Uniris: A Win-Win Authentication ID Solution
The Uniris ID authentication solution is one based on an internal scan of the complex venous network of the finger. This can be done on any authorized authentication device where unique individual keys are generated securely to decipher the decentralized keychain, after which they are not stored but deleted.
Users fully control their credentials without needing permissions from centralized authorities — identities are self-sovereign. As users never have to hand over their identities and companies and organizations never have the burden of data protection, Uniris provides a win-win solution in this era of privacy and data protection woes.
Backed by a powerful new consensus mechanism called ARCH Consensus (Atomic Rotating Commitment Heuristic) which has been built from scratch, the protocol outperforms the current market standards on multiple parameters such as ergonomics, scalability, speed, security and sustainability.
