Pricing for Self

Self is a secure messaging platform for ID and credentials, instead of monetising identity data we charge you to send and receive the data securely across our network. In Self data requests are called checks.

"We believe that identity belongs to the person it relates to, so we don't charge for it, we empower users to verify their own identity material and we deliver value by enabling it to be securely shared with a relying party. There are no levels of ID check in Self. ID is binary, and we always gate our checks with real-time biometrics, so you know exactly who you are dealing with."

FAQ

What is an identity and authentication network, and why do I need it?
It's a system that helps verify who your users are (identity) and control what they can access (authentication and authorisation). It saves development time, improves security, and can help you meet compliance requirements.
How do I integrate Self into my application?
Follow the links to try now, or head to our documentation to be taken through the process of integration. It's simple and quick with plenty of examples and code snippets to help guide you.
How does Self handle security?
- End-to-end encrypted communication between devices uses Message Layer Security (MLS) end-to-end encrypted communication between devices.
- W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) allow users to securely assert and demonstrate claims about themselves and others.
- Self is underpinned by a robust, tamper-evident and W3C Distributed Identifiers (DIDs) compliant Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) allowing for realtime management of keys and their revocations.
- Self Leverages a number of insudtry standard and accredited ciphers, signature schemes and cryptographic functions, such as Ed25519 (FIPS 186-5), SHA3 (FIPS 202), AES 256 (FIPS 197) and Curve25519.
- All actions are authenticated via signature, with real time key revocation to ensure you are always making up to date decisions.
- Keys are held securely in an on-device encrypted wallet. Usage of keys are gated via biometric checks.
Can I manage and customise user data?
Yes. You can store user profiles, roles, and custom fields with the user's permission. But Self is designed to protect you and users by replacing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) like names and emails with a non-correlatable SelfID, with the PII distributed to the user to store in their phone. It means your dataset is safer and outside of regulation.
How does multi-factor authentication (MFA) work?
Self is already a biometric MFA solution, so you don't need to integrate or pay for external methods like TOTP, SMS or push.
What languages and frameworks are supported?
Self supports:
‍Backend: Golang, Java,
‍Mobile: iOS, Android

Quickstarts, examples including app examples for mobile and SDKs are provided for each.
Can I customise the login and sign-up experience?
Yes. We allow you to use your own UI and UX in all but a couple of screens. You can also use and customise UI elements we release as Open Source components.
What happens if the network goes down?
Self is highly available and deployed to global infrastructure, it has been designed to be resilient and reliable. You can also implement fallback strategies based on your needs.
