Trusted Key Closes New Funding to Accelerate Secure Digital Identity Adoption by Blockchain Technology

Trusted Key Solutions Inc, one of our portfolio company focus on secure digital identity by AI and Blockchain technology, announced that it has raised $3 million (USD) on May 4th as part of a seed funding round led by Founders Co-Op, an early-stage venture fund, with participation from Pithia, Inc., the venture capital company of The RChain Cooperative.

Founded by former executives from Microsoft, Oracle and Symantec, the company plans to use this funding to accelerate innovation and business expansion to meet growing product demand from enterprise customers. Trusted Key’s digital identity solution leverages blockchain technology to provide the foundation of digital trust.

“Highly regulated enterprises want to bring their customer experience online but have significant drop-off rates during enrollment due to the cumbersome identity validation, or proofing, process. With the rise in identity theft and breaches, these organizations also face enormous pressures to deliver a secure and convenient experience,” said Amit Jasuja, CEO of Trusted Key. “Trusted Key’s platform protects the privacy of consumer data, while allowing enterprises to easily verify that their customers are who they claim to be. We are rebuilding digital trust.”

The company also announced it has successfully demonstrated a pilot project in partnership with healthcare consortium NH-ISAC with the potential to reach more than 150 million consumers in the U.S. The project establishes NH-ISAC’s vision of a mobile HealthID application that onboards consumers with flexible identity proofing and provides them with a single, re-usable digital identity to access all of their healthcare services, such as signing up for health insurance, registering with healthcare providers and fulfilling prescriptions online.

“We have been very impressed working with Trusted Key on the power of their platform around identity proofing and the creation of a secure digital identity that can be re-used by all of our healthcare partners with validation on the blockchain,” saidKurt Lieber, Chairman of the NH-ISAC Identity and Authentication Working Group.

For enterprises, providing a frictionless yet secure online consumer enrollment process is increasingly important. According to a recent report from Allied Market Research, the global consumer identity and access management market is estimated to reach nearly $24 billion by 2022. A driving factor behind this growing demand is the inexorable shift to online experiences across the entire lifecycle of the consumer-enterprise interaction.

Trusted Key has built an enterprise solution to prevent identity fraud, improve security and enhance the consumer experience with password-less authentication and transaction authorization. This helps organizations streamline customer acquisition on digital channels while meeting business and regulatory requirements. Trusted Key’s identity proofing platform offers organizations a customizable infrastructure that can be deployed on various blockchains that best suits their needs, while easily integrating with existing applications.
