ShoCard provides a digital identity and authentication platform built on a public blockchain data layer, combining public/private key encryption and data hashing to securely store and exchange identity information, including biometrics such as fingerprint, facial data, iris patterns, and voice. Unlike centralized systems, users own and carry their identity data within a mobile app and decide with whom to share which parts. The blockchain validates information and confirms third parties who have certified the identity, with no central repository holding private data. The company is based in Cupertino, California. ShoCard was acquired by Ping Identity in March 2020, and around that period it introduced a digital document signing capability linking a blockchain ID to signed documents.
