Proof of Personhood (POP) Algorithm

Approach

POP scoring for each user and organisation based on multiple touchpoints.

Assumptions

• Users and organisations will not all want to use the same method of POP

• there may be one, many or a combination of proof of personhood methods that are valid

• some proof of personhood methods are valid contributors to POP score but imperfect as a sole point of reliance.

• Institutional registries (eg public Company registries) are assumed not to have third party verification until approved as part of algorithm

• Users and organisations will claim false credentials until

Algorithm Components

• Biometrics

  • worldcoin

• Approved National/International/Institutional credentials

  • ID cards / driving licence / BankID (Sweden) & other national ids

  • Stock market indices (ie reliance upon public company verification)

    • note that LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) & National Company Registries are unlikely to offer a valid POP component and each will need approval case by case

  • OpenBanking / Bank Statements / AML Credentials (eg from Coinbase if can partner)- digital integration

  • KYC / AML on platform (subject to budget constraints)

• Social-graph

  • Connections on Profile.io including:

    • endorsements from other trusted users and organsations

    • badges from issuer organisations
