What is CIVIC?
A platform to secure and protect identities
How?
“Through [the] decentralized architecture with the blockchain and biometrics on the mobile device, [the] platform provides multi-factor authentication without a username, password, third party authenticator, or physical hardware token.”
- keys are generated by the third party wallet
- all identity data are fully encrypted in the app on the user’s device
- public identifier for the authentication authority
Why?
Better user experience through various points:
Medical data, social networking, e-commerce or also for special authorities.
How can you use it?
“An individual downloads the Civic App and completes an Identity Validation Process customized to the Civic Business Customer requirements. This process verifies Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to ensure ownership of the identity with enough data to establish the level of trust required by the Civic Business Customer.”
I think this is a really great usecase of the blockchain technology. Just go ahead and try it yourself!
