Alongside these efforts, there is a growing need to\nstrengthen security measures, address increasingly sophisticated risks, and\nrespond to evolving regulatory expectations, while maintaining a high standard\nof usability and trust for end users\n\nJapan's experience reflects a challenge playing out across the Asia-Pacific\nregion and beyond. As digital services evolve, organisations face increasingly\nsophisticated cybersecurity threats, growing concerns over data privacy, and\nthe challenge of balancing security with usability. Traditional authentication\nmethods — such as passwords and centralised credentials — remain\nvulnerable to breaches, while emerging alternatives like passkeys and\ndevice-based authentication introduce risks related to device compromise,\ncloud syncing vulnerabilities, and unauthorised access. Fragmented identity\nverification processes further create barriers to adoption, increasing\noperational friction and limiting growth opportunities.\n\nIn response, the three parties will deliver a unified privacy-preserving\nbiometric authentication solution under Digital Platformer's next-generation\nidentity platform. The architecture integrates Trust Stamp's Fuzzy IT²\nbiometric tokenisation with Partisia's MPC platform to ensure that no single\nentity — including the identity service provider — can access a user's\nconfidential data, significantly reducing reliance on any single point of\nfailure and preserving full self-sovereignty.\n\nThe solution generates a privacy-preserving biometric token from the user's\ndevice, after which an MPC-based facial matching and signing process is\nexecuted using a secret-shared private key. The resulting identity tokens are\nsplit into secure shares and distributed across multiple MPC nodes, ensuring\nthey are never reassembled at any single location during comparison and that\ntokenized biometric data remains protected at all times. Traditional biometric\nsystems compare data on a central server, creating a high-value target for\nattackers; this architecture significantly reduces such vulnerabilities\ncompared to traditional centralized systems. The joint solution gives Digital\nPlatformer full flexibility to define and control how the service is\nintegrated for each client based on their specific authentication\nrequirements.\n\nGareth Genner, CEO, Trust Stamp\n\n“This collaboration is grounded in a shared commitment to advancing both\nsecurity and usability across the digital economy. By combining our tokenised\nbiometric authentication with Partisia’s MPC infrastructure and Digital\nPlatformer’s advanced platform, we are enabling a decentralised and\nintegrated solution that strengthens regulatory compliance while opening new\npossibilities for organizations operating in increasingly complex\ntechnological and regulatory landscapes.”\n\nIkkei Matsuda, CEO, Digital Platformer\n\n“Our partnership with Trust Stamp marks a significant step toward redefining\ndigital identity and financial security. At Digital Platformer, we leverage\ncutting-edge blockchain technology to establish trustless identity solutions\nthat ensure authenticity, while adding trust to the secure ownership and\ntransactions of digital assets. By integrating diverse services and advancing\nautomated transactions, we foster autonomy in the flow of people, goods, and\nmoney, ultimately supporting the formation of a new economic ecosystem.\nThrough this collaboration, we aim to provide a more secure and efficient\nauthentication and transaction environment across industries such as finance,\nhealthcare, and government, expanding the potential of decentralized\ntechnologies.”\n\nMark, CPO, Partisia\n\n\"Partisia's MPC technology was designed precisely for challenges like this —\nwhere sensitive data must be processed with full verifiability but zero\nexposure. Integrating our platform with Trust Stamp's Fuzzy IT² biometric\ntokenisation within Digital Platformer’s decentralized architecture creates\nsomething genuinely new: a system where authentication is both highly secure\nand provably private, without reliance on a single centralized authority.
