Very soon, in 2018, the canadian startup SecureKey is going to launch blockchain-a platform through which residents will be able to pass the authentication to government services, on the sites of banks, mobile operators, and many others, using your smartphone.
The identification service is developed by experts SecureKey based on blockchain technologies from IBM and created in order to help people to verify their identity where it is needed, using a smartphone or device on Windows. This can help to speed up many processes, freeing staff and their customers from unnecessary hassles.
For example, people decided to arrange on credit and left your cell phone in the feedback form. In response from the Bank he receives a request for access to personal data. The client confirms it, and the Bank receives the necessary information, bypassing the long queues, checks and delays.
According to the representative of SecureKey, a distributed registry does not hold data through a Central platform that allows you to protect it from hackers.
“Through this system the customer is easier to prove that it is he, and therefore the chances of the attackers pretend to be someone else be less,” — said the head of SecureKey Greg Wolfond.
The project is already supported by some major banks and mobile operators. In addition, the SecureKey managed to find a few large investors who agreed to co-invest in the development of $ 24 million.
