About UIP
Building the future of digital identity through biometric authentication and self-sovereign control
Our Mission
Universal Identity Protocol (UIP) is revolutionizing digital identity by putting control back in the hands of users. We believe that identity should be portable, secure, and owned by you—not corporations or governments.
Through biometric-first authentication and cryptographic security, we're building a world where passwords are obsolete, identity fraud is impossible, and every digital interaction can be verified and trusted.
Core Values
Privacy First
Your biometric data never leaves your device. We use zero-knowledge proofs to verify identity without exposing personal information.
Global Access
One identity that works everywhere. No borders, no barriers. Verify yourself anywhere in the world with the same UIP identity.
User Sovereignty
You own your identity. No company can revoke it, no government can control it. Your identity belongs to you, forever.
Our Technology
Biometric-First Architecture
Every UIP identity starts with biometric enrollment on a mobile device. Using advanced fingerprint and face recognition technology, we create a unique cryptographic keypair that represents your digital identity. This key never leaves your device, ensuring maximum security.
Government ID Verification
Through our partnership with Veriff, users can verify their government-issued IDs to unlock advanced features like legally binding signatures and cross-border business transactions. This creates a bridge between traditional identity systems and the digital future.
Universal Protocol Design
UIP isn't just another identity platform—it's a protocol. Like HTTP revolutionized information sharing, UIP aims to standardize digital identity across all applications, services, and borders. One identity, infinite possibilities.
Leadership
Dlovan Sharif, Founder
I created UIP out of frustration. I was tired of managing multiple emails with different passwords, constantly needing to go through password resets. Meanwhile, banks in Sweden controlled digital identity with their insane pricing, and BankID was restricted to government apps only. That's when I thought: why not just create a universal identity that works everywhere? One identity for all digital services—no passwords, no restrictions, no corporate gatekeepers. That simple idea became UIP.
