Get Started
Your style. Fully tune your authentication experience without the effort.
We get it: authentication is one of the first boxes to check when building a website or application. It’s built to get the job done, and then it slowly becomes legacy code that no one wants to touch.
Today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, diverse and context-specific UX needs, and user privacy concerns all require more from traditional authentication. NuID addresses these challenges with a platform that grows and adapts to the new demands of digital identity.
By building with NuID, you ensure your applications and services remain embedded in modern cryptographic best practices.
Because that's what login should do.
Read the DocsHome security camera systems have become increasingly affordable and accessible to the general public, with many homeowners opting to install them as a means of protecting their properties and families. These systems typically consist of multiple cameras placed around the perimeter of a property, which can be monitored remotely through a smartphone app or computer. While they can provide a sense of security and peace of mind, they also raise important questions about privacy and surveillance.
The increasing popularity of home security camera systems has sparked a heated debate about the trade-off between safety and privacy. On one hand, these systems provide homeowners with a sense of security and can serve as a deterrent to potential intruders. On the other hand, they also raise significant concerns about privacy, particularly when it comes to capturing footage of neighbors, passersby, and other individuals who may not be aware that they are being recorded. This paper explores the current state of home security camera systems, their benefits and drawbacks, and the need for a balanced approach that prioritizes both safety and privacy. The increasing popularity of home security camera systems
Home security camera systems are a double-edged sword, providing both safety and security benefits, as well as significant privacy concerns. To balance these competing interests, it is essential to develop industry standards, regulatory frameworks, and public education campaigns that promote best practices for the use and deployment of these systems. By prioritizing both safety and privacy, we can harness the benefits of home security camera systems while minimizing their drawbacks. This paper explores the current state of home
At NuID's core is an established cryptographic method to verify that a user can produce a secret value, such as a password or private key, without revealing that secret to anyone. Ever.
Instead of sharing this secret with an authenticating server, a cryptographic zero knowledge proof of the secret is generated on the client device. The proof is used to verify that the user input the correct authentication secret, without any private authentication data leaving their device.
Combining this capability with emerging distributed ledger technologies removes the need for users to trust anyone with their passwords and other authentication secrets, giving them ownership over their authentication credentials and, eventually, their digital representation across the web.
NuID White Paper
We believe the next wave of technological transformation will bring persistent, privacy-forward digital identity to the web, which will simplify and de-risk the flow of information over our public and private networks.
NuID's open authentication protocol and API were designed to transition seamlessly between web2, web3, and all the webs before and after that. And authentication is only the beginning.
NuID is building a foundation for a decentralized identity ecosystem
that goes beyond just login. Check out the NuID White Paper

with our team.
Users—people—want more privacy, transparency, and agency in how their online data is managed. In other words, we need to retrofit the internet with a sound identity layer.
