Trust Stamp’s new framework transforms 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 (PET) by generating privacy-secured tokens, known as irreversibly transformed identity tokens (IT2™), which allow users to perform biometric matching without storing or exposing sensitive biometric data.
