At Journey we use the power of our secure and private identity network, or Zero Knowledge. The key is to sew together a system of verifiers, agencies, and citizens (probably in their pjs). And to do it in a highly secure, privacy-preserving identity network.
Powerful personal computing technology with sensors on devices makes it possible to weave in and out of the light. The Journey Identity solution is a robust identity enrollment and authentication system between the light and the dark.
