- Worldcoin has given users more control over the privacy of their data.
- The new bundle guarantees that the user’s device will retain the information created.
With the announcement of Personal Custody features, the decentralized digital identity project Worldcoin led by Sam Altman has given users more control over the privacy of their data.
Aiming to improve data privacy for all users and allay concerns about privacy worries voiced by several nations, Worldcoin announced additional features on March 22. The new bundle is centered on Personal Custody, which guarantees that the user’s device will retain the information created on the orb for identification.
Users in Total Control
Users may now manage the deletion of features at any moment, in contrast to the former way, thanks to this approval. This is a change from the previous system, when consumers could not influence the deletion of such data.
Moreover, as stated in the announcement, this is a significant step towards achieving its goal of a more extensive ID network and securing user private data and architecture. In addition, other apps will be able to use face authentication thanks to the new capability. Also, the ability to confirm one’s identification at the moment of capture with the Orb will safeguard high-security applications.
Furthermore, one promising aspect is that a public-private key pair may be generated entirely on a mobile phone. The next step is to transmit the encrypted data to the backend, where more keys are created to perform a second round of encryption. The Orb receives the keys and uses them to generate the Worldcoin verification images.
The Orb takes care of data curation, encryption, and authentication by signing and transmitting packets to the user’s phone. Then, it deletes them. The end product of this procedure is a set of encrypted data packages that are stored entirely on the user’s device, as their public key is used to encrypt all data.
