Liquid Avatar, Lumedic, Loop
Insights, The Campus Agency and TripXpertz Form Consortium to
Manage Verifiable Identity Credentials for COVID-19
Vaccinations
Verified Self Sovereign Identity, together with a
complete end-to-end issuance and verification health credentials
ecosystem, ensures individuals have full privacy and control of
personal healthcare data, including vaccination records, so they
can securely start returning back to public life,
freely.
TORONTO, ON and GIBRALTAR /
InvestorsHub NewsWire / December 8, 2020 / The KABN
Network, together with KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE:KABN) (the "Company" or "KABN North America"), a
Canadian fintech company that specializes in continuous online
identity verification, management and monetization in Canada and
the US, through its biometrically and identity verified Self
Sovereign Identity platform, Liquid Avatar (www.liquidavatar.com), today announces the
formation of a consortium of industry leaders that will empower
people to start getting back to the activities, people and places
they have been missing in their lives. The consortium has developed
an integrated solution that enables healthcare issuers, individuals
and verifiers to have a digital COVID-19 verifiable identity
healthcare credential that is secure, user managed and controlled
to ensure privacy, transportability and ease of use. This solution
supports the foundation for the acceptance of digital Healthcare
Passports.
This consortium initially includes the Lumedic Exchange, to
power the healthcare credential ecosystem; Loop Insights (MTRX), a
leader in automatic contact tracing; The Campus Agency, to support
on campus programs at over 2,000 US Colleges and Universities; and
TripXpertz, an organization that works with over 1,000 travel and
tourism boards, airlines, wholesalers and resorts, together with
Liquid Avatar's Self Sovereign Identity platform to empower the
worldwide Healthcare industry to issue Identity-based Verifiable
Credentials through a secure, effective and cost-efficient
ecosystem.
This ecosystem will allow qualified Health Professionals with
the ability to issue a Verifiable Credential that enables venues
and other facilities to verify both the issued credential and the
known user in real-time to grant access and / or services. This
partnership built on a Trust over IP (TOIP) open standards
framework, and the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) specifications
for decentralized identifiers for credential management, can power
interoperable COVID-19 vaccination and other verifiable credentials
across a host of user managed and controlled digital wallets and
applications. This process can be used for multiple use cases such
as Education, Workplaces, Tradeshows, Healthcare, Sporting Events,
Concerts, Entertainment, Travel, Places of Worship, Senior Living,
and other facilities, venues and locations and opens the door to
further opportunities for commercial and consumer
opportunities.
Liquid Avatar's Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) platform, which
includes user biometric validation and a bank-grade verified
identity credential, is available to consumers at no cost. Liquid
Avatar enables users to verify and manage their identity and access
credentials in a cloud-based, biometrically-secure application.
Users have complete control over their digital assets (like
wallets, passwords and more), identity, and data through easy to
use avatars that can be shared, on a permission-basis with others.
The COVID-19 Verifiable Healthcare Credential combines healthcare
data with the user's biometrically verified identity credential.
When a request is made by a Verifier, the User has a choice of
which attributes are shared, creating a private verification
transaction between themselves and a verifier. While much of the
technology and services are already in place, the launch of the
healthcare credential pilot is expected to take place in the first
quarter of 2021 to coincide with the expected release of the
COVID-19 widespread vaccination program.
This program will not only be able to verify identity
credentials for the Covid-19 vaccines, diagnostic and antibody
testing, but will also be able to support a wide range of
immunizations and healthcare records.
"We want to empower users to return to public life and the
things they once did freely, pre-COVID-19, with ease and continued
safety, with this and future credentials," said
David Lucatch, CEO of KABN. "Our goal is to help get
everyone back to life as efficiently and effectively as possible,
so a sense of "normality" can be reestablished. Liquid Avatar and
the ecosystem, together with this amazing group and a growing list
of partners, will potentially enable businesses, schools,
entertainment venues, and more do the normal things that they do
and give users the power to engage with them as they did before the
pandemic changed our lives."
Healthcare issuers and individuals will be granted access to the
system at no cost. Verifiers wishing to access the system will be
charged a nominal subscription and micro-payment per verification,
making it very cost efficient and effective to use the system for
small and medium sized enterprises all the way up to major
airlines, venues and facilities. The partners are committed to
making the services affordable to all parties, so that everyone can
get back to their everyday lives.
The KABN Network is working with leading industry partners to
provide a safe and effective ecosystem that supports the issuance,
ownership and verification of these verified identity and access
credentials and is proud to be working with the following partners
at the outset of this announcement covering a wide range of
technologies, issuer, consumer and verification engagement, with
additional partners to be named as the program grows.

US-based Health technology company, part of Providence Health

ecosystem of its kind dedicated solely to community-driven
standards development for patient-intermediated information
exchange using verifiable credentials, to support secure exchange
of vaccination information."

other venues and facilities with Automatic Contract Tracing, Loop

"The success Loop has had with our recent NCAA sporting
events using our venue tracing and management tools, only
reinforces the need for a unified verifiable credential that
consumers and businesses can trust. Working with KABN and Liquid
Avatar and their digital identity platform will provide our
customers - and ultimately consumers - with the level of trust
required to provide personal information such as COVID testing
results, vaccination proof, payment, and other sensitive personal
information required in today's changing landscape. We are thrilled
to be one of the first partners to work with KABN and Liquid Avatar
on an end to end solution that will provide this safety, security,
