security reason.
9. Greater User Trust and Adoption: By empowering users to manage their own identities and using biometrics for verification, systems based on SSI principles can increase trust among user.
10. Privacy and Data Protection: Biometrics are user-owned, user-centric, user-stored, hashed and encrypted to comply with general data protection. 

What are your reasons for approaching it in the way that you have?

We create a user-owned key, that cannot be lost, transferred, stolen, duplicated and that can be used across all systems for identity and access management.

Furthermore, this key meets the highest demands in data protection, uses zero knowledge proofs allowing the verification of data without exposing the actual information, and minimizing the amount of personal data processed and stored. The key works in critical infrastructure: KRITIS-DachG: The KRITIS-DachG mandates stringent security protocols for critical infrastructure, emphasizing the need for robust smart access systems. These systems must ensure secure, efficient, and controlled access to sensitive areas, mitigating risks and safeguarding against unauthorized intrusions. NIS2UmsuCG: NIS2UmsuCG emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity across essential services. In high-security environments, smart access solutions are critical to implementing these standards, providing secure authentication and monitoring to prevent breaches, ensure compliance, and enhance overall system resilience.

 

Who will your project engage?

Our product can be used by all existing 40,000 B2B-customers of Salto on 1.8 million smart locks.

 

How will you demonstrate or prove your impact?

We will integrate the secure unlosable untransferable key within the hardware and software solution of Salto Systems..

 

Explain what is unique about your solution, who will benefit, and why this is important to Cardano?

Unique: It is a key, that is secure, unlosable, untransferable, decentral, user-centric, user-owned, compliant.

Benefit: Convenience because users do not need to remember passwords or carry keys or cards. Reduced costs, by eliminating the need for physical devices like keys or access cards and the replacement.

Trust: Empowering users to manage their identities.

Importance to Cardano: Real-world product with Tier1-partner with creating transactions if form of digital identity as a key sitting on Cardano via a DID decentralized identifier did:prism or did:iamx.

How will you measure this impact? 

To effectively measure the impact of our project, which integrates biometric-based, self

sovereign identities using zero-knowledge proofs with a DID on Cardano, we will implement

a comprehensive evaluation strategy that combines quantitative metrics and qualitative

assessments across several key areas:

• Monitor and record the frequency of security breaches and unauthorized access incidents before and after the implementation of our solution. 
• Analyze the reduction in fraud cases
• Conduct surveys and structured interviews with users, developers, and stakeholders to gauge their perception of improved security and trust due to the use of our technology
• Track the number of third-party integrations and new applications developed using our identity solution
• Compare operational costs related to identity management and transaction processing before and after deployment. 
• Count the number of different systems and platforms that successfully integrate our SSI based identity verification solution
• Document compliance incidents and privacy breaches, if any, to monitor improvements in regulatory alignment
• Engage with compliance officers and privacy experts to assess the effectiveness of our solution in meeting global and local regulatory standard
• Analyze growth statistics in terms of user numbers and application areas within the Cardano ecosystem
• Measure the growth in active participants and transactions within the Cardano ecosystem to assess ecosystem health and sustainability

How will you share the outputs and opportunities that result from your project?

We will employ a multi-faceted approach designed to engage various stakeholders, promote transparency, and foster collaboration. Here are the key strategies we will utilize:

• We plan to host regular online community engagement sessions and workshops, where we will demonstrate the capabilities of our solution, discuss its applications, and gather feedback. 
• We will actively seek partnerships with other projects and businesses in the Cardano ecosystem. 
• We will sell and implement the solution with partners and bring more clients and adoption to Cardano
• Regular progress reports and updates will be shared through various channels, including our project’s website, and social media platforms.
