YouID is a verifiable credentials generator that puts you in full control of both your identity and privacy, courtesy of existing open standards that are already integral parts of both the Internet and World Wide Web. 

Credentials generated by this tool take the form of industry standard document types that are natively understood by all modern operating systems -- across desktops, laptops, mobile phones, wearables, and IoT devices. 

Usage Examples:

1. Digitally signed emails that enable mail recipients verify the identity of mail senders

2. Encrypted emails that ensure mail content is only readable by a designated recipient

3. Shared document protection and general data access policies based on access controls informed by the verifiable identity 

Simply generate your verifiable credentials en route to experiencing the full power and promise of both the Internet and Web without compromising your Identity or Privacy!

Enhancements

Portable HTML-based profile document

Generation of a portable HTML-based profile document comprising public credentials and related artifacts are also produced as part of its credentials generating functionality. This kind of profile document is generally referred to as a “Link In Bio” page. Unlike commonly available “Link In Bio” documents, a YouID generated profile document also includes machine-computable metadata —in the form of a Personal Profile Knowledge Graph— that mirrors relevant private credentials held in a local X.509 certificate as the basis for modern user-controlled self-sovereign identity.

Bug Fixes

Generation of self-signed certificates now properly includes generation of a self-signed Certificate Authority (CA) certificate for signing Identity Principal Certificates. As a result, self-signed certificates generated by YouID are now immediately usable across Apple Mail, Microsoft OutLook, Thunderbird, and any other Email application that supports the S/MIME protocol for generating digitally signed and/or encrypted emails using a self-signed certificate.
