Universal Identification Number Systems (UUIS) is a globally unique, cryptographically secure identifier system designed for the international classification and identification of all entities, including individuals, organizations, vehicles, devices, and other objects. Each entity is assigned a 256–512 bit identifier, enabling standardized identity management, hierarchical metadata encoding, and cross-sector interoperability.

History

The UUIS project was initiated in 2025 to create a unified and secure global identity framework. Development focused on a robust cryptographic foundation using SHA-3 and elliptic curve algorithms to ensure global uniqueness and prevent collisions. Pilot programs were conducted in multiple regions to validate the system's performance, scalability, and cross-sector compatibility, including traffic management, healthcare, finance, education, and IoT infrastructures.

Technical Architecture

Core Components

1. Identity Module: Responsible for generating, issuing, and managing UUIS identifiers with 256–512 bit cryptographic hashes. Supports hierarchical metadata and sector-specific encoding.
2. Sector Modules: Modular APIs for Traffic, Health, Finance, Education, IoT, and Government entities. These modules ensure interoperability and allow sector-specific customization.
3. Authentication & Access Control: Implements JWT/OAuth2, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC).
4. Data Storage: Uses relational databases for structured data and optional decentralized storage for verifiable credentials and audit trails.
5. Audit & Logging: Cryptographically signed logs record identifier issuance, verification, and system access, ensuring traceability and integrity.

System Workflow

1. Entity registration via sector-specific API.
2. UUIS generation incorporating metadata, issuance timestamp, and optional checksum.
3. Secure storage in database or decentralized ledger.
4. Verification and validation requests using cryptographic proofs.

1. Audit trail recording for all operations.

UUIS Identifier Structure

UUIS identifiers follow a hierarchical and modular structure:

1. Prefix: Defines system type and geographic region.
2. Entity Type: Denotes entity category (PER, VEH, CERT, DEV).
3. Date Stamp: ISO 8601 formatted issuance date.
4. Cryptographic Hash: 256–512 bit hash derived from entity attributes, sector-specific salt, and optional metadata.
5. Checksum / Validation Digit: Provides quick integrity verification.
6. Metadata Encoding: Encodes hierarchical classification, issuing authority, geographic region, and sector-specific attributes.

Example Request
