The system is intended to verify that a person was physically present at a specific place and time without disclosing personal data.<\/p>\n<p>The filing covers more than 44 European countries under a European Patent Office application submitted in April. The companies have also applied for \u20ac74.3 million in European Union funding to support plans to roll out the system in regulated sectors including transport, smart city infrastructure and manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed system combines ultra-wideband sensing, decentralised digital identity credentials and zero-knowledge proofs. It is designed to create a record showing that a person was present within a defined zone, while allowing third parties to verify the claim without seeing the person&#8217;s identity or location details.<\/p>\n<p>According to the companies, ultra-wideband radar detects physical presence and confirms signs associated with a living person, including breathing and heartbeat. That event is then linked to a decentralised identifier held in a digital wallet and recorded on the Hedera network as part of a verifiable credential.<\/p>\n<p>The record includes a presence binding token, a zone identifier, a timestamp and a cryptographic hash. The companies argue that this creates an audit trail for sectors where proof of in-person attendance or access matters, while limiting disclosure of underlying personal information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regulatory push<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The patent filing comes as businesses and public bodies across Europe prepare for tighter rules on digital identity, auditability and cyber security. The companies said the system aligns with the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure and with standards for decentralised identifiers and verifiable credentials.<\/p>\n<p>They also pointed to the EU&#8217;s NIS2 cyber security regime, the eIDAS2 framework and the EU Digital Identity Wallet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/story\/patent-filing-backs-privacy-preserving-identity-system\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patent filing backs privacy-preserving identity system https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/story\/patent-filing-backs-privacy-preserving-identity-system Publish Date: 2026-06-19 05:00:00 Source Domain: securitybrief.co.uk The&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":275727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/securitybrief.co.uk\/uploads\/story\/2026\/06\/19\/compatible_neutral-person-transit-gate-verified-shield-city-icons-digital.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":275728,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275724\/revisions\/275728"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
