SenseCrypt introduces a first-of-its-kind face-based public key infrastructure (PKI) and electronic identity (eID) solution. SenseCrypt eID utilizes acts of encryption and decryption for registration and authentication, with no public/private keys stored anywhere. This means that even in the event of compromised keys, no biometrics or personally identifiable information (PII) is at risk.

This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. 7th Sense unveils Privacy-Preserving Face-Based Public Key Infrastructure and EID Solution by CyberWire. Singapore, S.G., September 10, 2024, CyberNewsWire, groundbreaking technology integrates post-quantum cryptography and SSL security for the next generation of face-based EID solutions and face-protected digital public key infrastructure, DPKI, 7th Sense, a pioneer in advanced cybersecurity solutions, announces the launch of SenseCrypt, a revolutionary new platform that sets a new standard in secure, privacy-preserving identity verification. SenseCrypt introduces a first-of-its-kind face-based public key

infrastructure, PKI, and electronic identity, EED, solution. This cutting-edge innovation combines post-quantum cryptography, PQC, asterisk, designed to withstand the security threats posed by future quantum computing, with the trusted SSL technology that secures websites worldwide. As the demand for secure identity verification systems rises, SenseCrypt offers a comprehensive solution that tackles both privacy and security challenges. Transforming QR codes, face-verifiable credentials, and face-protected encryption at the core of SenseCrypt is a fundamental shift in the identity paradigm to the realm of cryptography. Instead of traditional

methods that rely on storing and matching biometrics, SenseCrypt EAD utilizes acts of encryption and decryption for registration and authentication, with no public-private keys stored anywhere. This patented approach generates EADs as encrypted raw bytes, known as SensePrints, which can be printed as QR codes on various identification mediums including ID cards, documents, and birth certificates, or stored in NFC chips or databases. This unique feature allows for offline verification capability, making it adaptable to various environments. Unlike other solutions available in the market, the QR codes generated do not contain any biometric data.

This means that even in the event of compromised keys, no biometrics or personally identifiable information P is at risk, significantly reducing the regulatory and compliance burdens associated with data breaches. Unmatched verification accuracy SenseCrypt has a verification accuracy that ISA matched in the industry, with a false accept rate, far, of zero with a false rejection rate, FRR, of below 1%, less than 1%, asterisk. For governments, ID providers, and security-focused organizations, even a far as low as zone in a million, 1EO6, is unacceptable when performing millions of verifications daily. The foundational features of SensePrints include privacy-preserving and non-biometric. No biometric data is stored biometrically verifiable. Only the ID holder's live face

can decrypt the EAD attributes revocable and renewable. Multiple SensePrints can be generated from the same image and with the SAMA metadata. While users cannot change their face, they can change their sense print offline verifiable. Sense prints can be verified completely offline incomparable and unlinkable. No biometric data is stored, making it impossible to compare and link if two sense prints belong to the same individual group verification capable. A single sense print can verify multiple users irreversible. The absence of biometrics prevents hill-climbing or face regeneration attacks non-repudiable. Each SensePrint is signed by the issuer, allowing verification via the issuer's root certificate public key advancing security with FacePKI.

While SensePrint EAD requires the holder's live face to be present at every transaction, FacePKI allows verifiers to conduct transactions without ever seeing the holder's face or processing any biometrics. This is achieved through the generation of face certificates for specific purposes, such as login, EKYC, and more. These certificates are standard X509v3 certificates that use a face-derived public key, signed by a trusted issuer. OUSER can have any number of FACE certificates, each with a unique public key for specific purposes. FACE PKI not only enhances traditional security measures but also unlocks new potential use cases such as file and document signing, encryption, decryption, EKYC, passwordless login,

proof of presence, secure communication, and multi-factor authentication MFA. Decentralized Identity with Distributed Ledger Technology Protocol, DLT Protocol, SenseCrypt FacePKI supports various scenarios but relies on a central route of trust. For those preferring a decentralized model and identity wallets, self-sovereign identity, the SenseCrypt DLT protocol brings all the capabilities of FacePKI to the blockchain. This innovative protocol enables issuers to verify wallet holders without transfer ring or storing any biometrics on the blockchain or inside wallets, ensuring user privacy through zero-knowledge face proofs. Similarly, verifiers receive cryptographic proof that the wallet's legitimate owner is making the verifiable presentation,

not someone using a stolen wallet. With the NIST standardization of PQC published in August 2024, SenseCrypt Face Peaky supports both FIPS 203 ML Chem Standard and FIPS 204 MLDSA Standard.
