With the release of NFC reading capabilities, here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up your ShareRing ID with an e-passport.
An e-passport is a standard passport with an embedded chip that holds a verified copy of the holder’s identity details. ShareRing reads that chip with NFC, pulls the signed identity payload, and binds it to your encrypted Vault on device. Nothing is uploaded to a central database. See: ShareRing Me.
What you need
- A current e-passport (look for the small chip symbol on the cover).
- An NFC-capable phone (most modern iOS and Android devices).
- The latest version of the ShareRing app.
The three steps
- Open the ShareRing app and start a new ShareRing ID. Choose e-passport as your identity document.
- Scan the photo page of your passport with your camera, then hold the passport flat against the back of your phone so the NFC reader can read the chip.
- Run the in-app Face Match to bind the document to you. Your verified ShareRing ID is then stored locally inside your encrypted Vault.
From there, you control which services receive which credentials. Each consent is logged on ShareLedger. Each share is granular. The underlying ID never leaves your device. See: the three verification levels inside the ShareRing Vault.
That is the privacy KYC pattern in a single onboarding flow. Document-grade identity, captured once, reused with consent. See: seven things that make self-sovereign identity different.
Where we sit.
ShareRing has been building this technology since 2018. The encrypted Vault and self-sovereign ID model we put in the original whitepaper are the same architecture under everything we deploy today.
