Tech5 Biometric Matching Platform Compliant with OSIA Telecommunications Standard

Swiss biometrics company Tech5 says its biometric matching platform is compliant with the latest telecommunications standard Open Standards Identity API (OSIA). The OSIA framework, developed by the Secure Identity Alliance (SIA), promotes interoperability between digital identity systems for communication and data exchange.

The Tech5 platform now complies with this open standard, which is used for interoperability in telecommunications and other sectors that rely on biometric authentication. By complying with OSIA standards, Tech5 streamlines digital ID management for mobile network operators with the goal of reducing fraud.

Idnow receives Substantial LoA certificate from ANSSI for YRIS wallet

Identity verification provider Idnow has achieved the “Substantial Level of Assurance (LoA)” certification for remote digital identities for its YRIS digital identity wallet under the eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) regulation. The “Substantial” level indicates a high degree of assurance for online identity verification, which is a milestone for Idnow as it becomes one of the first European providers to meet this standard.

According to the company, the certification from the French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) allows Idnow to further strengthen its position as a reliable partner for organizations seeking to meet stringent EU requirements.

“This certification is another milestone for IDnow as we continue to play a key role in Europe’s ambition to create and offer a uniform, reliable and secure digital identity to its citizens and residents,” says Marc Norlain, Managing Director and Head of Reusable Identities at IDnow.
