Privacy and Security

MOSIP's fundamental architecture and design incorporate the highest levels of privacy and security.

Security by design

Key security features:
  • Encryption of data in-flight or rest. (See Data Protection)
  • Integration with trusted applications only.
  • Fraud avoidance - association of authentication only with specific transactions.
  • Misuse prevention - user can lock or unlock their authentication
  • Virtual ID and Tokens to prevent identity theft

Privacy by intent

Key privacy features:
  • Minimal data with selective disclosure on a need-to-know basis.
  • Sensitive data protected (not stored or logged in clear form).
  • Consent support – user decides who can receive what credentials.
  • No biometrics based search on database (only with ID).
  • De-centralised ID usage and data (cannot profile based on usage).
  • Virtual ID and Tokens to prevent profiling across transactions.
  • Face data is not sent to ABIS for deduplication.
