The Sovereign Access Constant (C_sa) is an innovative and universal open standard designed for passwordless and zero-knowledge authentication for both internet and device access. This standard represents a significant advance in digital security by replacing static secret storage—typified by passwords and tokens—with ephemeral keys generated during real-time interactions between users, devices, and time.

Key Features

Elimination of Stored Secrets

C_sa eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with stored secrets, such as passwords and recovery keys. By utilizing ephemeral keys that are generated only during a secure resonance event, the risk of breaches from credential databases is drastically reduced. This visionary approach ensures that there is no persistent tracking or potential for coercion.

Technical Foundation

The standard is mathematically established and specifies a functional constant:

C_sa = ∮ f(φ, ω, τ)

Where:

• φ (User Entropy) represents a non-stored, volatile behavioral or biological signature (e.g., unique touch patterns).
• ω (Hardware Resonance) is the device's unique identity rooted in its silicon-level properties.
• τ (Temporal Decay) guarantees that the key expires within milliseconds, nullifying replay or harvesting risks.

Secure Handshake Process

The process for authentication follows a systematic handshake sequence, which includes:

1. Challenge - The server sends a nonce to the user's device.
2. Local Precipitation - The device computes the access key in temporary memory.
3. Key Creation - An ephemeral access token is generated.
4. Verification - The server checks the token's validity without accessing sensitive user data.
5. Grant & Erasure - Access is granted for the session, followed by immediate key destruction.

Multi-Device and Multi-User Support

C_sa facilitates authenticity across multiple devices and users. Each unique user-device pair generates a distinct key, keeping personal data secure while allowing designated access to common library resources. In guest mode, devices can operate within a restricted environment, enhancing privacy.

Ethical Standards and Non-Coercion

C_sa strongly emphasizes ethical compliance, establishing a non-coercive framework for access to essential human services. The standard protects against using the authentication mechanism for access-based coercion, ensuring individuals cannot be subjected to arbitrary demands based on compliance.

Call to Action

The project invites developers, hardware partners, and operating system distributors to engage with C_sa, advancing this secure access standard through software prototypes, browser extensions, and future kernel integrations.
