As organizations globally race to meet growing consumer demand for privacy-first products, and to comply with ever-expanding privacy regulations, Anonyome Labs has been excelling in the digital identity and privacy space for more than a decade. In that time, we’ve leveraged our deep expertise in security, identity management, authentication and authorization, cloud, privacy, and cryptography to develop an extensive range of market-leading consumer and enterprise products:
- Our MySudo family of consumer applications includes MySudo (all-in-one privacy app), MySudo VPN and MySudo Password Manager (coming soon).
- Our enterprise cyber safety tools including our password manager, VPN, virtual cards, secure ID verification.
- Our enterprise secure communications including our encrypted email, encrypted voice/video calling, encrypted messaging, and encrypted private and public channels.
- Our enterprise open communications that includes our email, phone numbers, voice calling and SMS.
- Our enterprise safe browsing that includes private browser, ad and tracker blocker, and site reputation services.
- Our enterprise verifiable credentials solution including our reusable credentials solution, credential issuance and verification services, and wallet solutions (e.g. we’ve just updated our market-leading wallet SDK).
Our services platform, Anonyome Platform, underpins all our applications and is also the toolkit for enterprise developers to rapidly integrate digital identity services into their own consumer products.
At the heart of our offerings is the Sudo, a secure, customizable digital identity (‘profile’ or ‘persona’) that intentionally differentiates from a consumer’s personal identity and protects their personal data. When a user manages multiple personas (Sudos) they can easily and powerfully compartmentalize (organize) their daily activities for optimal privacy protection. (Read our popular deep dives on compartmentalization as a data privacy protection strategy, why data privacy matters, and what consumers want.)
Underpinning all Anonyome Labs’ success in the market are the 25 patents issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Check back regularly for more additions to this list:
Persona System
Apparatus and Method for Masking a Real User Controlling Synthetic Identities, Patent #: US9,372,987 June 20th, 2016
This patent outlines the design of a persona application and persona services that allow a user to create personas for their own use and where only they know the identity and can operate the personas that they own. The persona services do not have the information to relate users to personas.
Apparatus and Method for Administering Proxy Identities, Patent #: US10,356,052 July 16th, 2019
This patent outlines the design for the persona services. Each user can have multiple personas, each persona fitted with identity attributes such as phone number, email address, virtual payments information, contacts, and avatar, and with capabilities such as communications, browsing, anonymous payments, and reputation. The persona services also allow for a marketplace of personas so that personas can be bought and sold between users.

Apparatus and Method for Cross-Domain Digital Verifiable Credential Exchange, Patent #US12,210,597 Jan 28th, 2025
As digital identity becomes more widely adopted and the number and types of verifiable credentials increases, a new type of compatibility process is required. There is a need for techniques that enable a verifiable credential of one type to be presented, verified, and used to request a credential of another type. This paradigm would enable, for example, a visitor possessing a verifiable credential from a home country to present it for identity verification upon entry into a foreign country and receive a visitor pass credential (e.g., as a verifiable credential) that complies with the rules, regulations, governance model, and credential type stipulated by the foreign country’s governing authority.
Hardware Security Module To Control A Cloud Decentralized Identity Wallet, Patent #US12,450,594 Oct 21st, 2025
Rather than create private keys and perform private key based operations in the operating system, a HSM can instead be used to protect the private key. That is, the private key is generated in the HSM, and calls to the HSM can be made to perform cryptographic operations in the HSM using the private key. This protects the private key. The patent describes use of a HSM both for a cloud based wallet and for a mobile wallet.
Apparatus and Method for Using a Decentralized Identity Verifiable Credential to Authenticate a User in the Open Authorization Framework, Patent #US12,513,145 Dec 30th, 2025.
