Trust Stamp’s continued push to innovate transformative privacy-first solutions follows multiple patents applications filed in the beginning of 2022, and recently announced financial support from Malta Enterprise for their next-generation Medical QR Code solution that layers data privacy, protection, and portability to complement current and future digital health certificate programs using the Company’s advanced tokenization technology to enable user-controlled access to medical data both on and offline.

Protected by Trust Stamp’s comprehensive presentation attack detection capabilities, the innovation works across identity modalities including the Company’s own expanding range of biometric capture and analysis tools for facial, palm, and fingerprint biometrics, which are optimized for accurate authentication without sharing any biometric data, using just a mobile phone.

When coupled with the Company’s core privacy-first technology that cryptographically transforms identifying information and leverages the resulting Irreversibly Transformed Identity Token (IT2) for privacy-first identity-proofing, this development poses notable implications in addressing global, cross-market demand for privacy, security, and accessibility in digital medical records systems.
