IDENTITY, LOGIN & SECURITY SYSTEM

​

A unified, secure, multi-layer identity system for artists, collectors, institutions, and ARC Coin users.

 

This pillar ensures that every artist, collector, museum, enterprise partner, and ARC Coin wallet holder interacts with the ecosystem securely and seamlessly — whether they’re purchasing art, managing their collection, connecting to ARC TV, or authenticating provenance on-chain.

​

The ARC Identity, Login & Security System is the foundational trust layer underlying every interaction in the ARC ecosystem, from casual browsing to high-value art purchases, token transactions, licensing operations, and ARC TV device authorization. By unifying identity across mobile, web, ARC TV, and blockchain interactions, ARC enables seamless onboarding for viewers, collectors, artists, and institutions while ensuring enterprise-grade security. Multi-factor authentication, biometric login, encrypted ARC Coin wallet access, and zero-knowledge verification protect user assets and personal data, while role-based identities ensure that artists, collectors, museums, and administrators each have the appropriate permissions to operate safely within the ecosystem.

 

For investors, this identity layer represents a critical piece of long-term scalability and compliance infrastructure—essential for building a high-trust, multi-stakeholder digital economy. It prevents fraud, secures provenance, safeguards financial transactions, and ensures that ARC is ready for partnerships with museums, global brands, and enterprise clients requiring rigorous security standards. The system’s integration of AI-driven fraud detection, smart contract permissions, and blockchain-backed authentication transforms ARC from a creative tech platform into a secure, regulated-ready ecosystem. This governance-grade identity architecture de-risks the platform, ensures legal and financial stability, and is a key enabler for ARC’s expansion into global markets.

 

This is the security backbone of the entire ARC ecosystem.

 

1. PURPOSE OF THE IDENTITY SYSTEM

 

ARC Identity exists to:

This is what transforms ARC from “a platform” into a trusted, enterprise-ready ecosystem.
