Trinsic Launches Reusable Identity Powered by Verifiable Credentials and Passkeys
Summary
The recent rise of AI-generated media, age verification, and trust and safety online are all driving the need for better forms of digital identity. Trinsic Connect’s one-click verification is optimized for use cases when a business needs trusted data, but is hesitant to introduce friction into the user experience. For example: • Verified profile: Marketplaces, content platforms, and social apps use Trinsic to authenticate a user’s listed name matches the name printed on a government-issued ID. Utilizing standards like decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs), Trinsic creates a privacy-preserving identity where users can prove things about themselves without needing to “phone home” to the issuer of the data. Businesses that wish to use Trinsic Connect can gain access to hundreds of thousands of currently verified users plus upcoming integrations with government eID schemes.
