Revolutionizing Security with SenseCrypt: A New Era of Face-based eID Solutions

Seventh Sense, a leading cybersecurity innovator, has launched SenseCrypt, a groundbreaking platform designed to redefine secure, privacy-focused identity verification. SenseCrypt introduces a unique, face-based public key infrastructure (PKI) and electronic identity (eID) solution, marking a significant leap forward in digital identity security.

• SenseCrypt's core innovation lies in its integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which is designed to withstand the threats posed by future quantum computing, and the robust SSL technology that secures websites globally. This combination forms a comprehensive approach to address both privacy and security concerns, particularly critical as the demand for secure identity verification systems continues to rise.

Transforming QR Codes, Face Verifiable Credentials, and Face-protected Encryption

SenseCrypt shifts the identity paradigm towards a cryptography-centric approach, moving away from traditional methods reliant on storing and matching biometrics. This revolutionary system leverages encryption and decryption for both registration and authentication, eliminating the need to store public/private keys.

• The eID in SenseCrypt, known as SensePrints, are generated as encrypted raw bytes, which can be printed as QR codes on various identification mediums like ID cards, documents, and birth certificates, or stored in NFC chips or databases.
• SensePrints allow for offline verification, enhancing adaptability across diverse environments. Moreover, these QR codes are devoid of any biometric data, ensuring that even in case of compromised keys, no biometrics or personally identifiable information (PII) is at risk, significantly minimizing data breach-related compliance burdens.

Unmatched Security Through Face-based PKI

SenseCrypt's face-based PKI provides a high level of security through a unique approach that combines facial recognition with cryptographic keys. The system uses a face-derived public key to generate Face Certificates for specific purposes, such as login, eKYC, and other transactions. This innovative system enhances traditional security measures and opens new doors for applications such as file and document signing, encryption/decryption, eKYC, passwordless login, proof of presence, secure communication, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Enhanced Privacy and Security with Decentralized Identity

SenseCrypt DLT Protocol extends the capabilities of Face PKI to the blockchain, offering a decentralized identity management system that empowers users to control their digital identities. This protocol ensures user privacy through Zero Knowledge Face Proofs, allowing issuers to verify wallet holders without storing biometrics on the blockchain or in wallets. This approach also guarantees that verifiers receive cryptographic proof that the wallet's legitimate owner is making the verifiable presentation, not someone using a stolen wallet.

SenseCrypt's Core Features:

• Privacy-preserving and Non-biometric: No biometric data is stored, ensuring privacy.
• Biometrically verifiable: Only the eID holder's live face can decrypt the eID attributes, ensuring authenticity.
• Revocable and renewable: Multiple SensePrints can be generated from the same image with the same metadata, allowing for updates without changing the user's face.
• Offline verifiable: SensePrints can be verified completely offline, enabling verification in environments without internet access.
• Incomparable and Unlinkable: No biometric data is stored, making it impossible to compare and link if two SensePrints belong to the same individual, further enhancing privacy.
• Group verification capable: A single SensePrint can verify multiple users, offering efficient verification for groups.
• Irreversible: The absence of biometrics prevents Hill Climbing or face regeneration attacks, ensuring robustness against these common attacks.
• Non-repudiable: Each SensePrint is signed by the issuer, allowing verification via the issuer's root certificate public key, enhancing accountability and trust.

Advancing Security with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

SenseCrypt incorporates Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to safeguard against the potential threats of future quantum computing. PQC is designed to withstand the computational power of quantum computers, which can break traditional encryption algorithms.

• SenseCrypt supports both FIPS 203 – ML-KEM Standard and FIPS 204 – ML-DSA Standard, ensuring compatibility with the latest PQC standards.
