Technology Behind An Inclusive Decentralized Digital Identity

Date: 2023-04-11 (12:30-13:30 CEST) Location: Zoom

Organizer: European Association for Biometrics (EAB)

Attendance is free of charge but registration is required.
Registered participants will receive dial-in credentials the morning of the event.


Speakers: Rahul Parthe
Program | Registration

Digital ID is a trend. But how should the technology solution be designed to make digital identity secure, private, inclusive, and compliant with the main standards and requirements? During his presentation, Rahul Parthe, Co-founder, Chairman, and CTO of TECH5 Group, will share his vision and approach in creating a web3 compliant Digital ID using TECH5’s and partner’s technologies. This approach allows to facilitate online and offline verification of a Digital ID, issued in an electronic or printed format, and bind an identity holder to their digital ID biometrically.

Curriculum vitæ

Chairman of TECH5 Group, Rahul Parthe oversees TECH5’s product and technology strategy, focusing on developing disruptive biometric and digital ID technology platforms through the application of AI and Machine Learning.   Rahul possesses deep expertise in leading research and development of AI-based biometric algorithms, including innovative contactless fingerprint capture and digital ID technologies for mobile devices, such as T5-AirSnap and T5-IDencode. A combination of sustained investment and single-minded dedication to the development of biometric modalities that capitalize on AI has resulted in TECH5’s algorithms developed by Rahul Parthe and his team being consistently ranked in the top tier of NIST ranking for face, fingerprint and iris recognition technologies.  Rahul was the key system architect of UIDAI program which has enrolled more than 1.3B identities till date. He is also the lead architect for Indonesia National ID that now holds 193 million tri-modal enrollments. Other key organizations where Rahul was or is involved as a visionary and a technology architect include Identix, L1 Identity Solutions, Securimetrics, Morpho and InterBio.
