Identity
mID & Sovereign ID: keys you hold
Why this band exists
Sign-in with a Big Tech IdP rents your presence monthly and can revoke it overnight. Remade Identity is keys you hold and capabilities you sign: device-bound identity verified in process, so access is a signature you control instead of a session cookie pretending to be you.
Why now
"Continue with Google" won because OAuth was easier than explaining public keys on a Friday. It also wrote a generation of apps that die when the IdP has a bad day. Neighborhood mesh, Home Computers, and OEMs need a door that checks itself without phoning a campus.
How it fits
Memory keeps the durable capability list. Edge puts mID on the chip. Mind and Media only open for signed callers. Trust audits the crates that implement the door. Identity is the latch every other star assumes is honest.
Stars in Identity
Each crate is open under Remade-With-Rust. Open the repo, then the field note, then compose with the rest of the sky.
mID · replaces central IdP cookies
Device-bound identity & verify
Sovereign ID · replaces Sign-in with Big Tech
Sign in with keys you own
mata-oem-sidecar · replaces vendor device cloud SKUs
Drop-in mID for hardware OEMs
rusty_esp_mid · replaces vendor device IDs
mID on the chip
What to build first
- Web sign-in with Sovereign ID and zero infra verification calls
- Services that verify did:mata tokens in-process with mID
- OEM images that wake with mata-oem-sidecar instead of a vendor cloud account
Field notes in Identity
Sign in with MATA: mid-verify Checks the Key on Your Side
DLDeploy signs people in with MATA through mid-verify 0.2.1. The check stays on the server, with no JWKS fetch and no call back to an identity provider.

Pure Rust Alternative for central IdP cookies
mid is the Rust alternative to central IdP cookies, protecting user data from landlord-controlled session auth. The PHP interpreter is not on this path.

Pure Rust Alternative for Sign in with Big Tech
sovereign-id is the Rust alternative to Sign in with Big Tech, protecting user data from rented identity that can revoke your users. The PHP interpreter is not on this path.

Pure Rust Alternative for vendor cloud device identity portals
mata-oem-sidecar is the Rust alternative to vendor cloud device identity portals, protecting user data from rented IdP session cookies and landlord-controlled login.

Your Login Should Not Belong To Someone Else
Sign in with Big Tech is a lease. mID and Sovereign ID put keys you hold on the door so identity survives the company, not the campus status page.
