The Science and Technology Directorate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awards contracts to six innovative start-ups in the field of digital data privacy

Congratulations to Credence ID, Hushmesh Inc., NETIS Group, Procivis AG, SpruceID and ubiqu for winning these prestigious contracts! These companies will work together with the Department of Homeland Security of the United States to develop privacy-protecting technologies for the digital versions of credentials that are used, for example, for cross-border travel, employment eligibility, and immigration programs. These technologies aim to ensure secure storage and authentication of credentials, while preserving the privacy of individuals. 

🔒 As a key player in post-biometric and #WEB3-inspired technologies, we are particularly attentive to these initiatives which place #privacy protection at the heart of technological #innovations. Our own technology, the Veintree post-biometric authentication system, functions without a biometric database and is founded on the unique and individual patterns of the hand’s veins, offering unrivalled security and guaranteeing maximum confidentiality of personal data. 

 At Veintree, we are committed to developing technologies that not only meet today's and tomorrow’s security needs, but also respect the highest ethical standards of privacy protection. Our post-biometric authentication solution, which is based on the hand’s venous network, is designed to seamlessly integrate into diverse digital environments, thus offering a robust alternative to traditional identification methods. 

👏 We congratulate the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the winning companies for their commitment to protecting privacy through innovative technological solutions. We fully share this vision and are committed to creating highly protected and confidential digital interactions that meet our users' expectations for #ease, #convenience, and #security

Together, let's continue to innovate for a safer, more privacy-friendly digital future. 🚀
