“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

On this week's episode of the ID Talk podcast, FaceTec's Jay Meier returns to answer some follow-up questions about his firm's innovative new "UR Code" solution. Whereas Jay had previously offered an overview of the solution, which essentially ties the biometric and biographic data of a registered individual to a QR code, this time he delves into some of the more technical aspects of the protocol, while also fleshing out the big picture of what it means for identity verification. Among other things, Jay explains the essential role of the “encoder” software, which extracts and formats user data from government databases, such as a DMV’s profile for a driver's license, to create a secure UR code. The conversation also dives into the importance of liveness detection for biometrics, a feature designed to ensure that only live, in-person scans are validated, adding a robust layer of security against fraud. Jay highlights how different vendors, like FaceTec, Idemia, and Paravision, each use proprietary algorithms for biometric data extraction, ensuring compatibility but protecting unique data formats. For institutions from DMVs to banks, UR codes offer a new way to streamline identity verification without compromising security, and Jay discusses potential applications, from digital driver’s licenses to banking and remote identity verification. And he underscores the fact that this new protocol isn't strictly wedded to FaceTec's own biometric liveness technology, offering opportunities for rivals to leverage the system. It could prove to be a tide that lifts all ships.…
This week, the ID Talk podcast welcomes Terence Kwok, the founder and CEO of Humanity Protocol—a blockchain-based digital ID project that uses palm vein biometrics to verify that each of its users is indeed a real human being, and not a bot.

But it has gained steam quickly, having drawn 25,000 registrations within the first 24 hours of the launch of its testnet, and quickly racing to accrue hundreds of thousands of users, as Kwok reveals in this interview. He also details some of the technical aspects of how the system works, discusses what's special about building on blockchain, and outlines some of his ambitious plans for where Humanity Protocol is going next. The conversation offers a fascinating look at how some of the most cutting-edge technologies of today are converging to create a new digital identity ecosystem, with Kwok bringing a lot of candor to the conversation—including his thoughts on the "head start" that rival World (formerly "Worldcoin") has attained with its controversial iris-scanning platform, a competitive challenge that he seems to welcome.

FaceTec's Jay Meier returns to the ID Talk podcast to delve deeper into his company's important new solution for identity verification—the UR Code. Officially announced at September's Identity Week America event in Washington, D.C., the UR Code is essentially a QR code that operates as a biometric ID. An issuing authority – such as a Department of Motor Vehicles – encodes the biometric and biographic data of an individual into the code, which can then be scanned and matched to the person's face, confirming that they are who the issuing authority believes them to be. It's a highly conceptual, well-thought-out system of identity assurance, and one that provokes a lot of follow-up questions, which Jay is here to answer. And Jay has thought carefully about this technology, and about identity assurance more broadly; besides his role as FaceTec's SVP of North American Operations, Jay holds important advisory roles with the Identity Theft Resource Center Biometrics Working Group and the Kantara Deep Fake IDV Working Group, and his expertise rings through whenever he speaks with the ID Talk team. Listen to the full conversation to get a thorough explanation of what UR Codes are, how they work, and why they're poised to solve some of the trickiest problems in identity verification.

On this week's ID Talk podcast, Jay Meier returns to expand on his ideas in a recent discussion about biometric binding—that is, linking a person's biometric data directly to their biographic information for the purpose of identity verification. Having previously laid out the foundations of the concept, Jay now answers a number of follow-up questions from ID Talk hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala in a conversation that touches on topics including the weakness of many device-native biometric systems, how biometric binding actually works in practice, and how FaceTec's technology is designed to render a biometric template totally useless to hackers. A bona fide expert, Jay has thought carefully about the conceptual underpinnings of biometric identity, and delivers a fascinating discussion, as always.…
FaceTec's Jay Meier returns to discuss the importance of biometric binding when it comes to identity verification. Why is that so important? The answer has to do with Jay's idea of "the PKI fallacy", which he discussed on his previous appearance on the ID Talk podcast. The key question, from Jay's perspective, is to figure out how to make sure that someone is truly linked to their identity credential, and not just to the device housing it. It's a high-concept discussion, and one well worth grappling with, given its relevance to some of the biggest questions around identity assurance. And with his influential positions at not only FaceTec but also the Kantara Initiative and the Identity Theft Resource Center, Jay is a bona fide expert.…
