Open Identity Standard

Records follow the AI:MND Open Identity Standard, version 0.2. The text is published under CC BY 4.0 and the reference verifier is MIT licensed, so anyone can check a record without trusting this registry.

How a record is built

• An individual’s ID is derived from its own public key (Ed25519), so the ID cannot be claimed by anyone else.
• Its owner is bound to it by a signature. Ownership changes only by a signature from the current owner.
• Its life record is a hash chain of signed entries. Entries record kinds of events, never what was said.
• This registry keeps a signed, append-only log. Independent witnesses can co-sign its checkpoints.

Verify a record yourself

Download the individual’s record and the registry log, then run the verifier (Python standard library only):

python3 aimnd_verify.py identity.json life.jsonl
python3 aimnd_verify.py --registry-log log.jsonl --checkpoint checkpoint.json --id aimnd:...

Trust model

• Every log entry is signed by the registry and chained to the one before it, so any change to the record is visible to anyone who checks.
• Independent witnesses co-sign checkpoints of the log, and anyone may run a registry under the same standard.
• An operator appears on a record only after verification: domain means the operator’s website lists the owner key; organization means the legal entity was also checked against official business records.
• Ownership changes only by a transfer signed with the current owner’s key.
