A U.S. patent for TECH5’s groundbreaking digital ID verification system has been published.  The patent covers the innovative methods for issuance, storage, and real-time verification of digital identity credentials, as well as selective disclosure of both biometric and biographic data of the credential holder.

This pioneering technology introduces a transformative approach to identity verification by integrating live biometric authentication with a decentralized, verifiable credential stored and presented as a 2D machine-readable code or a digital file (Verifiable Credential – “VC”). The patented system enables secure real-time identity verification without dependence on centralized databases or continuous internet connectivity – unlocking trusted interactions in both online and offline environments.

Credentials can be stored in standard formats such as W3C VCs, and their decentralized use supports the development of digital identity infrastructure aligned with Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) principles.

“We continue to innovate in the field of decentralized identity because we believe in building inclusive infrastructure that empowers every individual to participate in the digital ecosystem in a secure and private manner. There is still work to be done to create truly trustworthy digital IDs that are accessible to all. The method and system described in this patent bring us one step closer to that goal. This technology serves as a core building block for decentralized Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), where digital identity becomes the foundation of trust.”– Rahul Parthe, Co-founder, Chairman, and CTO at TECH5.

This patent further reinforces TECH5’s visionary commitment to supporting countries in accelerating their digital transformation through the development of sovereign DPI. By enabling decentralized and offline operations, the technology ensures universal inclusion, while delivering infinite scalability, robust security, and privacy-preserving interactions. Its integration into DPI offerings strengthens financial inclusion by expanding access to banking, credit services, and secure digital payment ecosystems.

Key features of the patented technology include:

  • Live biometric verification: it utilizes biometric data (e.g., facial image, fingerprint, iris, palm, voice etc.) for identity binding and verification by generating and storing biometric templates or a unique, stable “bio-hash” that can be used in identity verification.
  • 2D machine-readable code-based credentials: identity information is encrypted or signed and stored in a machine-readable 2D code that can be printed on physical IDs or stored digitally.
  • Decentralized architecture: it operates in both online and offline environments, removing dependency on centralized systems and enabling usage in remote or low-connectivity regions.
  • Selective data disclosure: the technology enables granular control by allowing users to share only specific pieces of information (e.g., age, name) with verifiers through shard-based decryption keys (where the decryption key is split into multiple parts (shards) and distributed among different entities or locations).
  • Blockchain integration: the technology ensures tamper resistance and auditability by optionally storing biometric templates and key shards on a permissioned blockchain.

Today, TECH5 has its digital ID system based on this technology tested and adopted by a number of governments for its National ID projects. This system is available for TECH5’s certified partners worldwide.

The company is now actively working on implementing its solution for decentralized DPI in various countries in Africa and Latin America. This solution includes TECH5’s digital ID system and relies on the approaches described in this patent.

TECH5, an innovator in the field of biometrics and digital identity management, launches its Biometric Derived Keys (BDK) technology called T5-AirKey. T5-AirKey is an innovative BDK technology that uses biometrics to derive keys that can be used to perform cryptographic operations like digital signing and encryption.

This technology provides significant advantages by addressing the vulnerabilities inherent in the conventional and most widely used approach of storing and using static biometric templates for matching, whether on devices or in databases. The BDK functionality is achieved by generating a unique, random irreversible ephemeral key from a fresh biometric capture of face, fingerprints, or any other biometric modality. This real-time key is based on the user’s biometrics, yet revocable, enables encryption and signing of sensitive data, eradicates the need for biometric template databases (honey pots), and eliminates man-in-the-middle attacks and diverse security vulnerabilities. It can not only be used to securely authenticate the user but can be also used for encrypting sensitive data that can only be unlocked by the owner with their biometrics. It can also replace the need for seed phrases required by many digital wallets – one of the biggest reasons for people to lose crypto assets. It will also enable better biometric approaches in IAM systems and passkey-like solutions.

T5-AirKey is designed to address the most pressing challenges of legacy biometric systems, associated with using static biometric templates for matching, either stored in databases, device, or alternatively stored and presented in traditional 2D barcodes like QR codes. This technology mitigates risks such as template exposure for replay attacks, reverse engineering templates to generate face images or identifying traits like gender and ethnicity and overriding match results produced by the probabilistic matcher.

Additionally, the technology eliminates the need for additional encryption during storage and transmission, or complex distributed template storage and matching computation systems. It can be easily combined with other cryptographic technologies to achieve post-quantum cryptography-proof solutions. T5-AirKey can be used in verifiable credentials (W3C VC) stored in digital wallets or embedded in codes, not only enabling encryption but also facilitating selective disclosure by encrypting different claims signed using different modalities of the same person.

ISO 30136 guidelines address biometric template protection, requiring revocability, non-reversibility, non-linkability, and protected matching. However, most existing solutions fail to fully mitigate risks associated with stored templates. “TECH5’s Biometric Template Protection technology meets ISO 30136 compliance by encrypting raw templates. T5-AirKey goes a step further by ensuring that no templates are ever stored, eliminating static data vulnerabilities.” – Comments Rahul Parthe, TECH5’s Co-founder, Chairman and CTO.
With T5-AirKey, TECH5 completes its technology offering for identity management systems, delivering a comprehensive response to modern identity threats while specifically tackling legacy challenges that continue to affect many biometric systems.

“We are proud to launch this groundbreaking suite of technologies that revolutionizes the use of biometrics in cryptographic operations, identity verification, and secure data sharing, offering unparalleled privacy, flexibility, and fraud protection. We look forward to seeing companies implement it and achieve a new level of security in identity management. We are also looking forward to the impact it will have on Digital ID and Digital Public Infrastructure projects globally.” – Says Mr. Parthe.
