Frequently Asked Questions

Sovio is a complete privacy-first digital identity platform covering the full identity lifecycle - from document verification and biometric liveness (Pramaan) to reusable tokenised KYC (Parichay), multi-factor authentication and passkeys (MultiAuth), threat intelligence sharing (Sanket), consent management (Consent), verifiable credentials (DigiCreds), trust registry governance (Setu), and the Sovio Wallet - a personal vault for credentials, passkeys, and consent receipts.

Sovio is built on privacy-by-design principles using open standards - OpenID4VC, W3C DIDs, FIDO2, OpenID SSF, and ISO/IEC biometric standards. Unlike traditional solutions that centralise sensitive data, Sovio uses tokenisation, decentralised identifiers, and cryptographic verification to protect user privacy while enabling secure identity transactions.

Sovio supports OpenID4VC for credential issuance and presentation, DIDComm for peer-to-peer messaging, FIDO2/WebAuthn for passkeys, OpenID Shared Signals Framework (SSF) for threat intelligence, W3C DPV for consent semantics, ISO/IEC 24745 for biometric reference protection, ISO/IEC 30107-3 for liveness detection, and ISO/IEC 19795 for biometric performance testing.

Sovio covers the entire digital trust lifecycle: verify identity (Pramaan), hold credentials in the Sovio Wallet, reuse verified identity across institutions (Parichay), authenticate with passkeys (MultiAuth), share threat signals (Sanket), manage consent (Consent), issue portable credentials (DigiCreds), and govern the ecosystem (Setu).
