The Problem

Your digital identity is broken. Here's why.

Data Breaches

Your personal information is scattered across hundreds of platforms, each a potential point of failure.

Platform Owned

You don't own your digital identity—you rent it from Big Tech platforms that can revoke it at will.

Fragmentation

Your identity is fragmented across countless logins, passwords, and accounts—none of which truly belong to you.

The Solution

One master key. Infinite possibilities.

Imagine having one cryptographic key that unlocks your entire digital life—without giving anyone else control. That's par Noir. A protocol that gives you sovereign ownership of your digital identity.

  • ✓ You own your identity completely
  • ✓ No central authority can revoke it
  • ✓ Works across any platform or service
  • ✓ Private by design, open by nature

par Noir is Your Master Key

How It Works

Your digital identity, your rules. Every time.

Security Architecture

Layer 1: Triple-Component Authentication Your pN requires three components to decrypt: the pN file, your pN name, and your passcode. Without all three, your data remains completely inaccessible.
Layer 2: Encrypted IPFS Storage Your credentials derive an encryption key that secures your metadata on IPFS. The decentralized storage ensures no central point of failure while maintaining complete privacy.
Layer 3: Zero-Knowledge Proofs Cryptographic proofs generated from your encrypted metadata allow verification of facts without revealing underlying data. Prove you're over 18 without sharing your age or birthday.
Layer 4: Permission-Based Access Control Every data access request requires your explicit approval. You control what's shared, when it's shared, and with whom—no automatic data sharing ever occurs.

Real-World Example

Scenario: You want to access an age-restricted platform

  1. You create your pN and attest your birthday to your identity
  2. You use your pN to access the platform
  3. The platform requests: "Prove you're over 18"
  4. You choose to share only the fact that you're over 18—without revealing your age or birthday
  5. Access granted, privacy maintained

What par Noir Does

Three core functions that change everything.

Sovereign Identity

Your identity lives with you—not on corporate servers. One key unlocks your entire digital life.

Zero Knowledge

Prove facts about yourself without revealing the underlying data. Age verification, qualifications, and more—all without exposing personal information.

Social Recovery

Lost your key? Your trusted network can help you recover—without anyone having control.

The Future We're Building

A world where identity serves humanity, not corporations.

The Semantic Web

Your data becomes truly portable, working seamlessly across any platform or service that respects your sovereignty.

AI That Serves You

Personal AI assistants that know you intimately but are controlled by you entirely—no corporate surveillance.

Internet of Trust
