In 2024, the cost of global cybercrime is expected to exceed $10 trillion euros, with 80% of this crime estimated to result from stolen and misused identities. Additionally, the majority of the world's digital identities are not real humans but fake identities and bots. Some claim that in order to respond to these threats, we have to choose between security, usability, and privacy.
We know there is a better way.
SIROS Foundation is a new non-profit organization established in February 2025 with a mission to provide a next-generation digital identity platform for the internet. Our unique, web based and platform independent approach relies fully on open authentication and identity standards, and no user data is collected and sold. Powered by wwWallet, an open-source project, we are committed to building a trusted, privacy preserving and easy to use digital identity solution across borders.
By building on passkeys, integrated in all leading platforms and browsers, our solution offers phishing-resistant end-to-end security, no single point of failure, a minimum attack surface, and a path to eIDAS HIGH assurance certification. The user can combine syncable passkeys, integrated directly into computers and phones, with physical hardware passkeys, enabling a wide range of security requirements and scenarios.
Our solution offers unprecedented usability improvements over all alternatives by combining native platform support for passkeys with full encrypted data portability across all devices. We can offer solutions for shared devices, legal entities, and representation, as well as for phone restricted areas, disaster and emergency services, and a fully customizable user interface.
We rely fully on standardized web technologies and have no proprietary technology. Our solution can be deployed even without requiring a web or app download. By using Passkeys, backup hardware is affordable, minimizing account recovery and support costs. Open standards also enable an open marketplace where credential issuers, identity providers, relying parties, integrators, and hardware authentication vendors can compete and develop value-added solutions.
Our solution never collects user data in any form. By using FIDO passkeys, all user data is encrypted with a key that only the user controls. The user's data cannot be shared with anyone unless the user has given their explicit permission. There are no backdoors and it is possible for the user to protect their data from the mobile platform. Also, we are working to support zero-knowledge proof technology using FIDO Passkeys.
