Password-free and efficient identity "pass card": Design concept and practical path of Internet Identity
The verification of identity and privacy protection in the on-chain world has always been a real issue faced by both developers and users.
Log in to open Internet service platforms without the need for a username or password, eliminating concerns about the availability and security of authentication, allowing for easy access and communication in the online world. This is the important feature that Internet Identity provides to users in the Web3 era, enabling them to freely use online services.
In an era where blockchain is rapidly flourishing, major public chains are quickly deploying various lifestyle and scalable features, aiming to meet users' experiences in different sectors such as finance, entertainment, and social interaction. At the same time, identity verification and privacy protection in the on-chain world have been persistent issues faced by both developers and users. When we conduct transactions or participate in social chats, will exposing our identity and leaving important information traces cause troubles in our real lives?
As a result, DFINITY has taken the lead in exploring a free, open, and efficient on-chain interaction system focused on privacy rights in the Web3 era—Internet Computer. On the day the IC mainnet officially launched, the DFINITY Foundation also introduced the native authentication framework Internet Identity, corresponding to the underlying cryptographic technology Chain Key of the IC network, as a new paradigm for user privacy protection and identity verification in the decentralized era.
The design of Internet Identity is made possible by the Internet Computer developed by DFINITY. IC is a blockchain computing platform that extends the functionality of the public internet. To avoid the security issues associated with password verification on traditional Web, IC implements appropriate password verification. To simplify the complexity of password verification for users on IC, Internet Identity uses the user's unique identity as a "passcard" to authorize access to applications. Each user's login frontend generates different identifiers that are not tracked, fully ensuring privacy and autonomy. This authentication framework combines Web Authentication (WebAuthn) and IC's proprietary cryptographic technology Chain Key, supported by solid technical foundations.
At this point, you might be curious about the design philosophy and practical path that Internet Identity follows to become a promising authentication feature in Web3. The DTalk Live Event Episode 6, held on October 12 (Wednesday) at 8 PM in TinTinLand, is an opportunity to deeply explore the development journey of Internet Identity. The guest speaker for this live session is Teacher Guo Liang, the head of a leading technology company in the IC ecosystem. He is not only proficient in various technical development languages but also a seasoned professional with over 10 years of game development experience. With a wealth of practical insights from the IC ecosystem, Teacher Guo Liang will share the charm of Internet Identity with us.

We have invited Teacher Guo Liang to bring a cutting-edge technology sharing themed "Design and Implementation of Internet Identity." He will start from the historical context of blockchain to provide an in-depth understanding of the development overview and technical architecture of the Internet Computer. He will then introduce the design ideas, creation steps, core code, and subsequent optimization mechanisms of Internet Identity, leading everyone to comprehensively grasp the DFINITY identity system. Here is the outline for this thematic sharing:
I. Introduction to the Historical Context of Blockchain Development
Highlights from the 2002 IC Summer Ecosystem Summit
Key points from the 8th Wanxiang Blockchain Summit
II. Introduction to Internet Computer Features
Understanding the basic situation of the IC network through IC scan and IC dashboard demonstrations
Feature introduction
III. Design and Implementation of Internet Identity (II): Comprehensive Mastery of DFINITY Identity System
Design goals of II—about Anchor, about devices, about mnemonic phrases
Steps for creating an internet identity
II implementation logic and core code
Introduction to Agent-Js
IV. Subsequent Updates and Optimization Plans for Internet Identity
After the sharing, Teacher Guo Liang will also interact with the audience in the live broadcast room. We welcome all development enthusiasts to actively engage with the guest and discuss the key technologies for identity verification and confirmation in the rapidly developing blockchain era!
Participation Method
This event will be live-streamed on the Zoom platform and broadcasted on YouTube. Both the host and the guest will share in the Zoom live room, while users can participate in watching and interacting through YouTube.
We look forward to your enthusiastic questions before and during the live broadcast. The Q&A session of this live event will select questions from community inquiries collected during the promotional period, as well as questions submitted by users in the YouTube comment section during the live broadcast! TinTinLand staff will synchronize in real-time, as long as you ask sincerely, you may receive thoughtful answers from Teacher Glen, quickly getting hands-on experience with the design and implementation of Internet Identity!
In the future, Internet Identity will continue to refine its technological development, linking multi-device authorization settings to meet users' diverse and multi-terminal functional needs. This also lowers the entry barrier to IC for those who have never been involved in the crypto space, as users can easily access Web3 anytime using facial recognition and fingerprint recognition on their devices, enabling smooth and effortless interactive operations.
Take this opportunity for an intimate encounter with Internet Identity, unlocking new opportunities for user identity verification and privacy protection in the Web3 era. Achieve more convenient application access and in-depth experiences on the Internet Computer, embracing the new sensations that digital virtual identities bring to our on-chain world.
