Hitachi Research & Development is teaming up with blockchain developer Concordium Foundation to create a \u201cproof of technology\u201d for a biometric crypto wallet, according to a December 12 announcement. <\/p>\n
The new wallet will allow users to generate a set of seed words using just their fingerprints or facial scan. It will not require users to store these seed words or remember them. Instead, users will be able to re-import the wallet\u2019s accounts by undergoing the biometric scan a second time, Concordium representatives told Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n
The wallet is still in an early stage of development, and the two respective teams refer to it as a \u201cproof of technology\u201d at this point rather than a full-fledged wallet. Once finished, it will employ Hitachi\u2019s Public Biometric Infrastructure (PBI) in combination with Concordium network\u2019s self-sovereign identity framework to create biometric-based accounts.<\/p>\n
