Trust Stamp has received a patent approval for its Interoperable Biometric Representation framework, which enhances biometric data interoperability. This innovation allows secure comparison of biometric samples across different vendors, eliminates vendor lock-in, and uses tokenization to protect sensitive data. The framework signifies a major leap towards more secure and accessible digital identity management.
Trust Stamp has announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed its Non-Provisional Patent Application 17/725,978 for the “Interoperable Biometric Representation” framework. This innovation aims to enhance biometric security by addressing the interoperability challenges that currently complicate the use of biometric systems, which are essential for identification and verification processes across various sectors.
Biometric technology is increasingly adopted for secure identification, yet interoperability issues persist due to proprietary data formats used by different vendors. These formats create vendor lock-in situations, where users become dependent on specific companies for biometric services. Trust Stamp’s framework offers a solution by converting biometric data into a universal, secure format, promoting seamless validation across diverse systems.
The “Interoperable Biometric Representation” framework allows for efficient comparison of biometric samples from different vendor systems without changing how biometric data is typically processed. The technology also features Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET), utilizing irreversibly transformed identity tokens (IT2™) for secure transactions that don’t expose sensitive data.
Scott Francis, Trust Stamp’s CTO, states, “Interoperability in facial biometrics is non-existent today, and this patent addresses that gap… eliminating the need for proprietary conversions.” Dr. Norman Poh, the Chief Science Officer, adds that the patent enhances privacy while combating vendor lock-in issues, thereby fostering better customer relationships and security.
This development aligns with Trust Stamp’s vision of improving secure, privacy-centric identity verification solutions, facilitating secure financial inclusion, and advancing a more accessible digital identity ecosystem. Trust Stamp, a global leader in AI-powered identity technologies, is committed to enhancing operational efficiencies and reducing fraud across several sectors.
