International software development company deverium is introducing alongID, making the process of digital identity verification easier.
According to the company, alongID is a digital identity orchestration engine for cross-border identity verification (IDV), supported by a digital wallet that keeps data privacy at its core while enabling identity credentials to be shared and verified across borders.
This platform offers a solution that simplifies customer onboarding for businesses and empowers users with autonomous control over their personal digital information, all within one app, the company said.
Existing identity verification systems often function well within a single country or region but falter when applied across borders. This creates significant hurdles for businesses operating internationally and for individuals wanting to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
The new digital identity orchestration engine, alongID, is empowered by verified identity providers—GBG and Regula—who were the first to trust the product and have established strategic partnerships with deverium. This enables businesses to onboard users from diverse markets while ensuring compliance with local regulatory and security standards.
By enabling users to verify their identity once and reuse those credentials across multiple services, the new solution accelerates onboarding, improves customer experience, and contributes to a stronger bottom line for businesses by reducing onboarding drop off rates and expenses related to KYC processes.
“We are reimagining digital identity—because it’s no longer enough to rely solely on biometrics, KYC, or AML checks. For effective cross-border verification, an authentic mix of diverse attributes is essential,” said Edvardas Maslauskas, CTO of deverium. “This, combined with our reusable credential system, creates a truly unique and globally applicable solution—one that solves a critical problem for individuals and businesses worldwide.”
The use of zero-knowledge proofs is at the heart of the digital identity product’s approach to data privacy. This technology allows users to verify specific aspects of their identity, such as age or name, without disclosing full identity document information. This granular control over data sharing enhances user privacy, reducing unnecessary data exposure.
“Unlike existing solutions, our digital ID orchestration engine leverages blockchain-based authentication and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure both security and user privacy. alongID enables users to manage their digital identity as well as their relationship with businesses from a single app, removing the need to oversee multiple different communication channels with each business. The alongID wallet serves as a secure repository for user credentials, giving individuals complete control over their digital identity,” said Maslauskas. “Users not only decide what information to share and with whom, but also have the option to revoke access to their shared credentials at any time.”
alongID ensures all processes are fully compliant, relieving businesses of the burden of keeping up-to-date with various ever-changing global regulatory frameworks, including GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, ISO, and others.
The alongID workflow engine further strengthens the product’s offering by allowing businesses to customize their verification processes to meet specific compliance requirements as well as connect to a broad network of verified identity verification providers.
This adaptable workflow, similar to the flexible payment infrastructure offered by companies like Stripe and Klarna, allows businesses to select necessary verification steps and integrate seamlessly with their existing systems. This gives businesses operating in multiple markets the power to tailor their approach to local regulations while maintaining a unified, secure identity verification system.
This adaptability is key to meeting the diverse needs of businesses across industries and geographies, according to the company.
