About

GRIDNET Token

This app serves as an authorization tool for a decentralized operating system. It allows users to scan QR codes for tasks, manage digital wallets, and perform secure data exchanges using advanced cryptography and onion routing. It also displays user balances and synchronizes with the network.

Highlights
  • QR Intent scanning
  • Wallet generation with master-private-key
  • State-of-the-art cryptography
  • Onion-routing data exchange
  • Verification of GRIDNET-OS operations
  • Local computational tasks
  • User balance display

Read full description

The app has been designed to serve as an authorization app for tasks performed within the decentralized GRIDNET Operating System. The default view is the augmented reality view in which QR Intents may be scanned. Major capabilities are catered around scanning of QR Intents and processing of these. The app allows to generate a new wallet along with a master-private-key comprising a key-chain. Despite its simplistic looks, the app supports state-of-the art cryptography data-exchange and routing capabilities including onion-routing. It may verify arbitrary operation done in GRIDNET-OS. It may also respond to data-queries and perform various computational tasks locally, directly on the mobile phone at the request of GRIDNET-OS. Such inquiries would typically be a result of user's activity either in Web-UI or Decentralized Terminal Interface (DTI over SSH). The app allows to view details of the activity which is to be confirmed on the decentralized state-machine. Sample computational scenario would include generation of multi-dimensional token pool. The token pool would be stored securely on the mobile phone while assets are released by responding to consecutive QR Intents. These assets may be used for arbitrary off-the-chain transactions, including rewarding for data-storage and exchange directly or indirectly (apps running within the Web-UI). Encryption and authentication among communicating peers are employed at all times. The app reports current user's balance and maintains connectivity with the decentralized GRIDNET OS virtual machine to account for changes. Future updates are to include the functionality of issuing transactions directly from the mobile app. Simple usage: 1) First, set-up your wallet by generating a new private/public key pair - it takes just a single tap, then confirm by holding the virtual fingerprint sensor for a few seconds. 2) The app would automatically attempt to connect with the GRIDNET OS decentralized network and synchronize account's balance. 3) Long-Tap the GRIDNET Halo to switch to standby mode in which the augmented reality view is not active. 4) Scan an QR Intent describing operating which are to be confirmed. 5) The Intent's details view would pop-up automatically with a general description. To see some of the details swipe left/right. 6) When ready confirm changes by holding the Virtual FIngerprint Sensor. 7) The app would prepare a cryptographic signature of the operations and deliver these to machines comprising the GRIDNET OS decentralized network over an encrypted and authenticated Onion-Routed connection. 8) The status of operation (connection, tunneling, processing etc) would be constantly displayed to the user within the UI as a progress bar containing textual information. After the operation is complete or failed (for whatever reason) user may retry or close the pop-up.

About

Keya Authenticator

Your passwords alone aren't enough. Every account worth protecting deserves a second lock, one that never phones home. Keya Authenticator generates secure one-time codes for any site that supports two-factor authentication, with no account to create, no server to trust, and no subscription to cancel. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every secret you add stays in the iOS Keychain, encrypted, locked to your device, and invisible the moment your screen goes dark. Keya Authenticator has zero network entitlements, so it physically cannot connect to the internet. NEVER RACE THE CLOCK Most authenticator apps leave you scrambling when a code is about to expire. Keya shows you the next code before the current one runs out, so you always have time to type it in. BIOMETRIC UNLOCK Protect your codes with Face ID or Touch ID, with a PIN fallback always available and automatic lockout after repeated wrong attempts. EASY TO SWITCH Moving from another app is painless: import directly from Google Authenticator, Aegis, 2FAS, Raivo, andOTP, or LastPass, or just scan any standard QR code. ENCRYPTED BACKUPS Export your entire vault as an AES-256-GCM encrypted backup and store it anywhere you like. No cloud account required. OPEN SOURCE Every line of code is publicly available on GitHub under the GPL v3 license, so you can read it, audit it, or build it yourself. That's what trust through transparency actually looks like. FREE, FOREVER There are no ads, no subscription, and no freemium tricks: every feature is available from day one. A voluntary tip jar is the only way to support development, and it's entirely optional. WORKS WITH EVERYTHING Google, GitHub, Apple, Microsoft, Dropbox, Amazon, Discord, and hundreds more: any service built on TOTP (RFC 6238) or HOTP (RFC 4226) works here.
