Reimagining Identity Verification in a Digital World
Interested in being a guest? Email us at [email protected]
What if you never had to share your social security number or personal details again? What if there was a way to verify your identity and background just once, then reuse that credential securely for life? Trust might be the new digital currency, and Trua is building the exchange.
The digital world demands proof of who we are at every turn, but our current verification systems create massive security risks. Each time we provide our personal information for a background check, membership sign-up, or service enrollment, we're creating another vulnerable data honeypot. With data breaches costing companies an average of $4.5 million and affecting millions of consumers, it's clear our approach to identity verification is fundamentally broken.
Raj Ananthanpillai Founder & CEO shares his vision for a revolutionary Trust Bureau that gives individuals agency over their personal data while providing high-assurance verification to businesses and organizations. Drawing inspiration from post-9/11 security initiatives and addressing the shortcomings of using Social Security Numbers as universal identifiers, Trua has developed a blockchain-based system that could eliminate 70-80% of data breaches by preventing unnecessary PII proliferation.
The implications are enormous. From streamlining pre-employment screening and preventing North Korean infiltration of tech companies to simplifying verification for gig economy workers, Trua's approach puts individuals at the center of the verification process while reducing regulatory burden and security costs for businesses. By tokenizing identity attributes and using zero-knowledge proofs, verification can happen without exposing underlying personal data.
Ready to reclaim ownership of your digital identity? Discover how trust is becoming the new digital currency, and why the future of verification might look a lot like having a mobile driver's license in your digital wallet—secure, user-controlled, and universally accepted.
