Those supporting the Worldcoin project have launched an open-sourced initiative to protect biometric data.
Worldcoin Foundation has released an open-source system that it claims can improve the protection of sensitive information, including the data generated when people sign up for the Worldcoin project.
Worldcoin Foundation said it migrated to the new system and, in doing so, deleted the iris codes it collected after people who signed up for the Worldcoin project had their eyeballs scanned by Orb devices. The Worldcoin project gives people cryptocurrency, or WLD tokens, when they sign up and have their eyeballs scanned to prove their personhood and create a digital identification.
"The Worldcoin Foundation, along with contributor-technologists from TACEO and Tools for Humanity, have successfully architected a new implementation of SMPC to address the scale and cost constraints that have previously hindered others," the statement also said.Worldcoin Foundation also said because people are more frequently required to provide biometric data to different organizations, the need for securely protecting users' personal data is becoming increasingly essential.
