Identify with credibility

Every verified device begins with a TRIS.dev identity, linking its operational fingerprint to a verifiable origin, manufacturer, or operator.

Through zk-based verification and provenance anchoring, Tythe ensures every machine can authenticate itself without revealing sensitive or proprietary information.

Key Components

• zk-KYD (Know Your Device): Zero-knowledge proof verifying hardware origin, firmware integrity, and controller linkage.

• Operator Binding: Devices can associate their identity with a human or organizational TRIS ID for accountability and lifecycle traceability.

• Provenance Anchoring: Each verified device registration is recorded in the Tythe memory layer, with Merkle roots anchored on-chain for immutable proof of existence and integrity.

Use Examples

• Renewable generators (solar, wind, hydro) verified for legitimate energy production sources.

• Data nodes validated for uptime, performance, and audit compliance.

• Industrial sensors and connected infrastructure verified for calibration and safety.

FAQs

How is zk-KYD different from traditional device registration? zk-KYD binds a device’s unique operational fingerprint to verifiable ownership proofs without exposing serial numbers, firmware data, or network metadata.

Can a single TRIS.org register multiple devices? Yes. Organizations can register multiple TRIS.dev identities under their TRIS.org ID, maintaining hierarchical accountability across fleets of machines.

What happens if a device changes ownership? Ownership transitions trigger re-binding of the TRIS.dev identity to a new operator via zk-KYD reassessment. Provenance remains intact while accountability is transferred.

Can devices be off-boarded or deactivated? Yes. Revoked TRIS.dev identities are cryptographically marked inactive in the DeviceRegistry root, ensuring they can no longer participate or claim TCT.
