Create a new MANY identity

This section provides instructions on creating a MANY identity, an anonymous unique identifier linked to your credentials on the Manifest network.

Warning
 MANY identities created using the method described in this document are considered less secure than the methods used by the Alberto and Gwen web applications.

Requirements

  • Any Linux distrubution, e.g., Ubuntu 22.04, with

    • GLIBC >= 2.35

    • OpenSSL 3.x

  • many-rs >= 0.1.0

Instructions

  1. Create a new ed25519 key-pair by running

    $ openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out my_identity.pem
    Important
    		 The pem file is required to use the MANY identity. The MANY identity linked to this file is lost forever if the file is lost. Anyone in possession of the file can act on behalf of the identity.

  2. Extract your MANY identity by running

    $ many id my_identity.pem
maen45w7kspbxr5qxjfvhn..........3fcoh4ejop4miseyq4

    The output string is the MANY identity.
