HIP

HIP stands for Human Identity Protocol.

HIP is a trust and origin verification layer for the internet. It sits above TCP and TLS:

• TCP connects devices.
• TLS encrypts the connection.
• HIP verifies trust, origin, reputation, and risk.

HIP is intended to help users understand whether a website, link, sender, file, app, or piece of content can be trusted. It provides identity verification, origin verification, trust scoring, reputation scoring, signed content verification, risk detection, safety warnings, public lookup, live trust badges, and self-healing rule creation.

Build

dotnet restore HIP.slnx
dotnet build HIP.slnx
dotnet test HIP.slnx

Run

The foundation contains separate API and Blazor web projects.

dotnet run --project src/HIP.ApiService/HIP.ApiService.csproj
dotnet run --project src/HIP.Web/HIP.Web.csproj

The Aspire AppHost project is present as the orchestration entry point and will be expanded as platform dependencies are added.

Status

This repository currently contains the foundation only: solution structure, starter architecture docs, core domain model scaffolding, and first scoring model tests.
