Attest: digital ID checks without handing over the ID
Attest describes a phone-based credential check that lets a person share selected facts with a verifier without showing the full ID.
- For
- Credential issuers and organizations checking identities
- Worth noticing
- Its age check shares an over-21 yes-or-no answer while withholding birth date, address, and ID number.
Field notes
The page says the holder approves each share with a fingerprint or PIN, and their phone signs a code that refreshes every 60 seconds. A verifier can scan it in a phone browser and receives a pass or fail, a photo for face comparison, and a list of withheld fields; the described age check reveals only an over-21 yes-or-no answer. The site also claims verification stores no server-side record, though the extract does not independently validate that privacy or security claim.
