This experiment brings together researchers on both sides of the Atlantic iRespond and SICPA to test security features of European digital signatures and privacy-preserving biometric tools in order to showcase verifiable credentials across geographic boundaries
The verification mechanism should be secure seamless preserving data-privacy inclusive and meet different levels of assurance requirements This is achieved with the collaboration of the iRespond team that provides its digital identity solution which primarily relies on iris tokenized biometrics while protecting the privacy of the participants iRespond also guarantees that the solution built during the experiment is aligned with the expected levels of privacy This project has focused on 2 main aspects: how to authenticate using privacy-preserving biometrics systems and how we could rely on cloud wallets to manage our identity and thus supporting more inclusive SSI solutions A video demonstration showing the inclusive verification of cross-border digital credentials can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhY6sdf9CeA
