CYBERSPACE—Gataca.io, a Spain-based digital identity and age verification provider, is introducing its advanced passkey Integration, enabling users to access age restricted services with a passcode stored in their device.
The passkey technology integration follows Gataca's recent focus on the entertainment sector, where government-mandated age-verification requirements are being rolled out across many E.U. countries and several U.S. states.
The new technology aims to simplify and streamline the user's age verification process and enable the broad public to seamlessly access age restricted services and content.
Passkey integration allows a user’s verification result, whether obtained through an ID wallet or facial age-estimation technology, to be securely saved to their device. Users can then at any time re-access the service instantly, using simply their device’s fingerprint or PIN.
After a user's age is verified, a device-bound passkey is generated and tied to their identity. The passkey is securely stored on the device, accessing the age restricted service. While accessing an age restricted service from this particular device, the user simply selects “Log in with passkey” and authenticates, using nothing more than their device access biometrics or PIN.
“At Gataca, we believe that a seamless user experience is essential to maintaining optimal conversion and retention rates for websites and services with age restricted content," said Peter Medvedik, Global Director for Strategic Partnership in Gataca. “Today, we can confidently say that Gataca’s facial age-estimation technology accuracy and light-speed algorithm set a new industry standard.“
