Cross-platform self-sovereign identity business card and messaging app

id.ly

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.

Getting Started

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.

Installing

Clone a copy of the repository into your local machine.

Running the app

npm start

Runs the app in development mode.

Open it in the Expo app on your phone to view it. It will reload if you save edits to your files, and you will see build errors and logs in the terminal.

Sometimes you may need to reset or clear the React Native packager's cache. To do so, you can pass the --reset-cache flag to the start script:

npm start --reset-cache
# or
yarn start --reset-cache

npm run ios

Like npm start, but also attempts to open your app in the iOS Simulator if you're on a Mac and have it installed.

npm run android

Like npm start, but also attempts to open your app on a connected Android device or emulator. Requires an installation of Android build tools (see React Native docs for detailed setup).

Built With

• Create React Native App
• React Native
• Redux
