(Note: this is our soapbox - so be prepared for some profundities and philosophical musings.)
At Glynx, our goal is to enable everyone to control their online identities. To enable everyone to control the identity information held about others and that which others have about the owner.
We are concerned about individual liberty - and about freedom of identity, freedom of online association, freedom from observation and freedom of information exchange.
These are strong beliefs stimulated by common frustrations experienced in the online world today.
Recognising that existing centralized and standards-based web and telephony architectures give rise to these frustrations, we developed the Glynx platform as social communication platform which addresses these concerns.
Glynx provides a simple, secure, identity management layer that works peer-to-peer across web and telephony networks. It gives users the absolute freedom to control their own identities, their relationships with others and associated information on-line. With the four basic freedoms of identity embedded in the Glynx architecture (rather than imposed by technical, legal or corporate constraints), we expect to stimulate innovation in new network, content and community applications.
Glynx gives users the freedom to locate each other and exchange information with whomever they choose, whenever they choose, without fear of observation or interference. And users can always trust the source and content of the information exchanged.
We believe that this is the model for successful future web and mobile communications.
We introduced Glynx in response to existing communications products and services which cannot readily scale, cannot handle identities in a user-centric way and require intermediaries who often co-opt shared information for their own purposes.
Glynx's patented and patent pending technologies allow new identity based information systems using this new paradigm. We aim to provide a range of applications and services on top of the Glynx platform - that are only possible when exercising the freedoms inherent in the platform
For example, our first application is the Glynx contact manager which enables users to share private contact information directly between each other avoiding the risks inherent in the central storage of this sensitive information at a web service company.
We anticipate that Glynx will stimulate industry-wide innovation and entrepreneurship in a wide variety of social communications areas.
Glynx is a small development start-up located in Melbourne, Australia.
Glynx's founders have successfully started, developed and run public and private registry businesses, telecommunications firms and internet startups since 1999.
Since 2002, we have been focusing on the benefits of a totally distributed, user-centric, directory architecture and user-centric identity management system for which we have developed a portfolio of patents.
