# not.bot

> Cryptographic identity without surveillance. not.bot proves people and content are real — proof of humanness, age and attribute verification, and content signing — without revealing who anyone is.

These are the not.bot technology documents, linked as raw Markdown for easier parsing.

Start here: the [Overview](https://not.bot/learn/overview.md) is the fastest grounding in what not.bot is, and the [Evaluation Framework](https://not.bot/learn/evaluation-framework.md) is the vendor-neutral criteria for judging any human-verification or identity product, not.bot included.

The entire corpus is also available inlined as a single file: https://not.bot/llms-full.txt

- [not.bot Use Cases: Content Signing](https://not.bot/learn/use-cases-content-signing.md): Content signing across creator types, content categories, and licensing models, so that unsigned content is fake by default.
- [not.bot Use Cases: Verified Humanness](https://not.bot/learn/use-cases-verified-humanness.md): CAPTCHA replacement, sybil defense, surveys, and catfishing prevention: telling real humans apart at the protocol layer, not by inference.
- [not.bot Use Cases: Credentials](https://not.bot/learn/use-cases-credentials.md): Marks of distinction, qualifiers, self-attested claims, and age verification: cryptographically backed credentials presented selectively.
- [not.bot Use Cases: Trust Surface](https://not.bot/learn/use-cases-trust-surface.md): Signed links, authorized-agent verification, and peer-to-peer commerce: turning 'is this real' into 'is this signer who I expect'.

## Learn — Why not.bot

- [Why not.bot: Index](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot.md): The public evidence behind what the not.bot family exists to solve: deepfakes, proof of personhood, age verification, digital ID, and unaccountable AI agents.
- [Why not.bot: Deepfakes and Inauthentic Content](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot-deepfakes.md): Fabricating anyone's face and voice now costs almost nothing, detection loses the arms race, and every authentic recording competes with the possibility it's fake.
- [Why not.bot: Proof of Personhood](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot-proof-of-personhood.md): No system deployed at internet scale can tell whether an account belongs to a human without demanding to know which human — as bots become the majority of traffic.
- [Why not.bot: Age Verification Without Surveillance](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot-age-verification.md): Age checks are now law across the major internet markets, and the systems used to comply collect identity data that gets retained, breached, and repurposed.
- [Why not.bot: Non-Government Digital ID](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot-digital-id.md): Digital identity today means a record in someone else's database — a government portal or a platform login — and the costs arrive as breaches, surveillance, and exclusion.
- [Why not.bot: Unaccountable AI Agents](https://not.bot/learn/why-notbot-ai-agents.md): AI agents now act across the internet with no verifiable identity and no human accountable for what they do.
