authID Launches PrivacyKey™ with NIST Post-Quantum Algorithms and MPC Sharding

AUIDAUID

authID has launched its PrivacyKey™ platform, the industry’s first biometric authentication solution built to resist quantum-powered decryption by integrating three NIST-standard post-quantum algorithms. The platform employs ephemeral keypairs and threshold MPC sharding using AES-256 to eliminate stored biometric data and ensure quantum-resistant digital signatures for enterprise identity security.

1. Industry-First Quantum-Resistant Biometric Platform

authID has introduced PrivacyKey™, the first biometric authentication platform engineered to resist quantum-powered decryption. It eliminates biometric data at rest by generating ephemeral cryptographic keypairs during each authentication event and instantly destroying private keys. This architecture produces a biometric digital signature proving user presence for each transaction.

2. NIST-Standard Post-Quantum Algorithms Integration

The PrivacyKey™ platform supports three NIST-standard post-quantum algorithms—ML-DSA-65, SLH-DSA-128s, and SLH-DSA-256s—across lattice-based and hash-based cryptography. Organizations can select algorithms per operation or risk model to eradicate single points of cryptographic failure. This multi-algorithm approach ensures protection even if one cryptographic family is compromised.

3. Threshold MPC Key Sharding for Enhanced Security

Threshold multi-party computation (MPC) secures every AES-256 key by sharding it across multiple independent nodes. No single node ever holds a complete key, preventing breaches from reconstructing authentication credentials. Real-time node collaboration regenerates keys only for specific operations, reinforcing a robust defense against insider threats.

4. Enterprise Impact and Availability

PrivacyKey™ is available now for enterprise customers seeking to future-proof their identity infrastructure. The platform’s zero-storage, ephemeral-key design and algorithm flexibility enable seamless integration without workflow redesigns. Enterprises in finance, healthcare, and government sectors can adopt the technology to safeguard next-decade security postures.
