Alien App Launches to Verify Human Identity Without Biometric Data Retention
- Alien has launched a decentralized app on iOS and Android that verifies users as human without retaining biometric data.
- The app processes facial scans using multi-party computation, deletes the image immediately, and stores only an anonymized hash-like vector on-chain.
- Verification requires an invitation from an already verified user to strengthen identity assurance.
- CEO Kirill Avery emphasizes the need for decentralized solutions over centralized digital IDs amidst growing AI automation pressures.
- Alien joins other projects like Proof of Humanity and Worldcoin’s World ID system in developing blockchain-based identity frameworks.
Alien’s new app provides a privacy-focused solution for verifying human identity online without storing personal data, addressing the challenge of distinguishing real users from bots in the digital age.
By utilizing encrypted scans and social verification, Alien aims to offer a secure alternative to traditional identity systems while contributing to the broader movement towards decentralized identity frameworks. (Source)
