on

Hong Kong, China–(Newsfile Corp. – March 9, 2023) – Self-sovereign identity service, SelfKey, has released a new whitepaper detailing KYC solutions with features enabled by artificial intelligence and Zero knowledge verifications. The AI based solution and the zk-based features, built using KYC-Chain technology, will be rolled out to vendors, allowing them to safely authenticate users without exposing them to identity theft.

Zk verifications provide a means of verifying that a piece of information is correct without disclosing the information itself. They are popularly used in blockchain systems to enable entities to transact without revealing sensitive financial information such as account balances. SelfKey’s zero knowledge KYC system makes use of this same technology for identification purposes.

One of the advantages of SelfKey’s zk solution is that it encourages vendors to perform mandatory KYC checks without being burdened with storing user data. This frees platforms from the burden of holding sensitive information, such as customer selfies and identity document scans, complete with the security risk this entails. Users will receive reassurance that their data is not being stored in centralized databases for each platform they engage with.

The development of a zero-knowledge KYC solution has occurred in tandem with further enhancements to SelfKey’s digital identity service. This has included the incorporation of artificial intelligence to improve accuracy and clamp down on fraud. Integrated into SelfKey’s Proof of Individuality (POI) solution, the technology aims to combat fake personas made using AI models, which can pass as human in many digital identity checks.

SelfKey’s enhanced KYC solution was developed in response to industry-wide complaints from vendors who have struggled with user verification in the age of AI. Artificial intelligence has reached a stage where it is relatively simple to pass KYC checks using computer-generated selfies derived from individuals who don’t exist. This opens the door to fraudsters perpetrating financial crimes while hiding behind a cloak of anonymity.

To combat the rise of AI utilization for nefarious purposes, SelkKey’s solution will fight AI using the same technology. Integrated into SelfKey’s POI system, the technology will make use of AI to ensure that network users are the same individuals who initially onboarded. 

SelfKey’s AI has been trained to spot differences in facial composition between the initial KYC of the user and the image they are using to re-authenticate. A future upgrade of SelfKey’s POI system will enable AI to be utilized for behavior detection, increasing its efficacy in combating identity fraud.

SelfKey has also revealed that it is creating a new mechanism for its DAO. This will address future features that are integrated into the DAO, providing grants issued by the DAO.
