Criipto is a provider of digital identity solutions through European electronic identities (eIDs). One of these is Norwegian BankID with biometrics for businesses, which enables users to effortlessly verify their identity via fingerprints or facial recognition.

Because biometric authentication is so efficient, it can be leveraged for entirely new use cases and industries.

Jan sees significant potential in a biometric verification process with BankID. People can use the same login method across various platforms and be verified in under 10 seconds. This eliminates the need for lengthy or insecure usernames and passwords.
