Dock and Youverse Partner to Advance Private and Secure Biometric Authentication

Published
November 26, 2024

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Youverse, a pioneer in privacy-preserving biometric solutions.

Youverse is redefining biometric authentication with its innovative, decentralized, and zero-knowledge architecture. Unlike traditional centralized databases, Youverse’s approach eliminates the risks associated with storing sensitive biometric data in a single location. Their cutting-edge technology, independently certified as top-tier for accuracy by international benchmarks, ensures unmatched levels of privacy, accuracy, and trust. Using multi-party computation, biometrics are securely distributed across nodes and only reconstructed on the user’s device, enhancing both security and convenience.

Through this partnership, Youverse will leverage Dock’s verifiable credential capabilities to empower relying parties within closed ecosystems to securely verify consumer data, ensuring that sensitive information remains under the sole control of its rightful owner. Any ecosystem participants using Dock will now be able to verify credential data that is biometrically bound to an individual’s unique biometric while never exposing biometric information which is securely owned by the user’s device.

Together, Dock and Youverse are setting a new standard for secure, private, and user-controlled biometric authentication.

Stay tuned as we work to revolutionize identity verification with our combined technologies.
