About Gimel ID
(FAQ)
Gimel ID is an identity platform – we combine all functions related to a digital identity: secure login, online identification, digital signing, etc. with partner companies.
Keeping your ID in Wallet makes it simple to prove your age and identity in person for things like getting into select bars, concerts, festivals, and more. Easily verify your age or identity in apps. When you add your ID to Wallet, apps that require age or identity verification are a snap.
Gimel ID makes identity protection easy for you. We enable you to manage your identity as well as data and track it at any time – only you decide who gets which data.
In an unsecure environment, identities are being verified with means of biometrics. Today`s biometrics being used are typically fingerprint and face recognition. Since these biometrics are not accurate, easy to hack and non-inclusive, Gimel ID is offering a new biometric. It is building on the genetic fingerprint. This is why Gimel ID is offering the world`s most secure wallet.
We are afraid nothing is 100-percent secure. But Gimel ID is the most secure identity solution today. Gimel ID can verify an individual among eight billion people on earth. The genetic fingerprint being used is extremely accurate. This allows us to detect fraud and defend your identity, effectively.
Yes indeed, single-eyed twins can have the same genetic footprint. Therefore, single-eyed twins are an issue for Forensics, where the genetic fingerprint is being used since long. However, the Gimel ID is not being used in Forensics. Gimel ID is being used for verification of identities as well as authentication purposes. Thus, single-eyed twins are no problem for Gimel ID.
Of course, we maintain utmost data privacy. Gimel ID builds on DNA data, however, we make sure that no DNA data are leaving the lab. We are using encryption algorithms to make sure that nobody outside the lab get access to personal data. Since this is a one-way encryption, nobody can draw conclusions on your DNA from reading the encrypted identity.
When using the Gimel ID for authentication purposes you can do that without sharing personal data. This is called Zero-Knowledge-Proof. Gimel ID is using the Passkey approach, rather than passwords. You decide which data you are willing to share with whom.
Gimel ID is currently being represented by a European team of co-founders. One of the board members for example is Francesco De Meo, former CEO of Europe`s largest private hospital organization Helios Health. We operate based on the vision that the ownership of and governance for Gimel ID is being democratized via the Gimel Foundation. The founders of Gimel ID come from a range of different sectors and complement each other with their various background, as well as their expertise in ID and healthcare, security, finance and telecommunications technology.
