# InterLink ID Generation Process

InterLink ID is created through a multi-step process that ensures each identity is backed by a real human and resistant to fraud or duplication:

**1. Face Scan**

The user captures a live facial image using their device’s camera as the starting point for identity creation.

**2. AI Deepfake Checking**

The system verifies liveness and authenticity using deepfake detection models, ensuring that the scan is not spoofed or synthetic.

**3. Biometric Hashing**

The validated facial data is converted into a unique biometric hash, a non-reversible representation that ensures uniqueness while preventing identity leakage.

**4. Decentralized Storage**

The biometric hash and associated metadata are stored securely using decentralized infrastructure, ensuring integrity and tamper-resistance.

**5. InterLink ID Issuance**

A permanent, unique InterLink ID is generated and bound to the human user. This ID can be used across dApps, governance systems, and Web3 ecosystems.
