0% Biometrics, 100% privacy: How face PKI with post-quantum cryptography enables AI-resilient and secure digital identity

In today's increasingly digital world, the need for secure and privacy preserving identity verification is more critical than ever. While AI enhances functionality, it also amplifies threats like deepfakes, identity theft, and misinformation. As cyber threats evolve, traditional cryptography faces new challenges, especially from quantum computing.

Robust methods are needed to ensure authenticity in communication, transactions, and content consumption. Many solutions rely on invasive identification, risking surveillance and raising privacy concerns.Seventh Sense addresses these complex issues by integrating post-quantum cryptography and privacy-preserving biometrics, overcoming the vulnerabilities of traditional biometric systems that rely on centralized databases or device-level security.
