With the strong presence and vast applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), the continuously improving internet platform and never-ending technological advancements in general, the need for a dependable identity security system is getting more evident every day.

As one goes online to access a certain online platform one first needs to input their password or go through identity authentication security platforms to prove their identity. 2 Factor Authentication (2FA), One Time Passwords (OTPs) and Cryptography are just few of the current authentication systems that are available to address the vulnerability of the traditional passwords. But surely enough, these systems are still susceptible to hacks thus giving us a possibility of being targeted by identity thieves.

Morever, even government and businesses are looking for a solution that will give them a solid identification directory of their constituents. But the biggest challenge to make this vision possible is to agree on a single framework to hold a vast amount of identity that can keep it as safe and secured as possible.



With this problem in mind, Diro is giving us a decentralized Identity and Access Management or the Diro dIAM which is the next generation phonebook that will give us a unique digital fingerprint that is is highly resistant to identity thieves and will seamless access from one network to another.

Getting to know the team behind Diro

Diro is composed of the “World's greatest think tank” to solve a global identity problem. The team is composed of advisors that are highly knowledgeable Artificial Intelligencee (AI), identity, security and directory platforms and business.

The team also includes a full-house Full Stack/Java Engineers, Swift / Objective C Engineers, UX Design /Business Analysts and other brilliant minds who are behind the idea and implementation of Diro’s game changing and real identity problem solver solution – Diro dIAM.

Challenges

#1 Retaining and identity is hard

Not all users are technologically inclined and knowledgeable, thus passwords getting lost are usual thus leading to many cases of identities getting stolen. In a survey about 22% of respondents said that they are using the same password all over their online accounts. Now, that is one risky move and good proof that owning a digital identity is indeed hard.

#2 It requires mass consensus to verify one’s identity

Digital identity is highly susceptible by identity thieves and false identities. To ensure that one’s identity is indeed valid and authenticated, there is a need to do a mass consensus to prove this.

#3 Centralized systems will be unreliable in the long run

Storing all identity data in a single location makes it more susceptible to hacks standard geo-political and governance risk. As the data stored gets larger, the more it gets susceptible to thieves.

#4 The need for constant update and validation is needed

Events such as moving to another location, phones getting stolen or people getting married, identity information should be constantly updated and validated to ensure that all details remain intact and correct. This is highly important to businesses and government to ensure valid records.

#5 Mass adoption limitations

Existing directories and databases are limited by their reach in validating identities. Thus there is a need for an identity trust fabric and platform that could adhere to this limitation.

General Architecture

The main goal of Diro is to provide a frictionless mobile secure access through a shared directory. Even when your phone gets stolen or you are using multiple devices, as long as you are connected to the directory, your details will continue to point out to your identity.

To put things simply, Diro’s dIAM is a technology that will allow a user’s legal identity and any online document to get validated instantly. The document will be stored with an accompanying timestamp, SSL and hash. These documents are being tagged by the user’s mobile number’s MSISDN that allows the reutilization of the documents or information without the need to revalidate again.

Another feature of Diro is its ability to be a contacts app. If you belong to a company directory in your co-worker’s phonebook, Diro can automatically tag you and include you in this directory after you verify yourself. This will allow you and your co-workers to probably have the same contacts for belonging in a single directory. This is indeed one revolutionary phonebook technology.

Diro’s dIAM Architecture.

To create the dIAM, Diro’s platform makes use of the embedded Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) of user’s mobile number.

To achieve the global identity verification, a certificate is given to identities associated to the user’s MISISDN’s current contact directories. When the MSISDN of the user gained enough certificates from the directories found on the user’s phonebook (company, friends, family, school, associations and organizations) the data accumulated through the live exchange or interaction of these identities will strengthen the user’s identity information and will end validating each other due to the build information accumulated through the exchange.

The directories can act as a virtual Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) on the cloud. So when the user’s MSISDN is a part of so many directories the presence of a common trust fabric for identity verification that can be decentralized through a public blockchain can be achieved.

The example directories shown above symbolize the different directories your MISISDN is being a part of. Through your MSISDN’s live interaction to these directories, an exchange of information takes place thus giving you a unique digital fingerprint that was made through this interaction that is verifiable, recoverable and loss-proof. The fingerprint can include a mixture of your MSISDN, your name, birthday, company address and such. All information relates to your unique details. The directories then allow an automatic social KYC giving users frictionless access to the different directories. There is no longer a need to remember your password or create one.

Token Technical Parameters

Diro is going to release 10 billion DiroTokens of which 70% will be allotted to the first 500 million users of the platform. The remaining 30% belongs to the key stakeholders.

Ways to earn DiroTokens:

#1 Verifying personal connections and sharing identity information

#2 Building you connection through uncovering a mobile phone network





You can use your DiroToken with the following Diro’s services:

#1 Remote and fast KYC/CDD/EDD

#2 Easy and frictionless Group-Access to Apps

#3 Cloud LDAP

#4 Advance and added directory features

With this technology from Diro, one can easily choose which directory the user can share his or her information thus ensuring more identity security. Also, the ability to access networks with a single log-in technology makes this project solution provider to minimize chances of losing or having weak passwords and get attacked by identity thieves.
