Identity & Trust

KTL (L2)

Enterprise TrustLayer. SSI identity (kynetraauth) + Vault. Zero-trust architecture.

Components

kynetraauth — Self-sovereign identity (did:w7)
Vault — Encrypted secret storage + rotation
KTL proper — Multi-party trust policies

kynetraauth (SSI)

Self-sovereign identity built on W3C DID standard. Each agent (human, bot, service) gets a decentralized identifier that is:

Owned by the subject, not an issuer
Anchored to L0 (tamper-evident)
Portable across organizations
Offline-verifiable (cryptographic proofs)

did:w7 Format

did:w7:method:specific-id

Examples:
  did:w7:org:acme-corp
  did:w7:bot:tax-filing-agent
  did:w7:user:alice@example.com
  did:w7:model:gpt-4-tax@sha256:abc123

Vault (Secrets)

Encrypted storage for:

Private keys (ed25519, secp256k1)
API keys + credentials
Database passwords
Encryption keys for PII

Encrypted at rest. Accessible only with proof of identity (kynetraauth). Rotation on schedule or on breach.

Trust Policies

KTL enforces multi-party trust:

MFA — biometric + hardware token
Recovery — quorum of trusted DIDs attest
Delegation — limited capability grants (time-bound, scope-limited)
Consent — auditable permission for data access
Revocation — instant key revocation + key derivation

Zero-Trust Architecture

Every request authenticated + authorized:

Subject presents DID + signed proof
KTL verifies signature against L0
Policy engine checks permissions
Audit trail logged (Vigil)
Access granted or denied

Status

Live: Powering authentication in 32 HB Ventures apps

L0 Anchoring: Coming with L0 trust substrate (2026-2027)

Enterprise features: MFA, audit logs, key rotation policies
