OneID was a digital security service based in Redwood City, California. OneID sold a digital identity system that claimed to provide security across all devices using public-key cryptography instead of passwords. The technology is utilized by non-profits, such as Salsa Labs, to increase the frequency and security of online donations.[1][2] OneID now operates as a subsidiary program of Neustar following its acquisition in 2016.[3]
