Nuggets for Public Sector & Government Background

Simple one-time capture and validation of a government-issued photo ID or NFC e-Passport with biometric face verification and liveness check - supporting NIST IAL 2. Stored as verifiable credentials for privacy-enhancing selective sharing.

Selectively share high assurance attributes from a previously enrolled verified and validated identity to third-party systems - with end-to-end portability for identity assurance supporting NIST IAL 2 - which provides secure personalisation.

Selectively share attributes from a previously enrolled verified and validated business identity to third-party systems - as part of supply chains and business partnerships - to reduce fraud and improve assurance during data sharing.

Users have complete ownership and control over their personal data through a decentralized self-sovereign identity wallet that securely stores verifiable credentials, eliminating the risk of data breaches. This can be used for identity, compliance, and payments.

Nuggets uses open standard specifications, including W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs), Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs), DIDComm Messaging (DIDComm), and OAuth 2.0, OID4VC, OID4VCI, OID4VP, which enables global, private, and secure interoperability for verified and validated identity data.

Industry-standard public key cryptography provides a distributed way of protecting key personal data, reducing single points of failure and allowing selective sharing.

Password-free login for customers and staff, which leverages something you have and are - removes the ability for credentials to be tracked, intercepted or stolen, supporting NIST AAL2.

Strong customer authentication through the use of standards-based cryptography and biometrics verified against government-issued photo IDs - to support the likes of PSD2 SCA and NIST AAL2.

Biometric verification and authentication for secure account reset and recovery. The user’s identity is tied to high assurance biometrics and verifiable credentials, reducing account takeover attempts during recovery.

Nuggets provides seamless transaction assurance for high-risk events involving access, payment processing or online events. With biometrics and verifiable credentials resulting in event enforceability and fulfilment.

Auditable Nuggets of information are encrypted with the private keys of transaction participants for access and retention regulation and compliance - providing simple and repeatable identity and data management.

Seamless login support for a range of applications, web services and transaction processing scenarios. High assurance authentication (supporting NIST AAL2 and PSD2/SCA) via verified and validated biometrics, allowing seamless access to connected applications.

Verify a user’s age without revealing sensitive personal data through the use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs - to provide high assurance attribute verification via selective-sharing.

Leverage existing identity provider infrastructure and identity providers (IDP) and overlay Nuggets for strong authentication and collection of additional verified credentials and IAL proofing data. Securely store personal data in Nuggets' encrypted private distributed wallet.

Every payment is tied to a verified digital identity to prevent fraud and eliminate false positives in a secure and compliant manner. Supports a more personalised and secure digital processing fabric.
