How Dentity Protects Your Privacy

Privacy is the first thing people worry about when they hear “blockchain identity.” And for good reason.

Most platforms still collect and store personal data. That creates a single point of failure—and a massive security risk.

Dentity takes a different path. We let you verify your identity while staying in control of your personal information. No central databases. No unnecessary exposure. Just cryptography, encryption, and user choice.

No Centralized Storage

Centralized identity platforms rely on databases that can be hacked, leaked, or misused.

Dentity eliminates that risk by not storing your data centrally at all. After verification, credentials belong to you alone. Each wallet is partitioned and encrypted so there’s no “honeypot” of data waiting to be breached.

Instead of trusting a company to guard your data, you never hand it over in the first place.

Selective Disclosure

Most systems force you into an all-or-nothing tradeoff. You hand over everything, even if a service only needs one fact.

Dentity works differently. With selective disclosure, you can prove you’re over 18 without sharing your full birthdate, or confirm your income without revealing your tax return.

This is powered by BBS+ Signatures, a cryptographic technique that proves facts without exposing unrelated details.

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

Traditional identity relies on central authorities to manage who you are. That means risk—and dependence.

Dentity uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). They’re cryptographically generated, controlled entirely by you, and not owned by any company.

Paired with ENS, DIDs let you link your verified identity to a human-readable name without revealing personal data.

End-to-End Encryption

Every interaction with Dentity is fully encrypted. Even if data is intercepted, it’s unreadable.

Your information stays private not just at rest, but in motion.

Built on Standards You Can Trust

Dentity isn’t reinventing privacy—it’s raising the bar by building on global standards:

W3C Verifiable Credentials & DIDs – for tamper-proof, cross-platform identity• Loss of control: once you hand over personal information, you cannot decide how it is stored or shared

OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect – for secure logins

ENS + DNS – bridging blockchain and the web

Advanced Cryptography – BBS+ signatures and selective disclosure proofs

Privacy Compliance – aligned with GDPR, CCPA, NIST, ISO 27001

ENS Without Exposure

Linking your identity to an ENS name shouldn’t mean giving up privacy.

With Dentity, ENS can confirm a verified identity without ever seeing your personal details. Applications only get cryptographic proof—not your data.

You’re in control of what gets shared, when, and with whom.

Why It Matters

Most identity platforms make you choose between security and privacy. Dentity doesn’t.

We put you in control. You decide what to reveal. Data stays encrypted. Identity is verified, not exposed.

This is how blockchain identity should work:

Secure

• Private

• User-controlled

No unnecessary exposure. No blind trust in central authorities. Just a system that works for you, not against you.
