QiD uses advanced neuromorphic processing to generate a unique, irreversible numerical sequence — a “QiD ID” — from a simple selfie taken in a web browser. The company says no app installation, enrollment process or biometric template storage is required. According to aiQ, the identifier is not assigned but “discovered,” repeating consistently whenever the same person is presented and remaining stable throughout their lifetime. This marks a departure from digital identity systems that rely on assigned credentials such as ID numbers, account numbers, SIM cards, passwords or cryptographic keys. The identifier cannot be transferred, copied or counterfeited. Every QiD session sees both passive and active liveness checks to prevent replay or presentation attacks, and the system also estimates a user’s age for age assurance. A typical session takes under three seconds, aiQ says, adding that QiD could enhance digital inclusion by helping individuals with few or no formal credentials access services. Accessibility features such as voice‑to‑text can reduce friction for users who struggle with traditional forms. QiD has also developed design tools and an implementation sandbox to help governments and service providers integrate QiD into digital public infrastructure workflows.
