Biometric Verification

‘Bring your own biometrics’ Secure biometric data against fraud and AI deepfakes with verifiable credentials

Biometric verification without the risk of having to store biometric data

Biometrics were supposed to solve the problem of passwords. But if a password is stolen, it can be reset. If biometrics are stolen or faked using generative AI, they become an existential threat: You can’t reset someone’s face.

With Indicio Proven, biometric data can be bound to a verifiable credential so that verifiers do not have to store the biometric data to authenticate it.

This also protects against generative AI deepfakes.

• Capture a person’s biometrics in a template during identity assurance and issue the template as a verifiable credential.

• The person presents the verifiable credential when they use biometric authentication and the verifier compares the two to make sure they match. The verifying party records validation and discards the template for simple data privacy compliance.

• No centralized biometrics database is required for authentication.

• Authenticity and integrity of biometric details are cryptographically provable.

• Provides a quick, simple, low-cost way to defend against generative AI deepfakes.

• No loss of biometric verification process benefits.

• Consent is architecturally required, making data protection compliance easy.

Bringing your own biometrics reassures public over biometric privacy and security.
