An open by design identity verification system built by and for researchers
VeriMe provides researchers a secure digital identity that enables verified access without exposing personal data.
VeriMe is a global digital identity and personhood verification service for researchers.
VeriMe can be directly integrated into existing systems for access to research data and resources, increasing integrity and trust in digital scholarship and research.
VeriMe eliminates the need for research systems, universities, and governments to collect and store sensitive personal information (PII) while also providing assurance that system access is limited to identity-verified users.
Researchers manage the sharing of their verified digital identity, can earn vouchers for their research service activity to exchange for access to research products and services, and may take a role in VeriMe governance.
