The protocol, made visible.
Bonafide is infrastructure — normally invisible, the way TCP/IP or TLS are. The clearest way to see what it does is to look at a product built on it. MyCrypt, our family vault, is the first product on Bonafide; these are its advanced screens, where the protocol underneath comes into view. MyCrypt is designed to peek into a user's vault only as far as their policy allows — never the data itself.
Aliases and a sovereignty ladder.
One cryptographic identity presents different aliases depending on context — @alice for personal, @alice.work, @ali for social — each tied to a focus, none linkable to the others without the user's say-so.
And authentication is a ladder the user climbs at their own pace: start with email and a recovery anchor MyCrypt holds, then move recovery offline, escrow it with a provider, or graduate to a hardware-backed key that not even MyCrypt can access. The gentle path and full sovereignty are the same system.
Devices, institutions, and an escape hatch.
Every device holds the vault at a different tier of trust — a phone's hardware enclave reaches further than a web session. Institutions peer in through scoped, time-bounded leases: a tax service reads only your receipts, for twelve days; a bank browses only its own branch. They hold cached policy — what they're allowed to reach — never your data.
And the bottom of the screen is the line competitors can't match: a portable export to an open file you can read with a standalone tool, no MyCrypt required. The escape hatch can never be revoked.
