TheoID (formerly AutheoID)
Post-quantum sovereign identity layer using Kyber, Dilithium, and Falcon cryptographic algorithms to provide authentication and digital asset sovereignty.
TheoID (formerly AutheoID) is the sovereign identity layer of the Autheo ecosystem. It provides post-quantum secure authentication using three cryptographic algorithms: Kyber (key encapsulation), Dilithium (digital signatures), and Falcon (compact signatures). These algorithms are designed to resist attacks from both classical and quantum computers, ensuring identity security as computing technology advances. TheoID enables users and applications to maintain a single, portable identity across the Autheo ecosystem. Unlike traditional blockchain wallet addresses, TheoID ties digital identity to cryptographic proofs that 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.
