KUDO ID™ - DID Module of IOST 3.0
KUDO ID™ (Know Ur Digital Ownership) is a next-generation, decentralized biometric identity protocol designed for secure authentication, payments, and decentralized identity (DID) verification. By leveraging dual-modal palm vein and palm print biometrics, KUDO ID™ delivers fraud-resistant, privacy-preserving digital identity solutions that integrate seamlessly across Web2, Web3, and DeFi ecosystems.
The rise of fake identities (52.5 to 150 billion accounts) and automated bot-driven fraud (90% of stablecoin transactions, 90% of airdrops targeted by Sybil attacks) has created a $1 trillion risk in digital finance. KUDO ID™ mitigates these risks by employing zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) cryptography, allowing users to verify their identity without exposing sensitive data on IOST.
Core Advantages
- 99.9% biometric accuracy, reducing false acceptance rates (FAR < 0.01%)
- Multi-chain interoperability with BNB Chain and IOST, ensuring scalability and high-speed, low-cost identity verification
- Decentralized Identity (DID) + Palm-Based Payments, enabling frictionless financial transactions while maintaining full user control
- GDPR & CCPA Compliance with self-sovereign identity (SSI) architecture, ensuring regulatory trust and privacy
- Tokenized incentives & staking, where verified users and ecosystem participants earn rewards for securing the network
By 2028, over 1 billion users are projected to need decentralized identity solutions, making KUDO ID™ a fundamental infrastructure module for IOST expansion to Web3 finance and payments.
1. System Architecture
Biometric Data Capture and Processing
- Dual-Modal Biometric Identification: KUDO ID™ leverages dual-modal biometric recognition, capturing both palm vein and palm print data for maximum security.
- Image Capture Devices: The system uses RGB/IR cameras to acquire high-resolution palm vein and print data.
- Preprocessing Techniques:
- Grayscale Conversion
- Denoising and Enhancement
- Region of Interest (ROI) Extraction
- Segmentation of biometric patterns (e.g., skin lines, whorls)
Feature Extraction and Matching
- Feature Extraction: Core attributes (e.g., texture, vein patterns) are encoded into vectors through advanced algorithms.
- Feature Matching: Using Euclidean Distance, Correlation Coefficient, and deep learning matching algorithms, the system verifies identity with high precision.
Decentralized Storage and Privacy Control
- Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP): ZKP technology enables users to prove identity without revealing biometric data, protecting user privacy.
- Decentralized Ledger: Each verified user's ID (DID) and verifiable credentials (VC) are securely stored on-chain, providing immutability and transparency.
- User-Controlled Data: Data is stored in a decentralized manner, with users maintaining ownership and access rights through self-sovereign identity (SSI).
2. Security and Privacy
Multi-Layered Authentication Protocols
- Biometric Matching Accuracy: The system is optimized to minimize False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) by setting precise thresholds for identity confirmation.
- Zero-Knowledge Proof Integration: Allows the system to confirm identity without exposing personal data, using cryptographic proofs.
Compliance with Global Standards
- GDPR/CCPA Compliance: KUDO ID™ is designed to meet stringent global privacy regulations, ensuring user data control and informed consent.
- Decentralized Identity Verification: Ensures compliance by limiting access to verified users only and maintaining secure data control on-chain.
