DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,
Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
TrueProfile.io, the global leader for the verification of
professional documents, has announced a new integration with uPort
to empower its members to take control of their growing digital
identities. By joining forces, TrueProfile.io's members can utilise
uPort's user-controlled wallet to store their credentials,
providing users with a simple, accessible and secure way to share
their verified documents.
The association between TrueProfile.io and uPort was
orchestrated due to the recognition of shared values between the
two entities. Both TrueProfile.io and uPort utilise blockchain to
give their users complete authority over how their personal data is
accessed, owned and shared. TrueProfile.io's members are encouraged
to unite their digital identities - including their verified
documents - in one decentralised place, the uPort app. From here,
TrueProfile.io's members can regulate who they share their personal
details with on a granular level.
The new integration highlights TrueProfile.io's commitment
towards future-proofing and longevity, so that its members can
continue to enjoy the benefits of their verified documents for the
lifetime of their career. With increasing discussions around the
concept of data protection, identity ownership and self-sovereign
identity, TrueProfile.io's move towards the decentralised storage
of professional documents ensures its members are ready for
tomorrow; particularly as the new integration with uPort follows
the launch of an identity verification service via
TrueProfile.io.
Of the new feature, TrueProfile.io's Chief Digital Officer, René
Seifert says,
"TrueProfile.io has developed the integration with uPort as part
of our ongoing commitment to giving our members the best, most
secure and convenient verification services that they can use
throughout the duration of their career. uPort enables us to
enhance the portable aspect of our TrueProofs and by maintaining
this through the use of blockchain, our members have the freedom to
have authority over how their information is stored and who it is
shared with."
Regarding the partnership with TrueProfile.io, uPort's Chief
Operating Officer, Alice Nawfal,
says,
"We are excited to partner with TrueProfile.io to enable the
portability of employee verifications. TrueProfile.io's members
will be empowered to manage their own professional credentials in a
highly secure way. This is a very valuable use case for
decentralised identity, one that we expect will be transforming the
future of workplaces."
In practice, TrueProfile.io's members can simply download the
uPort app on a connected device, such as a mobile phone. By
scanning the QR code found on their verified TrueProofs, these
verified documents will be added to their uPort 'wallet.' Once
added, the TrueProofs can be quickly and easily shared with
selected contacts at the user's discretion, returning the control
of digital identity back to the user.
