Why we do this

Back in the early 2010's, I became fascinated by the "Login with your COMPANY X account" buttons scattered all over the internet. A single company providing a concept of identity, protecting it and increasing its value over time.

What could go wrong?

Following the many detailed reports on the data-greedy nature of companies like Google and Facebook and their impact on society and our lives, I started exploring novel ways to safeguard digital identity of the online citizenry while respecting privacy and user sovereignty.

This ambition resulted in the launch of Keyoxide and the founding of the Key to Identity Foundation.
