Freemasonry
Freemasonry consists of fraternal groups that trace their origins to medieval guilds of stonemasons. Freemasonry is considered the oldest existing secular fraternal organisation, with documents and traditions dating back to the 14th century. Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of three main traditions: Anglo-American style Freemasonry, Continental style Freemasonry and Women's Freemasonry.
Mark Masonry
The Order of Mark Master Masons is an appendant order of Freemasonry that exists in some Masonic jurisdictions, and confers the degrees of Mark Mason and Mark Master. The name “Mark” comes from the practice of stonemasons marking their work to identify it, a tradition that dates back to ancient times. Many famous buildings, such as cathedrals, still display the marks of the masons who built them.
Royal Ark Mariners
The Royal Ark Mariner degree is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, rite in Masonry. The Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Royal Ark Mariners exists worldwide. It is based on the legend of Noah and the Great deluge, an event of such importance as to have impressed itself on the religious dogmas and rites of all the nations which have succeeded it. Evidence is found in the annals of every people.
Master's Digital ID'. A NFC Identity Card
The Mark Master's identity card is made of plastic and contains a secure cryptographic chip that communicates with compatible devices (such as smartphones or dedicated readers)
using Near Field Communication (NFC).
Card authenticity is verified through the LegitimId® service, which validates
the cryptographic response using secure keys and protocols. This approach makes unauthorized duplication or impersonation highly difficult.
The QR code printed on the card requires multifactor authentication.
Master's Digital ID'. A NFC Identity Card (obverse)
Instead of storing readable personal data, the card securely stores and exposes only cryptographic identifiers. During each interaction, it generates a unique authentication response, helping prevent replay or cloning attacks. The system is designed in line with established guidelines such as those published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
OpenID authentification. SSO with smartphone
Patents related to LegitimId® technologies describe authentication mechanisms that eliminate the need for users to recall passwords and/or usernames. Implemented via the OpenID Connect protocol, these solutions support Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, enable secure and streamlined access across a range of web-based interfaces, including identity verification, event participation, library services, and related applications. Only one login through Single Sign-On (SSO) is required to maintain authorized access to web services over an extended period.
