Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about UnbreakableID, our technology, and how to get started.
What is UnbreakableID?
UnbreakableID is a secure, interoperable digital identity solution offered as a SaaS platform. It enables institutions, partners, and users to issue, hold, and verify credentials using open standards like OID4VC, anchored in decentralized trust frameworks.
What technologies power UnbreakableID?
- OID4VC: OpenID for Verifiable Credentials for seamless exchange.
- BNSv2: Anchoring identifiers on the Stacks blockchain.
- Stacks & Bitcoin: Secured by Bitcoin’s finality.
- DIDs: Cryptographically verifiable identity for all parties.
How is user privacy protected?
- Private keys are never stored on servers. Users control their ID Vault.
- No centralized tracking. Presentations are peer-to-peer and consent-based.
- Data minimization. Only necessary attributes are shared.
Who can use UnbreakableID?
The platform serves Institutions (universities, banks, government agencies issuing credentials), Business partners (integrating as Verifiers or branded Issuers), and End users (holding and presenting credentials via their ID Vault).
What devices and platforms are supported?
UnbreakableID works across all modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox), mobile devices (iOS and Android), and tablets. We utilize QR codes and deep links for seamless credential flows across devices.
What’s the difference between packages?
- Default (ubid.app): Use UnbreakableID’s domain and infrastructure for fast deployment.
- Branded: Institutions can issue credentials under their own domain, with custom branding and user flows.
Is UnbreakableID interoperable?
Yes. We support OID4VC and SD-JWT formats, trust list validation for Issuers, cross-wallet compatibility with other compliant ID Vaults, and Travel Rule compliance for financial institutions.
