ADVOCACY
of global losses. People are affected, as there is
currently no such thing as a global digital identity
for individuals. Let alone an identity that connect
the physical, digital and virtual realms; that work
with everything and provides privacy for the person
it identifies. This leads to people having multiple,
disparate accounts, usernames and passwords and
identification devices, resulting in their identity
being stolen and their privacy being eroded. All
these diverse identification and interaction methods
just complicate our world and instead of providing
a seamless integrated experience further divide
interactions into silos.
The root-cause of these problems is the inability
to identify and have trust in who or what you are
interacting with while understanding the context
of all the entities in the transaction chain. Single
unified identification of people and objects is one of
the key challenges that will have to be dealt with as
the world becomes more digitised.
Innovative integration
Integrating people and things securely into the
IoT brings into focus two key areas where identity
is needed: the need for the identity of users of
IoT systems; and the need of a definite identity
"identity" for devices or things. Existing technologies
are targeted at one or the other of these needs
because of their strengths but also because of their
limitations. Hive Technology’s One ID technology is
an innovative approach that has the capabilities that
are required for both application areas. For personal
identity applications the Hive One ID technology is
configurable and can adjust to different application
requirements depending on how the environment
is configured. The same identity can deal with any
identification requirement. The important advanced
applications of this technology is the ability to
establish ownership and exclusive personal control
of owned IoT devices.
Another important differentiator is that the Hive
One ID technology can be applied to all possible
levels of integration where competing technologies
are only available if integrated into highly
specialised chips. These capabilities are already
available at chip level and can be easily added onto
an existing board. Hive One ID can also integrate into
multi-chip packages while integration within a single
IoT device custom chip will be possible in the future.
Authentication mechanisms
The unique identifiers that are generated by the
One ID Technology provide an immutable identity
that is required to enable a deep root of trust for
all personal internet connections as well as for IoT
devices. This enables "truly" random cryptographic
key sequences that can be used to implement the
hardware based authentication mechanisms needed
in new and future technology solutions. The threat
landscape is too severe to implement IoT devices and
IoT solutions with less-complete defences.

Single Identification Technology
Also, given that all IoT edge device defenses will
be broken during typical product lifetimes, this
core identity is essential to enable highly secure
remediation of compromised edge devices through
over the air updates.
The One ID technology can further be
differentiated by its ability to not only transmit
identification data but also providing the address
where the data need to be updated to. Each ID can be
configured to transmit the data to a IP address stored
on the single identification regardless of which
reader the data is read by or where, enabling global
identity. The single identification has a number
of pages of data that can be made available under
different rule based conditions to different
IP addresses.
Trusted data sets
Unique secure single identification of objects
and people provides the opportunity to create a
trusted data set about the object and person greatly
alleviating some of the horizontal integration and
data duplication problems currently experienced.
This trusted data set can be maintained by various
role players for example national identification data
can be maintained by government, while medical
data can be maintained by medical service providers
and financial data by banks but the person can
make this data available when appropriate using the
permission and or context based security possible
with Hive One ID technology.
One example relates to when a person gets
admitted to a medical facility: when the person is
present with the single identification at a specific
location, the admissions counter in this case, the
person will automatically get a message on their
mobile phone to authorise that the data required
can be made available and choose, if not previously
defined, on what basis the data could be used.
In other cases, the data can automatically be
made available according to predefined rules purely
based on presence. Similarly, payments can be made
using the same identification or data can be made
available from this trusted source for compliance
purposes and more.
Single identification technology without exposing
private data provides governments and cities with
data that can be used to greatly enhance energy
efficiency, public safety, disaster management
and more. Similarly, the single identification
technology can be manufactured into virtually
any product with existing electronics giving the
product a unique identification and the ability to
communicate with manufacturers across its entire
life cycle wherever readers are available.
Impending SMART solutions that touch every
aspect of our world clearly require a secure single
wireless or ambient identification system that will
identify objects and people in both the digital and
physical world, thereby integrating all technology
interactions into a seamless experience.
