Identiq

Identiq is an Israeli cybersecurity company that operates a privacy-preserving identity-validation network. The company enables businesses to verify user identity details — such as whether a phone number or email address is legitimate — by cross-referencing with other network members, without any member actually sharing raw personal data with another. The underlying mechanism is based on secure multi-party computation, meaning validations are performed without exposing the underlying datasets to any party.

Identiq's network allows companies — primarily in financial services, e-commerce, and other fraud-sensitive industries — to validate identity signals during account creation, login, or transaction flows. The buyer is typically a fraud or trust-and-safety team. Rather than relying on a central data broker, members of the network query each other peer-to-peer: a company can confirm whether it has seen a given identity attribute before, and receive a confidence signal in return, without learning anything about the querying party's user base or exposing its own. This architecture is designed to address both fraud reduction and data-privacy regulatory constraints simultaneously.
