By building upon existing credential systems from reputable organisations (e.g., national IDs, banks), GIP can provide reliable assurance of user authenticity potentially including age without reinventing identity frameworks.
It aims to eliminate friction in user workflows while maintaining strong security and remaining scalable.
GIP functions across different contexts online, in-person, even over the phone and supports both named and anonymous authentication, offering adaptability for age assurance scenarios that may require either anonymity or identity linkage.
The protocol relies on verified credentials instead of probabilistic methods (like behavioral biometrics or age inference).
GIP is a networked identity framework that reuses trusted institutional credentials for secure, friction-free verification. It’s flexible, scalable, privacy-aware and aligns with AATT’s privacy, usability and integration principles.
