Trust Stamp and Partisia have announced a new strategic partnership to develop a privacy-preserving solution that links digital credentials to biometric data without relying on traditional templates or centralized databases. The collaboration combines Trust Stamp’s expertise in non-reversible biometric transformation with Partisia’s Multi-Party Computation (MPC) architecture to deliver a secure, decentralized approach to identity verification.
Decentralized Identity Backed by Advanced Cryptography
The partnership aims to address growing concerns about data security in digital identity systems. By transforming live biometric input into a secure, one-way representation, Trust Stamp’s technology eliminates the need to store raw biometric data. When combined with Partisia’s MPC infrastructure, which enables encrypted computation across multiple parties without exposing sensitive information, the solution offers a privacy-centric alternative to conventional identity systems.
“Biometric holder binding is fundamental to establishing trust in digital identity,” said Mark Medum Bundgaard, Chief Product Officer at Partisia. “Our work with Trust Stamp makes this trust more accessible, demonstrating that robust privacy standards and ease of use can coexist in harmony.”
The system is built with interoperability in mind, leveraging the Global Omnichain Data Service (GODS) Network to facilitate integration across diverse platforms and industries. It allows biometric-linked credentials to function securely across decentralized infrastructures while ensuring users retain control of their data.
Privacy Compliance and Industry Momentum
The announcement follows several recent developments for both companies. Trust Stamp was recently selected for the Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV 2025 program, which supports high-impact fintech solutions. The company also earned a D-seal certification, validating its compliance with European data protection standards and reinforcing its emphasis on user privacy.
The new solution is positioned for use in sectors where both regulatory compliance and data protection are paramount, including financial services, healthcare, and government services. It may also play a key role in addressing emerging challenges such as deepfake fraud and unauthorized biometric use in consumer-facing applications.
While the companies did not disclose a launch timeline, both confirmed that pilot implementations are being explored with partners in the public and private sectors. The collaboration reflects a broader market shift toward cryptographic verification models as digital identity systems move away from centralized repositories and toward user-controlled frameworks.
