Our digital and physical lives are increasingly linked to the apps, services, and devices we use to access a rich set of experiences that are made up of everything we say and do in our lives. Currently, our identity and all our digital interactions are owned and controlled by other parties, meaning you have no control over how it is used and preserved. As a result, security could be jeopardized.

So, we need a new form of identity, one that weaves together technologies and standards to achieve key identity attributes such as

  • Self-ownership
  • Censorship resistance
  • Greater assurance of immutability

which is difficult to achieve with existing systems. In this blog, we have understood that MOI ID delivers these identity attributes by seamlessly integrating into our lives and giving us complete control over how our identity and data are accessed and used.

So, to comprehend, MOI ID is a combination of diverse packages, like personal, collateral, social, transactional and reputational identities etc. For the same reason, MOI ID introduced an entity called “Digital Me”

Digital Avatars of real-time behaviours using MOI ID

As shown in the above image, in real life, a person behaves differently in different situations, for example, he/she will interact as a “Father/Mother with their children” or “Professional with his/her colleagues”, or have different tastes for assets like “car or home” or show different interests in different sports, all by bringing desired preferences to that situation without compromising privacy on other behaviours but with complete freedom.

Similarly, MOI ID with the help of Digital Me lets the user have different behaviours over the network by intelligently identifying and structuring the user preferences based on their digital footprint.

In Digital Me, user digital information is categorized into Personal, Social, Financial, Health and Security dimensions. Here is the process of building it.

  1. Create a DID(Decentralized Identity).
  2. Update information under different dimensions.
  3. Get the information verified with Trusted Third Party.
  4. Choose desired verified/non-verified credentials(like Name, DOB, any Digital Asset etc) required for the interaction.
  5. Here the interaction can be Physical or through a Digital application, in the latter case user should give consent to a bunch of attributes that the application requires.
  6. Make an interaction using those attributes either through the digital application or in person with others over the network.
  7. When the interaction is completed, MOI has this contextual attribute associated with the user(participant in the network) that grows over time, similar to experiences and memories in real-time.
  8. This contextual attribute enables the user to customize the following:
  • Trust Level (A user may want to consider a variable trust factor for security while either buying a house or a cup of coffee).
  • Storage Preferences (A user may want a choice in how they store their private keys or other confidential information rather than letting the application handle this choice).
  • Computation Preferences (A user may want to utilise custom computation flows such as the use of sophisticated AI Models to analyse complex data patterns).
  • Value (A user may want to trade their time instead of financial tokens or currency for the purchase of goods and services).

Digital Me helps you build your digital self with all sorts of information and helps make Context-specific Interactions to exchange ONLY relevant information with the help of Digital Avatars.

With this sort of customization under multiple dimensions, MOI ID enables human-like interactions that enable the user to have different behaviours where the technical term for the same is Digital Avatars with complete freedom.

Follow the steps mentioned in this blog, to create MOI ID. In our next article, we will see this more in action. Stay tuned!
