Imagine a digital universe built on simplicity, security and trust
Where you always know who you're talking to or doing business with, whether on the phone or over the Internet. Where you safely enter a building or access a computer without risk to you or your company. Where you protect your privacy and reputation with legally binding proof of every transaction and communication. Where you only need one universal ID in place of your multiple passwords, access cards and PINs.
Identity & Security = Trust
Trust Systems
As a digital society we are required to operate as a "system". Collaboration between systems requires trust. Building trust requires absolute proof of identity and a secure means of transmitting that information back and forth over open and closed channels without risk to the individual or organization. In traditional societies building trust was done face-to-face over a handshake. Today the best means of creating a trust system is by leveraging existing technologies like existing directories, cryptography and biometrics.
Cryptography
Cryptography is complex math that ensures communications and data exchange between systems. Until now, the power of cryptography was limited to only systems but with the advent of biometrics, people have the ability to securely connect and transact in a digital universe. Biometrics provide the ability to unequivocally tie an individual to a system in a fashion that cannot be refuted. This offers the ability to create a trust system that guarantees integral communication and information exchange between not only systems but individuals as well.
Mobility
People move around. From one place to another. One organization to the other. One system to another. A trust system that works efficiently and effectively must be capable of being deployed and used anywhere. Used from any computer. Any building. Any corner of the globe. With portability in hand, a trust system can be created and utilized for an infinite number of activities and transactions thereby allowing individuals to build trust and safely collaborate in a digital environment.
