Create Passport
Overview
Create a cryptographically-anchored Passport identity. Every human on HUMΛN has a unique DID (Decentralized Identifier) bound to their devices and controlled by cryptographic keys they own.
What is a Passport?
The HUMΛN Passport is:
Format: did:human:
Example: did:human:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
Human Passports are minted on-device via WebAuthn, then registered with the API. There is no server-side Passport.create() that invents keys for you.
SDK Examples
REST API Example
POST /v1/passports/webauthn/options
Content-Type: application/json{
"name": "Alice Developer",
"personType": "Human"
}
POST /v1/passports
Content-Type: application/json{
"did": "did:human:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"name": "Alice Developer",
"personType": "Human",
"webauthn": {
"registrationId": "",
"credential": {}
}
}
Cryptographic Details
Algorithm: Ed25519 / platform authenticator (WebAuthn)
Key storage: Device secure enclave / platform authenticator — private material never leaves the device
Library: @human/passport (PassportAuth.mint)
Use Cases
User Onboarding
New users mint their Passport as part of sign-up - Passport becomes their permanent identity across all HUMΛN apps
Enterprise SSO
Employees mint Passports linked to company directory - Single identity for all internal agents and tools
Multi-Device Setup
Mint Passport on primary device - Enroll additional devices via device ceremony
AI Agent Identity
Org/agent Passports are created via API after human founders authenticate - Agents prove identity cryptographically in workflows
Security Considerations
DO
Mint Passports via WebAuthn so keys stay on-device
Use PassportAuth / Console for the ceremony — do not invent server-side key APIs
Enable multi-device enrollment for resilience
Set up recovery guardians per Passport recovery patterns
DON'T
Never expose private keys in logs or error messages
Don't treat human login as Passport create — login assumes an existing Passport
Don't create Passports without user consent
