Developer Identity & Verification
MeshNativeExchange enforces NIST 800-63B identity assurance levels across all developer accounts — hardware-backed keypairs, multi-factor authentication, and identity-bound app signing.
Identity as the Foundation of Trust
Every app in the Mesh-Native ecosystem is traceable to a verified developer identity. NIST 800-63B provides the framework for this assurance — defining three Identity Assurance Levels (IAL) that govern what a developer can publish, which privacy tiers they can access, and which settlement rails they can invoke.
Hardware-Backed Keypairs
Developer identity is anchored to hardware-backed keypairs using TPM, Secure Enclave, or Android Keystore. Private keys never leave the secure hardware, making identity theft structurally infeasible.
Multi-Factor Authentication
All developer accounts require MFA — biometrics, passkeys, and FIDO2 hardware tokens are supported. Password-only authentication is not accepted for any developer operation.
Identity-Bound App Signing
Developer identity is cryptographically bound to app signing keys. No app can be published without a verifiable signature from a verified developer identity. Unsigned apps are rejected at the boundary.
Key Rotation & Revocation
Signing keys are rotated on a enforced schedule. Revocation propagates mesh-wide in real time — any app signed by a revoked key is immediately quarantined.
Anomaly Auto-Revocation
Session tokens are short-lived and continuously validated. Anomalous behavior triggers automatic revocation — specific detection signals are not disclosed.
Continuous Session Validation
Every API call re-validates the session against the Identity Fabric. Stolen tokens expire within minutes and cannot be replayed from an untrusted device.
Identity Assurance Levels
Developer verification is tiered. Higher assurance levels unlock higher-stakes capabilities — PHI handling, enterprise treasury, and sovereign privacy tiers require the strongest identity proofing.
Identity Assurance Level 1
Self-asserted identity — sufficient for test environment access and sandbox development.
Identity Assurance Level 2
Verified identity with evidence — required for production app publishing and marketplace listing.
Identity Assurance Level 3
In-person or supervised remote proofing — required for PHI-handling apps and enterprise treasury integrations.
DOSFI Sovereignty — Closed Core / Open Surface
DOSFI Core is sovereign and closed. All educational content on this page is generated exclusively from open-surface materials — SDKs, ABIs, documentation, tutorials, examples, and conceptual explanations. Internal details of the DOSFI Runtime, Scheduler, Router, Readiness Engine, Privacy Model, Power/Thermal Model, Vital internals, DIU internals, MNE internals, and Mesh-Native App runtime internals are not revealed, described, or inferred.
No proprietary algorithms, system code, or architectural diagrams capable of enabling replication of the DOSFI Core are published. When internal logic is referenced, only high-level conceptual explanations are provided. DOSFI's sovereignty, mission-lock, and non-replicable architecture are preserved at all times.
