TrueProfile.io announces new integration with uPort to enable its members to unify their digital identities

Dubai (ots) - TrueProfile.io, the global leader for the
verification of professional documents, has announced a new
integration with uPort to empower its members to take control of
their growing digital identities. By joining forces, TrueProfile.io's
members can utilise uPort's user-controlled wallet to store their
credentials, providing users with a simple, accessible and secure way
to share their verified documents.

The association between TrueProfile.io and uPort was orchestrated
due to the recognition of shared values between the two entities.
Both TrueProfile.io and uPort utilise blockchain to give their users
complete authority over how their personal data is accessed, owned
and shared. TrueProfile.io's members are encouraged to unite their
digital identities - including their verified documents - in one
decentralised place, the uPort app. From here, TrueProfile.io's
members can regulate who they share their personal details with on a
granular level.

The new integration highlights TrueProfile.io's commitment towards
future-proofing and longevity, so that its members can continue to
enjoy the benefits of their verified documents for the lifetime of
their career. With increasing discussions around the concept of data
protection, identity ownership and self-sovereign identity,
TrueProfile.io's move towards the decentralised storage of
professional documents ensures its members are ready for tomorrow;
particularly as the new integration with uPort follows the launch of
an identity verification service via TrueProfile.io.

Of the new feature, TrueProfile.io's Chief Digital Officer, René
Seifert says,

"TrueProfile.io has developed the integration with uPort as part
of our ongoing commitment to giving our members the best, most secure
and convenient verification services that they can use throughout the
duration of their career. uPort enables us to enhance the portable
aspect of our TrueProofs and by maintaining this through the use of
blockchain, our members have the freedom to have authority over how
their information is stored and who it is shared with."

Regarding the partnership with TrueProfile.io, uPort's Chief
Operating Officer, Alice Nawfal, says,

"We are excited to partner with TrueProfile.io to enable the
portability of employee verifications. TrueProfile.io's members will
be empowered to manage their own professional credentials in a highly
secure way. This is a very valuable use case for decentralised
identity, one that we expect will be transforming the future of
workplaces."

In practice, TrueProfile.io's members can simply download the
uPort app on a connected device, such as a mobile phone. By scanning
the QR code found on their verified TrueProofs, these verified
documents will be added to their uPort 'wallet.' Once added, the
TrueProofs can be quickly and easily shared with selected contacts at
the user's discretion, returning the control of digital identity back
to the user.
