Disclaimer: I am not affiliated nor part of OFID team. I was only hired to manage their bounty campaign and when I learned that their marketing isn't active and developers barely respond to my follow ups, I immediately removed the bounty campaign which only lasted for 4 days. Payment for my service from this project that supposedly during the whole campaign got returned as well (payment was on hold via escrow). Though developers can't be contacted, I am still in touch with all participants and doing my best to answer all and explain the situation. Thank you for understanding and once again I am apologizing and thankful to those who expressed their help for 4 days.

We put forward a bottom-up approach to digital identity, a system includes users, service providers and validators.
 
This is what allows digital identity networks to form within their natural boundaries, serving constituents in the ways that suit them best. This is the best way to a global blueprint for digital identity to emerge.

Very interesting concept and roadmap, it's nice to know that Asians are participating in the development and growth of cryptocurrency in this region I'll definitely take part in bounty if they are going to set up one this is the kind of project worthy to promote.

we are going to launch a Bounty campaign very soon.

Can I help you translate the ANN Thread to Indonesian?If needed in my linguage.
Hopefully your project in success.Thank you

Interesting project, great roadmap plan with a great team, do you have a bounty campaign program for OFID project dev? if any i am interested to participate in this project.

Thank you for your interest.

Hope you can join our bounty by writing articles in Indonesian.

Bounty campaign will be available in a while. For now, we would like the community to see what's the project all about  :)

We are trying to build the safest platform for IDV.

How does OFID differ from other blockchain based identity systems?

Quite a few difference:

1. OFID number
The OFID platform issues a OFID number to every user. Each OFID number is mapped to multiple identity addresses. Each identity address is used solely to correspond with one service provider.This methodology ensures that user identity is not comprised by identity theft even through data mining.

2. Bi-directional Signature
Bi-directional Signature is a confirmative proof that both parties have approved the signed content.
a. To mark the consent of both parties. When the User submits the signed PII, a certificated validator signs the data again to verify the validity of the data.
b. To form a correspondence between addresses. The data validated on an application corresponding to an address under the same OFID number can be used on an application corresponding to another address under the current OFID number without having to re-validate it.
c. To correspond an anonymous blockchain address to a real name OFID address. Attributes such as skill, character, and quality etc. lack official certification. However, the OFID platform allows public to recognize and confirm such attributes of a user. OFID allows multiple users to endorse a single user. In such cases, there would be multiple Bi-directional Signatures on the same content. In this way, an unofficial verification and evaluation system can be established.

3. The Double-Layer Public Key Structure
The existing technology that protects data on the Internet is mainly dependent on discrete algorithm logarithm problem. However, the rapidly increasing computational power of quantumcomputers combined with the shor algorithm can crack the current public-key cryptographyschemes. It means the current encryption algorithms are no longer safe. This is where the double-layer public key structure comes to the rescue. Leveraging this double-layer public key structure,the OFID platform has upgraded the existing encryption algorithm to implement the latest securitystandards, effectively resisting external attacks.

4. Trusted Computing
The most vulnerable segment of the verification system is the management server. Identity data is stored on a distributed cloud. If a separate node is hacked, it will not affect the Identity data.However, if the management server is hacked or invaded, the data will be lost. Trusted computingoffers a perfect solution to this challenge.
Trusted computing is a paradigm aimed at enforcing trustworthy behaviour on computing platformsby identifying a complete ‘chain of trust’ and a list of all hardware and software that has been used.This chain of software can then be compared to a list of known ‘good’ applications.


5. Distributed Storage
Many organizations store the confidential data like PII in their data centers and storage areanetworks. However, data centers are the most vulnerable elements in an organization. When asecurity breach occurs on the storage server, sensitive data gets into the hands of the attackercausing huge losses to the organization and people. This is where distributed storage comes to the rescue.

Distributed storage system has adopted secret sharing scheme which is widely used to split secret data into various different kinds of pieces and stored at different locations. To retrieve this data, you should gather the plural pieces and construct that data. This method is known as Shamir’s (k, n)threshold scheme. The main idea is to split a secret S into n pieces (shares) for storage. To retrievethat data, a number of k pieces should be gathered for reconstruction. This theoretic securityfurnishes information that even if an attacker collects shares as far as they are less than the giventhreshold being represented by k, then they cannot get any information.

6. Open Algorithms (OPAL)
The OPAL project is an advanced model that aims at creating an extensive list of available data tobe inspected and analyzed without violating personal data privacy. Open Algorithms paradigm involves moving algorithm to the data and implementing at the data repository location so that the unprocessed data is never out of its repository. Only cumulative answers are reverted. Anothermain aspect is that the algorithms must be scrutinized by experts to be “secure” from any privacy requirement violation.
In future, OFID aims to use the open algorithms pattern to facilitate sharing of more rich information by the participants in the ecosystem. The OFID platform eventually shifts from an attributes-based unidirectional model to a richer algorithms-based interaction.

Hello all! Bounty thread for OFID is now available! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2601132.msg26466610#msg26466610

A very interesting project I like with the idea of OFID, because OFID aims to build a personal data ecosystem, which users can completely control their digital identity and privacy online. hopefully it goes as planned. best regards dev. :)

Thank you for your support. We are trying to build a very solid foundation for the IDV ecosystem.

OFID CEO Richard Liu previously worked at IST, and engaged in the design of Chinese ID certificates for Chinese government. He has rich experience in IDV system.

Nice information, is very important in a project with an experienced CEO and a solid team. OFID will be a good project.

Yeah, Not only Richard, but in our team we have many veteran entrepreneurs of Internet companies.  :)Have a look at "Our Team" session on www.ofid.io

One of OFID's co-founders - Alex Yi, previously worked at PDX Technologies Inc., iSoftStone Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: ISS), Tarena International Inc. (NASDAQ: TEDU), and ASIAINFO-LINKAGE, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASIA).

OFID's advisor, Andrew Dong, has 15 years industry experience in software industry and 4-year experience on the distributed system research. He has run the different blockchain projects, including financial product settlement, property management, supply chain, anti-counterfeit etc. He also worked as a research fellow in Macquarie University in P2P and distributed system. He is a joint inventor of IBM's XML data cache patent. He has a BSc. degree in computer science from Peking university and MPhil degree in distributed system from the University of Sydney.

at last the bounty campaign is released, and i will participate on that to more promote a very interesting project.

Looks cool and promising.

Wow project which is very classy and attractive. Going to many who follow this project. Let's get success with this project.

Let's get started!

welcome and welcome!

Thanks for your support

If from my vantage point ofid project is a very good, the idea of the project ofid it’s really sparkle..i really like the with idea of the project ofid, it is with planning is very mature. I’m very supportive OFID committed to build a personal data ecosystems, whose users can actually in control of the identity of digital and privacy online personally. I was so excited to follow the project ..i very much hope this project will draw many investor..succes ofid

projects that are very good in my opinion,because the present is indeed very necessary the user can completely control the digital identity and online privacy..I'm sure this project will be a success, this project has the concept idea is a very interesting idea for me.. with a team that is professional I'm sure this project will get a lot of investors..

Great we have your support!We put forward a bottom-up approach to digital identity, a system includes users, service providers and validators.
This is what allows digital identity networks to form within their natural boundaries, serving constituents in the ways that suit them best. This is the best way to a global blueprint for digital identity to emerge.
OFID has the following approaches to secure your data:
1.   RMS security model secures remote attestations.
2.   The security of user data is handled by TEE.
3.   Storage function is managed by distributed cloud. Verification data is sliced into pieces and stored on distributed cloud.
4.   In the Relayer system, whitelist can be traced back to the trusted root certification authorities. At the same time, whitelist is isolated from user’s privacy data.
5.   End-to-end encryption ensures that data is transferred securely between endpoints. All messages are encrypted by receiver’s public key.

That's why we call it "the Future Platform for Your Identity Assets" with Blockchain, Trusted Computing, Open Algorithm Technologies.

OFID is different from all the other IDV systems in that we are trying hard to make personal data safe.

I think do not have to think long to join this project, a very good idea to follow, I really like the roadmap and detailed information provided, very professional, hopefully run well

Thank you for having your confidence on OFID!

OFID number:

it is very exciting to join this project, it is very promising and has a very good roadmap, I hope this project becomes one of the successful projects in the future, and have a good progress

Let's go ahead!

They have a great roadmap but I'm still confuse because there are a lot of ICO occur recently.
How can I'm explain for new investor about this project OFID, what's the advantage that OFID have but other well known ICO doesn't have ?

However, the OFID platform allows public to recognize and confirm such attributes of a user. OFID allows multiple users to endorse a single user. In such cases, there would be multiple Bi-directional Signatures on the same content. In this way, an unofficial verification and evaluation system can be established.

Blockchain is not enough for a trustworthy identity environment. OFID introduces trusted computing to gain maximum benefit from the hard-to-alter characteristics of hardware. Also OFID will migrate our solutions in line with the open algorithm.

I watch every single point has been explained in lengthy and detailed posts already. There is no question about the potential which this project has at technical sides but my question is about the economical side. What team has planned to help the value of token to be sustained or to prevent it from devaluation in the period when development will be going on. There is big and long roadmap to achieve the goals.

YES, we accept new registrations, you can have a look at our Bounty Thread and official website:

This one is a good read about what our project is!  :)  https://medium.com/@ofidplatform/the-ofid-idv-platform-5238d2f51c54

How are you gonna implement TEE?

You have OFID number and say it's great! Are you kidding on us? You have ID! ID! Guys! Are you going with ID that is just a number (just a number!) to compete with others projects? Sounds good. Sounds very good.
And what about OPAL? Oh you say OPAL is such a beautiful project! The project is doing by commecial organizations that aimed to get money, not spread their algorithms. The algorithms are not ready and who knows will they be realized or not.

I see your comments where you're trying to tell us how cool your guys are. But your guys don't show us really great product. Obviously you campaign is aimed to getting money from ICO. Even your site is focued on getting money.

So don't fool us guys. Just say that you wanna as much money as you can to get.

You're proud about your contracts written on Go. And what is this? Just a bunch of text storing on GitHub.

So I don't see any value in your "product" except your loud words about how great your team is.

Just another bla-bla-bla project. It's really sad.

Hi, this project is already discontinued and I didn't agree with some of their terms that led to termination of the bounty campaign and whole support. The project doesn't have structure enough and they cancelled their payment to me.
