How It Works

Humanity Protocol is building out a global infrastructure for human-based Self-Sovereign Identities (SSI), referring to decentralized identity models that provide users with full control and autonomy of their own identity data.

To ensure Proof-of-Humanity (PoH), Humanity Protocol uses two methods:

  1. Enrollment App: Available on both Android and iOS, it allows users to scan their palm print capturing the surface patterns of the palm to receive a palm print Verifiable Credential (VC) using a CNN machine learning model.

  2. Humanity Scanners: Hardware devices that use infrared light to map the unique vein patterns beneath the skin. These vein patterns are only detectable in a living body, making them impossible to replicate and one of the most secure identification methods available.

The mobile app provides a basic yet robust Proof-Of-Humanity within Humanity Protocol while the activation through the Humanity Scanners provide a full enrollment within the protocol

In both cases Humanity Protocol keeps personal data entirely confidential due to the implementation of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Proofs.
