authID launches quantum-resistant biometric authentication platform

authID Inc. (NASDAQ: AUID) announced the launch of its quantum-resistant PrivacyKey biometric authentication platform. The system integrates NIST post-quantum cryptographic standards and multi-party computation key protection to address potential quantum computing threats to identity security.

The platform supports three NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms: ML-DSA-65, SLH-DSA-128s, and SLH-DSA-256s, utilizing both lattice-based and hash-based cryptographic foundations. Organizations can select algorithms based on specific operations, policies, or risk models.

The system employs a zero-storage architecture that generates ephemeral cryptographic keypairs from live biometric presentations for each authentication event. Private keys are immediately destroyed after transaction signing, creating what the company describes as biometric digital signatures.

The platform includes threshold multi-party computation key protection, where encryption keys are divided across multiple independent nodes in separate trust domains. No single node holds complete keys, and authentication requires collaboration between distributed nodes in real time.

"The quantum era is not a distant threat; it's an engineering reality today," said Rhon Daguro, CEO of authID. "NIST has finalized its standards, regulatory timelines are accelerating, and organizations that rely on legacy biometric architectures are already running out of time."

Tom Szoke, founder and Chief Technology Officer, stated that integrating multiple post-quantum algorithms provides protection even if one cryptographic family becomes compromised.

The quantum-resistant PrivacyKey platform is available for enterprise customers. authID operates in the biometric identity verification sector and trades on the Nasdaq exchange.
