Announcing the Trust Identity Protocol (TIP): HTTPS for the AI Era
TL;DR. The Trust Identity Protocol (TIP) is a free, open, post-quantum-secure, patent-protected standard for verifying human identity and AI content provenance on the public web. We built it at The AI Lab Intelligence Unobscured, Inc. (theailab.org) and released it openly under CC-BY 4.0. Two million identities and content registrations are live today. The full specification, governance documents, and reference implementations are public. This post explains what TIP is, why we built it, how it works, and how you can integrate it today.
The trust crisis you are already living through
In 2026, you can no longer trust a single text, voice call, photo, email, or video on the public internet. AI can fake all of them. Perfectly. In under one second.
This is not a marketing line. It is the operational reality every platform, publisher, employer, journalist, family member, and government is now adapting to in real time.
