Nuggets – Modern Authentication and Data Security in the Digital Era
Why Is Data Security So Important Today?
At Finture, we strive to stay up-to-date with technological innovations. That’s why we monitor the startup scene and choose partners who genuinely shape the future of digital services. One such partner is Nuggets – an innovative platform for user verification and payment authorization based on blockchain technology. This solution has been recognized by Deutsche Bank, Payments Awards 2020, Booking.com, and many other institutions.
In an era of increasing cyberattacks and fraud, protecting digital identities and securing online transactions has become a top priority.
How Does User Authentication Work?
Traditionally, authentication relied on “something you know” – a username and password. The problem was that passwords are easy to forget or guess. Later came “something you have” – e.g., cards with codes – which can be lost, stolen, or hacked.
The PSD2 Directive introduced the requirement to combine multiple methods, including “something you are” – biometrics (e.g., fingerprint or facial scan). Today, the standard is single sign-on: username + password, followed by biometric verification.
👉 Nuggets idzie o krok dalej: łączy biometrię z blockchain, by zapewnić bezpieczną autoryzację i uwierzytelnianie transakcji.
What Makes Nuggets Stand Out?
-
Stores login, personal, and biometric data on the blockchain,
-
Gives users full control over who can access their data and when,
-
Enables biometric login (facial scan, fingerprint) and eliminates the need to remember passwords,
-
Uses W3C standards and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) – allowing users to verify their identity without revealing personal data,
-
Offers additional security features, such as a PIN, providing flexibility.
Why Nuggets Improves Transaction Security
Today, each user has an average of 50 accounts. Nuggets removes the need to remember passwords and log into multiple systems. By combining biometrics and blockchain, it:
-
Eliminates the risk of identity theft,
-
Protects against fraud,
-
Ensures that only the account owner can authorize a transaction.
👉 If both parties in a transaction have a verified identifier, unauthorized payment requests are automatically blocked.
GDPR and PSD2 Compliance
Legally, Nuggets meets all key regulations:
-
GDPR,
-
Meets PSD2 requirements,.
Modular – you can implement login, transaction authorization, or full identification. Moreover, by using standards such as:
-
W3C Verifiable Credentials (VC),
-
Decentralized Identifiers (DID),
-
DIDComm Messaging,
-
Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI).
All of this makes Nuggets offer truly global interoperationality as Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI).
