Trust Stamp has announced the allowance of a critical patent for its “Interoperable Biometric Representation” framework, designed to enhance biometric interoperability and security. This technology allows for seamless and secure biometric comparisons across different systems and reduces vendor lock-in. By generating privacy-secured tokens, Trust Stamp is advancing its mission of fostering secure, privacy-first identity verification solutions.
Trust Stamp has received approval from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its Non-Provisional Patent Application 17/725,978, titled “Interoperable Biometric Representation.” This innovation tackles the issue of biometric interoperability, enhancing privacy and security in biometric systems, which are key in identification and verification today.
Currently, the lack of standardization among various biometric vendors presents significant challenges. Vendors utilize proprietary data formats, hindering the ability to compare biometric samples across different systems and often leading to vendor lock-in for users.
Trust Stamp’s framework encodes biometric data into a universal format that is privacy-secured. This ensures that biometric samples can be compared and validated across different platforms without requiring changes to existing vendor data processing methods. Additionally, it introduces irreversibly transformed identity tokens (IT2™), allowing users to perform biometric matching without exposing sensitive data.
Scott Francis, the Chief Technology Officer, stated, “Interoperability in facial biometrics is non-existent today, and this patent addresses that gap.” He further elaborated that the framework converts vendor templates into a common format, paving the way for seamless integration and compliance.
Dr. Norman Poh, Chief Science Officer, remarked on the privacy benefits: “This patent not only resolves interoperability issues but also operates within a privacy-preserving, tokenized domain.” The IT2 tokens enable users to obtain and compare biometric data from different vendors without risking long-standing vendor lock-in problems.
This development aligns with Trust Stamp’s aim to promote secure identity verification solutions, fostering financial inclusion and secure cross-platform authentication. The Interoperable Biometric Representation framework signifies a progressive move toward enhancing accessibility within digital identity management.
