The world’s first fully decentralized biometrics. Where personal privacy meets digital security.Decentralization is key to digital security, data protection and consumer privacy.Yet the world of biometrics is stuck in an old paradigm of trade-offs – centralized databases that are prone to hacks or device-based biometrics that can be circumvented.Our revolutionary, patented approach makes personal data unhackable.The Anonybit system breaks down biometric data into anonymized bits ("Anonybits") that reside in a vast peer-to peer network, made up of various types of nodes that store andThe network infrastructure is designed to support multiple use cases and even third-party algorithms.Anonybit’s decentralized biometric framework enables strong, passwordless authentication, reduces fraud, strengthens compliance and protects identity and“We got tired of chasing hackers and decided to use our industry experience and technical expertise to address the issue of personal privacy and digital security head-on.”We have always presented our identity in return for trust and convenience with others.Yet sharing our personal data in a digital age is a fraught with risk. It's a game we’re still getting used to. And in the process of trying to maintain both personal privacy and security, both are getting lost. No matter how many barriers we put in their way, hackers are winning every day. You see, it’s not the 99.9% of their attacks which fail that make us worry, it’s the 0.1% that succeed.
