IDEMIA Public Security and Proof, a digital identity platform company, have formed a strategic partnership to deliver verifiable digital credentials that work across physical, logical, and digital environments.
The collaboration pairs IDEMIA Public Security’s biometric verification and authentication technologies with Proof’s public key infrastructure (PKI)-based digital signature and authorization network. Together, they aim to establish one of the first interoperable identity frameworks capable of embedding identity and biometric assurances into portable, user-controlled credentials.
The joint framework targets financial institutions and enterprises seeking to modernize identity verification processes. Use cases include secure know-your-customer (KYC) sharing, identity-affirmed payments, and related regulatory compliance. The verifiable digital credentials will use selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs to minimize data sharing, while giving users the ability to revoke access or restrict credential use at any time.
“Proof and IDEMIA Public Security share a vision for a world where identity is both trusted and private,” said Pat Kinsel, CEO of Proof. “By connecting biometric authentication and digital transaction trust under one framework, we’re creating the infrastructure for people to authenticate and authorize safely anywhere without giving up control of their personal data.”
Matt Cole, CEO of IDEMIA Public Security, said the partnership extends the company’s commitment to protecting citizens’ identities into new dimensions. “Together, we’re building a global foundation of confidence that makes digital interactions safer, simpler, and universally verifiable,” Cole said.
IDEMIA Public Security has an established record in both physical and digital identity infrastructure. The division recently partnered with Trinsic to expand mobile driver’s license acceptance and received a U.S. patent for a cryptographically bound visible digital seal technology for identity documents and credentials.
Proof, which serves 8,000 organizations across financial services, government, real estate, and healthcare, positions its platform as a trust layer for digital transactions. The company pioneered remote online notarization before expanding into a broader identity authorization network.
The IDEMIA-Proof framework aligns with broader industry momentum around verifiable credential standards, as organizations including the W3C and FIDO Alliance have moved to standardize how credentials are issued, held, and presented across digital and in-person environments.
