yuID

yuID (formerly known as BlokSec) is a passwordless authentication solution launched in 2019 that leverages digital signatures and distributed ledger technology to provide secure identity verification. The platform's core technology implements tamper-proof authentication through advanced cryptography, allowing users to access websites and applications without traditional passwords while maintaining an immutable record of authentication events.

The system operates through a mobile application that enables three primary functions: passwordless login, multi-factor authentication, and digital consent management for sensitive transactions. Technical implementation includes integration with enterprise systems through partnerships with major technology providers like Microsoft, IBM, and BeyondTrust. The platform utilizes blockchain technology for verification and storage of authentication responses, though specific details about the underlying distributed ledger implementation are not publicly disclosed.

Notable adoption includes implementations at Durham College's Centre for Cybersecurity Innovation, SiberX, and Acreage, where it is used for:

• Securing corporate email services
• Providing consent-based authorization
• Enabling passwordless access to institutional resources

  Example implementation: Durham College selected yuID after an RFP process to provide secure authentication with customization capabilities.
