Human Key Infrastructure Now Secured via Symbiotic

Hardening Natural Digital Rights through Crypto Economic Security

Human Network's launch on Symbiotic represents a pivotal moment for decentralizing and fortifying Human Key Infrastructure. This advancement ensures that rights to privacy, security, and personhood are resilient and immutable by embedding them as core functions within a decentralized network. Symbiotic's programmable shared security model provides additional redundancy to ensure that Human Key derivation maintains a high up-time, allowing anyone connected to the internet to create a self-custodial cryptography key from their human attributes.

A Threshold Network for Key Derivation & Identity

The network’s core technology—the threshold Verifiable Oblivious Pseudorandom Function (tVOPRF)—enables human-friendly private key derivation, addressing key privacy and functionality challenges. This innovation makes zero-knowledge identity practical for real-world applications, eliminating vulnerabilities associated with centralized identity systems prone to breaches and mass surveillance. Symbiotic’s robust shared security ensures that sensitive data is processed with maximum reliability, enabling the network to scale securely.

Human Keys: A New Paradigm

Holonym’s Human Keys allow anyone to derive cryptographic keys from what they have, what they know, or what they are, through a decentralized vOPRF threshold network. This eliminates single points of failure and simplifies self-custody without the complexity associated with seed phrases or physical hardware. By making Human Key Infrastructure accessible to everyday users, Human Network sets a new standard in usability and security for decentralized identity.

Given the sensitivity of tVOPRF computations on human data, centralized servers or poorly designed systems pose significant risks. Human’s reliance on Symbiotic’s shared security model ensures robust defenses against these vulnerabilities. The combination of capital efficiency, decentralized collateralization, and high-security standards solidifies its foundational infrastructure.

Keys to Sovereignty

Beyond deriving Human Keys, the Human Network makes these keys programmable for self sovereign identity. Programming privacy at a smart contract level addresses the core issues with legacy identity systems such as mass surveillance and data breaches, while striking a crucial balance with user rights to privacy. All user data remains encrypted by default, but can be verifiably revealed based on predefined smart contract conditions to prevent abuse of anonymity. For these use cases, decentralization through shared security models are vital to maintaining integrity and censorship resistance for real world use cases.

Scalability

Human Keys are designed for scalability, enabling applications like legal personhood proofs, peer-to-peer payments, and civic engagement. By eliminating traditional barriers to access, Human Network democratizes cryptographic technology, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to centralized systems.

Symbiotic’s shared security model plays a key role in this scalability. By leveraging decentralized infrastructure and advanced cryptographic primitives, Human ensures its network can support millions of users while maintaining the highest levels of efficiency and security.

Advantages of decentralizing Human Network through Symbiotic

Human-Friendly Keys for Easier Onboarding

Human Network simplifies cryptographic key creation through familiar authentication methods, such as passwords, social logins, government IDs, and security questions. This human-centric design enables universal access and self-custody without the complexity of seed phrases. Using tVOPRF, keys can be derived and recovered seamlessly across devices, providing a user-friendly approach to cryptographic security.

Programmable Privacy through Provable Encryption of Identity

Human Network enables users to encrypt sensitive data while proving its integrity. Smart contracts define precise conditions for decryption, ensuring data remains private and secure. Even if stakeholders are compromised, the network’s capture-resistant architecture prevents unauthorized access, aligning privacy with product and jurisdictional needs.

Nullifiers for ZK Identity

Zero-knowledge identity protocols rely on nullifiers to prevent double-spending and traceability. Human Network’s cryptographic primitives provide decentralized and privacy-preserving nullifiers, ensuring secure identity verification without compromising decentralization. This innovation enhances the integrity of zero knowledge identity systems while maintaining scalability and resistance to collusion.

The Human Network’s launch on Symbiotic is a significant leap forward for decentralized identity infrastructure. By combining advanced cryptographic technology with Symbiotic’s shared security, Human Network lays the foundation for a scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving digital identity ecosystem. This partnership transforms the vision of self-sovereign identity into a practical reality, empowering individuals with control over their digital lives.
