HIGHER EDUCATION
Campus systems where every change carries its author
Universities serve students, faculty, staff and alumni across hundreds of systems, often on shared and personal devices. UniKey gives each high-stakes action, from a grade change to a refund, a signed and verifiable authorization.
THE PROBLEM TODAY
Credentials stand in for permission
Refund and aid fraud
Student refund accounts are redirected after a phished login.
Grade and record changes
A compromised faculty account can change records that follow a student for life.
Research access
Data and compute are shared across institutions with credentials that are hard to scope.
WITH UNIKEY
Actions that carry a Trust Packet
Each one is signed by the party with the authority to take it, and verified before it executes.
-
Disburse aid
Refund and aid disbursements go to the account the student authorized from their device.
-
Change a grade
Grade changes are signed by the instructor of record and kept on the Authorization Ledger.
-
Release a transcript
Students authorize each release, naming the recipient institution.
-
Grant research access
Access is delegated with a narrowed scope and an expiry, verifiable by the partner institution.

Illustrative. The verifier looks up the signer's public key in DNS, checks the Ed25519 signature, refuses a packet it has seen before or one past its expiry, and only then lets the action run.
