Decentralized Identity for Developers¶

Cryptographic commit signing with Git-native storage. One identity, multiple devices, no central authority.

Git-Native, No Blockchain

Identity data and attestations are stored as Git refs under refs/auths/. Your ~/.auths repo is the single source of truth. No database, no central server, no chain -- just Git.
Multi-Device Identity

Create a stable did:keri identity and link your laptop, phone, and CI server via signed attestations. Every device signs as you. Revoke a lost device in one command.
Verifiable Everywhere

Embed auths-verifier via WASM, FFI, or native Rust. Verify attestation chains in browsers, CI pipelines, and backend services -- no network call required.

Install¶

cargo install auths-cli

This installs three binaries: auths (main CLI), auths-sign (Git signing program), and auths-verify (verification tool).

Tip

See the full Installation guide for platform-specific keychain setup and pre-built binaries.

Quick Tour¶
