NFID Wallet uses strong security methods, employs strict policies to protect your information, and leads the industry in using decentralized network security technologies for your data.
Data categories and encryption
The table below provides more detail on how your data is protected for users who create an NFID Wallet today.
Data category | Storage |
Email address | Encrypted in third-party data center |
Passkey metadata | ICP smart contract canister |
Chain-key delegations
User authentication occurs by using a session key (e.g., Ed25519 or ECDSA) to create a delegation chain that allows the session key to sign for the user's main identity.
When self-sovereign mode is enabled, delegation identities are generated client-side and are one of the internet’s most secure authentication protocols.
Only a delegation identity is able to access the wallet.
About third-party data centers
When processing data stored in a third-party data center, private keys associated to email addresses are accessed only by NFID Wallet software running on secure servers, and only while conducting the necessary processing.
If self-sovereign mode is enabled, users will still have access to their NFID Wallets even if third-party data centers cease to exist.
