TheoID (formerly AutheoID)
Planned post-quantum sovereign identity layer designed to use Kyber, Dilithium, and Falcon cryptographic algorithms for authentication and digital asset sovereignty, rolling out as part of the Autheo ecosystem.
TheoID (formerly AutheoID) is the planned sovereign identity layer of the Autheo ecosystem, rolling out over the coming months and not yet threaded into the live system. It is designed to provide post-quantum secure authentication using three cryptographic algorithms: Kyber (key encapsulation), Dilithium (digital signatures), and Falcon (compact signatures), which are also still rolling out and not yet protecting the network today. These algorithms are designed to resist attacks from both classical and quantum computers, with the goal of keeping identity secure as computing technology advances. Once live, TheoID is intended to let users and applications maintain a single, portable identity across the Autheo ecosystem. Unlike traditional blockchain wallet addresses, TheoID is designed to tie digital identity to cryptographic proofs that will survive cross-chain operations and sovereign chain deployments.

Decentralized Identity
Decentralized identity is a model of digital identity management where individuals control their own credentials and data without relying on a central authority such as a government database, social media platform, or corporate identity provider. On Autheo, decentralized identity is implemented through TheoID, a sovereign on-chain identity system built into the Layer-0 OS.
