Self-service registration

Request a credential.

Generate an ed25519 keypair in this page, download the credential file, then submit the public half for review. An operator approves or refuses; approval creates your client, grant, and initial authority. Nothing here is instant: the queue is human-decided.

Credential boundary: the seed is generated by this page and must be downloaded before you submit. It is never sent anywhere: the request carries only public key material, and the shell stamps its own time on the filing.

01 / Generate

Generate a keypair in this page

Pick an application and key name, generate, then download the credential file. The secret half exists only in this page until you save it.

Lowercase letters, digits, dot, underscore, hyphen; must start and end alphanumerically. At most 64 characters. Your client ID becomes client-<application> on approval.

Names this key within your credential. Same character rules, at most 128 characters.

02 / Request

Submit the public half for review

Available after the credential file is downloaded. The filing carries no secret: application, key, contact, and initial subjects only.

How the operator reaches you about this request. Stored with the request; never published.

Approval seeds these into your roster as self-controlled, with admission policies authorizing your key. Only these subjects can carry your trust input until more are granted.
