The majority of user data today is stored on massive, server-centric systems that are often vulnerable to data breaches. id.ly is a cross-platform app developed to implement a self-sovereign identity system. id.ly uses an RSA public-key cryptosystem to share business cards and messages using encrypted json files. Users connect to each other via bluetooth and can be assured that the information shared is genuine and verified, since every user has full control over their data and with whom they choose to share it.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. Please note that this app is currently in development, so not all features have been fully implemented.
