Crypto / Wallet Authentication

Another traditionally difficult aspect of establishing identity in the world is the presentation of identity documents such as drivers license and passport. This process has long been difficult for consumers, and surprisingly a bare minimum approach. Crypto users are already accustomed to providing physical IDs (most commonly passports) but these documents are usually subject to lengthy, error-prone manual review.

authID provides powerful authentication for asserting ownership of crypto wallets, first by creating a firm foundation of identity, validating ID documents and self-images, then matching the two definitively. Going forward, wallet owners can securely access their funds while locking out pretenders. Crypto practitioners are also commonly very privacy-minded, making authID the perfect solution. We have options for storing only the user’s biometric hash, and when necessary not even that. authID has the ability to employ a PKI structure in which the platform stores only a public key, with the private key recreated with each authentication request for a secure match, using facial biometrics, then promptly destroyed. Privacy, security, and assurance for the crypto ecosystem, only from authID.
