Welcome to Private Biometric Authentication
What we do
We help achieve certainty with simple questions like:
- Are you the person you claim to be?
- Are you the person who signed?
- Is it an original document?
To do this, we are developing authentication solutions based on the cryptographic processing of a unique physical characteristic: subcutaneous vein patterns.
Vein patterns are private because, unlike fingerprints and DNA, they leave no trace, and unlike voice, face and iris are not permanently shared.
Physical identity management is a growing need for organizations facing the growth and mobility of staff, customers, patients, voters, citizens, students, refugees, etc., as well as the growth and mobility of certifications and transactions.
Conversely, identity protection is a growing need for individuals, be they employees, customers, patients, voters, citizens, students, refugees, etc., all affected by mistaken identity, impersonation, charging and privacy breaches.

Our clients are organizations
Identity management is a growing need for organizations facing the growth and mobility of staff, customers, patients, voters, citizens, students, refugees, etc., as well as the growth and the mobility of qualifications and transactions.
This growth and mobility creates operational load, errors and risks, all related to identity.
Critically, identity is the first pillar to achieving a Zero-Trust IT architecture, so start with a strong pillar.
What biometric authentication does for your organization
- Provides certainty of identity and protects organizations against the risk of errors, losses, costs, fines and reputational damage.
- Benefits organizations by reducing the identification burden for returnees, improving productivity and user experience.
- Protects organizations against the risk of confusing one individual with another.
- Protects organizations against unauthorized access to electronic records and other security and privacy breaches.
- Protects organizations from identity theft and liability caused by mistaken identities.
- Protects liability insurers against claims caused by mistaken identity, improving the risk profile of the insured organization.
- Benefits organizations by eliminating laborious paper-based authentication workflows (signatures, transfer documents) in favor of highly productive and portable digital workflows.
Finger vein biometric authentication
Privacy is a growing fundamental concern in many countries. The proliferation of devices that capture public biometrics without consent, such as face, voice, fingerprints, and DNA, is leading to growing concerns about breaches of privacy and malicious exploitation of biometrics .
Global ID‘s multi-view finger-vein biometrics are private biometrics because:
- Requires explicit consent: Selecting and presenting a specific finger is an action based on explicit consent, unlike showing your face or using your voice in public. Specific fingers can even be designated to signal duress.
- It is immaterial, non-replicated and volatile: finger-vein biometrics can only be captured with specialized equipment, leave no trace and therefore cannot be dispersed by continuous physical replication, unlike traces of fingerprints and fingerprints. DNA.
Sectors
Physical identity authentication has no industry barriers because it applies to all people and every industry involves people. Beyond risk avoidance, simple authentication delivers productivity.
- Private Sector: Businesses of all sizes use authentication to minimize risk and reap productivity gains. From small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with critical assets to protect, to large corporate accounts with an international mobile workforce.
- Public sector: public entities such as federal, state, regional, state, provincial, county, and municipal departments, as well as public safety, police, and defense.
- NGOs: Non-governmental organizations frequently operate in insecure environments where physical authentication is essential to distinguish individuals, sometimes anonymously because insufficient reliable identity credentials are available, for example in disaster scenarios.
Industries
Physical identity authentication has no segment barriers because it applies to people and each segment involves people. Beyond risk avoidance, simple authentication delivers productivity.
The strongest demand comes from sectors with the highest occupational and economic risks, such as medical, financial and public services.
- Health care
- Finance
- Services
We the people
As citizens, we all have privacy rights
As individuals, we interact with organizations of all kinds, private, public and non-governmental.
We do this in a variety of roles, as staff, customers, patients, constituents, citizens, students, refugees, etc., and are asked to disclose our identity and other data.
Our privacy rights include protecting our identity against misidentification by organizations and against impersonation by others. Our rights also include the protection of our personal data.
We are increasingly concerned about mistaken identity, impersonation, charging and privacy breaches.
It’s time to demand better protection and the use of private and ethical biometrics. We shouldn’t be forced to use public forensic biometrics that are used to identify criminals.
Biometric authentication
- Protects individuals against the risk of being mistaken for someone else and receiving incorrect service.
- Benefits returnees by reducing the burden of identification, thus improving the quality of service.
- Protects individuals from improper access to electronic records and other privacy breaches.
Respect for privacy
Privacy is a growing fundamental concern for individuals in many countries. The proliferation of devices that capture our public biometrics, such as face, voice, fingerprints, and DNA without consent, is raising growing concerns about privacy breaches and the malicious exploitation of biometrics.
Consentement explicite
Selecting and presenting a specific finger is an explicit consent-based action, unlike showing your face or using your voice in public. Specific fingers can even be designated to signal duress. The gesture is quite comparable to the voluntary gesture of a handwritten signature, but without the risk of counterfeiting.
Volatile and unreplicated
Finger-vein multi-view patterns can only be captured with specialized equipment because they are non-material and leave no trace, so they are not dispersed by continuous physical replication, unlike fingerprints and to DNA.
