Trust Stamp announces allowance by USPTO of non-provisional patent application

Trust Stamp (IDAI) announces an innovation in biometric security with the allowance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of a patent application for its “Interoperable Biometric Representation” framework. This disruptive advancement addresses the critical challenge of biometric interoperability while enhancing privacy and security. Biometric-based identification and verification systems are widely used today, but their adoption and universality is hindered by a lack of interoperability. Different biometric vendors use proprietary data formats, making it impossible to compare biometric samples across different systems and potentially locking enterprise and government users into legacy vendors. Trust Stamp’s new framework solves this issue by transforming biometric data into a universal, privacy-secured format that enables seamless biometric recognition and validation across platforms. This enables biometric samples from different vendor systems to be compared and validated without requiring changes to the way that vendors routinely capture or process biometric data. Furthermore, the system functions as a Privacy Enhancing Technology by generating privacy-secured tokens, known as irreversibly transformed identity tokens, which allow users to perform biometric matching without storing or exposing sensitive biometric data.
