Groundbreaking know-how integrates Publish-Quantum Cryptography and SSL safety for the subsequent technology of Face-based eID options and Face-protected Digital Public Key Infrastructure (DPKI).
Seventh Sense, a pioneer in superior cybersecurity options, pronounces the launch of SenseCrypt, a revolutionary new platform that units a brand new customary in safe, privacy-preserving id verification. SenseCrypt introduces a first-of-its-kind face-based public key infrastructure (PKI) and digital id (eID) resolution.
This cutting-edge innovation combines Publish-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)* — designed to resist the safety threats posed by future quantum computing—with the trusted SSL know-how that secures web sites worldwide. Because the demand for safe id verification methods rises, SenseCrypt gives a complete resolution tackling privateness and safety challenges.
Remodeling QR Codes, Face Verifiable Credentials, and Face-protected Encryption
On the core of SenseCrypt is a basic shift within the id paradigm to the realm of cryptography. As a substitute of conventional strategies that depend on storing and matching biometrics, SenseCrypt eID makes use of acts of encryption and decryption for registration and authentication, with no public/personal keys saved anyplace. This patented strategy generates eIDs as encrypted uncooked bytes, referred to as SensePrints, which might be printed as QR Codes on numerous identification mediums together with ID playing cards, paperwork, and delivery certificates, or saved in NFC chips or databases. This distinctive function permits for offline verification functionality, making it adaptable to varied environments.
In contrast to different options obtainable out there, the QR codes generated don’t include any biometric information. Which means even within the occasion of compromised keys, no biometrics or personally identifiable info (PII) is in danger, considerably decreasing the regulatory and compliance burdens related to information breaches.
Unmatched Verification Accuracy
SenseCrypt has a verification accuracy that’s unmatched within the trade, with a False Settle for Price (FAR) of 0 with a False Rejection Price (FRR) of beneath one p.c (<1%)**. For governments, ID suppliers, and security-focused organizations, even a FAR as little as one in one million (1e-06) is unacceptable when performing hundreds of thousands of verifications each day.
The foundational options of SensePrints embody:
- Privateness-preserving and Non-biometric: No biometric information is saved
- Biometrically verifiable: Solely the eID holder’s stay face can decrypt the eID attributes
- Revocable and renewable: A number of SensePrints might be generated from the identical picture and with the identical metadata. Whereas customers can’t change their face, they will change their SensePrint
- Offline verifiable: SensePrints might be verified utterly offline
- Incomparable and Unlinkable: No biometric information is saved, making it not possible to check and hyperlink if two SensePrints belong to the identical particular person
- Group verification succesful: A single SensePrint can confirm a number of customers
- Irreversible: The absence of biometrics prevents Hill Climbing or face regeneration assaults
- Non-repudiable: Every SensePrint is signed by the issuer, permitting verification by way of the issuer’s root certificates public key
Advancing Safety with Face PKI
Whereas SensePrint eID requires the holder’s stay face to be current at each transaction, Face PKI permits verifiers to conduct transactions with out ever seeing the holder’s face or processing any biometrics. That is achieved by producing Face Certificates for particular functions, reminiscent of login, eKYC, and extra. These certificates are customary X.509v3 certificates that use a face-derived public key, signed by a trusted issuer. A person can have any variety of Face Certificates, every with a novel public key for particular functions.
Face PKI not solely enhances conventional safety measures but additionally unlocks new potential use instances reminiscent of file and doc signing, encryption/decryption, eKYC, passwordless login, proof of presence, safe communication, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Decentralized Identification with Distributed Ledger Know-how Protocol (DLT Protocol)
SenseCrypt Face PKI helps numerous eventualities however depends on a central root of belief. For these preferring a decentralized mannequin and id wallets (Self-Sovereign Identification), the SenseCrypt DLT Protocol brings all of the capabilities of Face PKI to the blockchain.
This progressive protocol permits issuers to confirm pockets holders with out transferring or storing any biometrics on the blockchain or inside wallets, guaranteeing person privateness by Zero-Information Face Proofs. Equally, verifiers obtain cryptographic proof that the pockets’s respectable proprietor is making the Verifiable Presentation, not somebody utilizing a stolen pockets.
* With the NIST’s standardization of PQC revealed in August 2024, SenseCrypt Face PKI helps each FIPS 203 – ML-KEM Normal and FIPS 204 – ML-DSA Normal. https://www.whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-room/2024/08/13/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-continues-work-to-secure-a-post-quantum-cryptography-future/
