kin LIB

Iothic kin LIB provides a Continuous Proof of Trust network for your heterogenous network by embedding Iothic kin LIB inside your native Windows, Linux, Mac, iPhone or Android devices

Software products that handle machine-to-machine communication still rely on something stored: a certificate, key, token, shared secret, or service credential. Those objects have to be issued, protected, rotated, audited, and revoked. When they expire, spread, get copied, or are misused, machine trust becomes both an operational burden and a security risk.

kin lib is an embeddable API library that handles the machine-authentication event using kin’s Continuous Proof Trust framework. Machines, workloads, agents, services, gateways, and devices prove themselves dynamically instead of relying on a stored credential as the centre of trust.

Your platform, policy engine, logging stack, customer workflows, and deployment model stay in place. kin lib handles the proof.

Installation is:

  1. Statically link kin LIB to your Linux / Windows c/c++ app

  2. Embed static calls listed in iothic.h into your c/c++ program

  3. Run your app / software as normal, now protected with Iothic's kin CPT


Devices are brought online as known entities using a one-time post-quantum ML-KEM-based key exchange.

1. Provision


Each device is assigned a user-defined digital DNA: approved hardware profiles, software profiles, configuration states, and shared histories.

2. Define DNA

How kin works


A trusted mesh participant acts as a validator. Communicating devices and the validator participate in a live proof process, making trust harder to spoof, replay, or centralize.

3. Mesh authenticates


Authorized devices independently derive session-specific AES-256-GCM keys. No keys are stored or exchanged. Operational keys are never treated as reusable credentials.

4. Keys derived per session

DEPLOYMENT OVERVIEW

IOTHIC creates secure, decentralized trust between devices, systems, and users.

Built on post-quantum cryptography and Zero Trust architecture, Iothic securely provisions, authenticates, and authorizes devices without passwords, shared credentials, or centralized trust dependencies.

The result is trusted communication across connected systems, today and in a post-quantum future.

TECH SPEC SUMMARY

Every trusted connection requires continuous verification.

Iothic enables devices to mutually authenticate and establish encrypted communication channels that remain continuously validated throughout every session.

Using session-specific encryption and cryptographic validation, communications are protected from interception, impersonation, and unauthorized access. Trust is not assumed at the start of a session—it is continuously verified as devices interact.

The result is architecturally enforced protection that maintains secure, trusted communication across decentralized environments through Continuous Proof Trust.
