Show HN: TideCloak – Decentralized IAM for security and user sovereignty

Hey HN!

After 6 years of R&D, our small team is excited to share our project TideCloak - an IAM designed to help developers move fast without worrying about catastrophic breaches or overpowered admins with keys to the kingdom.

Traditional IAMs rely on centralized authority - admins, root certificates, and decryption keys - which create glaring vulnerabilities in a breach. To address this, we’ve integrated Keycloak (Red Hat’s IAM) with a decentralized key architecture powered by our (academically validated) Ineffable Cryptography.

Here’s the idea: keys are split across a decentralized network (our Cybersecurity Fabric) so no one ever holds the full key. Even in a breach or F$%k up, there’s no unchecked authority exposed.

Right now, TideCloak uses the Cybersecurity Fabric as an IdP, meaning users authenticate without their credentials being stored or shared. Essentially, users bring their own authority - without needing to trust anyone else to keep it safe.

Coming soon: - Identity Governance Administration to prevent super admin abuse. - User-sovereign digital assets, where assets are secured with unique decentralized keys to protect against mass breaches.

We’ve just launched a free developer sandbox, and we’d love your feedback: https://github.com/tide-foundation/tidecloak-gettingstarted

It’s still early stages, and your input will help us improve.

Thanks for taking a look - ask us anything!
