Lisbon, November 26, 2024

We're thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Dock. This collaboration marks a significant step towards creating a future where biometric authentication is not only secure but also private.

Dock is a leader in decentralized identity solutions, empowering businesses to launch ID ecosystems where their partners can create, share, and monetize verifiable digital credentials. By creating an ID ecosystem, companies accelerate customer data matching, boost onboarding and transaction speeds, and enhance overall business efficiency. Dock offers a complete solution with a robust API, an intuitive web app, and secure ID wallet infrastructure, delivering everything needed for decentralized identity management.

The combination of Youverse’s privacy-preserving biometric technology with Dock's powerful verifiable credential capabilities will enable relying parties within closed ecosystems to securely verify consumer data, ensuring that sensitive information remains under the sole control of its rightful owner. Leveraging Youverse's privacy-first architecture, any ecosystem participant using Dock will now be able to verify credential data that is biometrically bound to an individual's unique biometric without ever exposing the underlying biometric information, which remains securely owned by the user's device.

Together, Youverse and Dock are setting a new standard for secure, private, and user-controlled biometric authentication.

“Dock and Youverse are a powerful combination, disrupting the landscape of identity technology.” says Pedro Torres, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Youverse. “I'm thrilled to witness the birth of a pioneering solution that merges privacy-preserving identity credentials with privacy-preserving biometrics, made available at scale for any ecosystem.” adding that “this partnership ensures that all credentials are securely bound to biometric identifiers (meaning that digital identities are safe and secure with credentials only accessible to their owners) while ensuring each user is in full control of both their biographical and biometric data.”
