Open Protocol · ILI/1.0 · Free Forever

Every Request, Proven.
Every Identity, Owned.

ILI adds a universal cryptographic identity layer to the Internet. No passwords. No logins. Just your ed25519 keypair — and a signature on every request.

A New Layer for the Internet

ILI lives between your application and HTTP — like TLS added privacy, ILI adds identity.

The Protocol in Action

Three new headers turn every HTTP request into a cryptographically proven identity handshake.

Before ILI

GET https://example.app/api/data

Host: example.app
Content-Type: application/json

// Who is this?
// Could be anyone.
// Could be a bot.
// No way to know.
ILI signs

With ILI

GET https://example.app/api/data

Host: example.app
Content-Type: application/json
ILI-ID: did:ili:ed25519:9Wz...
ILI-SIGN: a8d1f2e...
ILI-TIME: 1741222210312

// Identity proven.
// ed25519 verified.
// Level 2 · Score: 480

Five Levels of Trust

Every identity starts anonymous. Attestations elevate the trust level — and what applications allow.

0

Anonymous

Consistent keypair identity. Rate limiting, reputation building, anti-bot — without any PII.

1

Email Verified

OTP via email. Unlocks: account creation, newsletters, communities.

2

Phone Verified

SMS OTP. Unlocks: financial services, two-factor flows, marketplace trust.

3

Legal Identity

KYC / government ID. Unlocks: regulated services, contracts, voting.

4

Enterprise

Business entity verification. Unlocks: B2B APIs, high-value transactions.

How It Works

01

Generate Your Passport

One line of code creates an ed25519 keypair. The public key becomes your ILI DID. The private key never leaves your device.

02

Sign Every Request

The SDK automatically adds ILI-ID, ILI-SIGN, and ILI-TIME headers to every fetch call. The signature binds your identity to the exact request.

03

Verify at the Edge

Servers call /ili/verify or use the middleware. The CF edge validates the ed25519 signature, checks replay protection, and returns the verified identity.

One SDK. Every Platform.

Drop-in for browsers, Node.js, and Cloudflare Workers.

// Browser — CDN delivery
<script src="https://ili-gateway.aalvarez351.workers.dev/sdk/v1/ili.js"></script>

// Generate a passport (stored in localStorage)
const passport = await ILI.generatePassport({ display_name: 'Alice' })
await passport.register()

// Signed fetch — ILI headers added automatically
const resp = await passport.fetch('https://api.example.com/data')

// Or load saved passport next visit
const p = ILI.loadPassport()
// Node.js 18+
import { ILI } from './sdk/ili-js.js'

const passport = await ILI.generatePassport()
await passport.register()

// Sign request headers manually
const headers = await passport.signRequest('POST', url, body)

// Save passport to file
import fs from 'fs'
fs.writeFileSync('passport.json', passport.export())
// Express.js — server-side verification
import { ILIVerifier } from './sdk/ili-js.js'

const verifier = new ILIVerifier({
  apiKey:   'ili_FREE_TEST_KEY_agentesia2026',
  minLevel: 1,     // require email-verified
  minScore: 100,   // minimum trust score
})

// Middleware
app.use('/api', verifier.middleware({ required: true }))

// Access in route handler
app.get('/api/profile', (req, res) => {
  const { ili_id, level, trust_score } = req.ili
  res.json({ user: ili_id, level })
})
// Cloudflare Workers — zero-latency edge verification
import { ILIVerifier } from './sdk/ili-js.js'

export default {
  async fetch(request, env) {
    const verifier = new ILIVerifier({ apiKey: env.ILI_API_KEY })
    const { result } = await verifier.workerMiddleware(request)

    if (!result.verified) {
      return new Response('Identity required', { status: 401 })
    }

    // result.ili_id, result.level, result.trust_score
    return new Response(`Hello ${result.ili_id} (Level ${result.level})`)
  }
}
