Identity verification firm authID has launched PrivacyKey, a solution that allows biometric authentication without storing facial data, addressing privacy concerns that have slowed industry adoption. The technology creates and immediately destroys private keys during user verification, maintaining only public keys for future authentication, the company said.
The Denver-based company says the platform processes verifications in 700 milliseconds with a one-in-one billion false-match rate. The release comes as more states and countries enact laws limiting biometric data retention.
“We’ve never stored any biometric data that could be reverse-engineered into a face. Today we’re innovating even further to satisfy even the most stringent compliance concerns,” said Rhon Daguro, authID CEO. “By leveraging technology that retains no biometric artifact whatsoever, authID provides secure verification that enterprises can trust.”
