Decentralized Licensing Authority (DLA) — Identity & Fingerprint ID Integration (Phase 0 — High-Level)

Document Version: 1.0 Date: August 8, 2025 Author: CrownThrive, LLC — [email protected] Project: CHLOM™ — Compliance Hybrid Licensing & Ownership Model

1. Objective

Define the identity verification and binding mechanisms for the DLA, ensuring that every license issued under the TLAAS protocol is cryptographically tied to an authenticated individual or entity via Fingerprint ID and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

2. Purpose of Identity Binding in DLA

  • Prevent Fraud — Eliminate unauthorized use or transfer of licenses.
  • Ensure Compliance — Meet jurisdictional KYC/AML requirements.
  • Enable Interoperability — Maintain a universal identity standard across LEX (TLaaS), DAL, and external systems.
  • Support Governance — Allow DAO to validate and authenticate license owners during disputes.

3. Fingerprint ID Integration

  • Data Stored:
    • Hashed biometric data (never raw biometrics).
    • Linked DID reference.
  • Verification Workflow:
  • Security Measures:
    • Biometric hashing with SHA-3/Keccak256.
    • One-way encryption — no reverse reconstruction.
    • Consent-based collection with DAO-approved policies.

4. DID (Decentralized Identifier) Integration

  • Data Stored:
    • DID string (e.g.,
    • Associated routing records for payouts and communication.
  • Verification Workflow:
  • Security Measures:
    • DID document version control.
    • Multi-key support for redundancy.
    • Ledger-based verification for transparency.

5. Combined Identity Enforcement

  • License actions require both Fingerprint ID and DID verification.
  • Identity checks occur:
    • At license issuance.
    • Before license transfer or sublicensing.
    • Prior to payout authorization (via DAL).
  • Any mismatch or failure in verification triggers:
    • Immediate action suspension.
    • DAO notification for review.

6. Example Solidity Storage Structure

struct IdentityBinding {
    bytes32 fingerprintHash;
    string ownerDID;
    bool verified;
}

mapping(string => IdentityBinding) public licenseIdentities;

7. Phase Allocation

  • Phase 0 — Define identity data models, verification workflows, and security measures.
  • Phase 1 — Implement Identity Binding Contract with Fingerprint ID + DID storage.
  • Phase 2 — Integrate with DLA’s License Lifecycle and Compliance Enforcement Contracts.
  • Phase 3 — Test biometric and DID verification under stress conditions.
  • Phase 4 — Enable DAO oversight for identity verification processes.
  • Phase 5 — Expand to support multi-chain DID interoperability.

Next Step: Proceed to Document 7 — Compliance Enforcement Flow (Phase 0) for DLA to map compliance checks, jurisdictional enforcement, and violation handling.
