Aethel ID
THE MOAT — Post-Quantum Cryptographic Identity
The permanent technological moat and cryptographic foundation for the entire 0x307 ecosystem — and the first thing we shipped as open source. Aethel issues permanent identities for both human operators and non-human agents using post-quantum cryptography. Each identity presents through context-local PLP projections: a fresh identifier for every counterparty, provable anywhere without handing over the key behind it. Selective disclosure of attributes is built in and being hardened for private data. The primitives underneath are general-purpose by design: 8gentz will consume them for its identity layer, and so can anyone else.
