The protocol · Closed development

Identity and privacy, by architecture.

Bonafide is the open identity and privacy protocol underneath everything Cloud Connected builds. No passwords to steal, no central database to breach — privacy as a property of the design, not a line in a policy.

§ 01

What Bonafide provides

User-held identity

Cryptographic identity owned by the person, rooted in their device — not in a company's database. No password sitting somewhere to be stolen.

Passwordless authentication

Device-native, biometric verification. Account takeover via SIM swap, phishing, or password leak becomes structurally impossible.

Atomic encryption

Per-unit encryption under keys only the user controls, so a provider holds only scrambled data it cannot read.

Scoped, revocable access

Time-bounded institutional access and multiple unlinkable personas — granted narrowly, taken back at any time.


Why it matters

A foundation, not a feature.

Most privacy is a promise: a company says it won't look. Bonafide removes the company's ability to look at all. That difference — won't versus can't — is the whole point, and it's why every product built on Bonafide inherits the same guarantee.

It began as security architecture engineered to protect personal data inside high-assurance systems, and is now developed and owned by Cloud Connected as a standalone foundation — available, in time, to any product that needs identity without surveillance.

For builders

Building on Bonafide.

Bonafide is currently in closed development. If you're building something that needs identity without surveillance, we'd like to hear from you.
