Worldcoin Partners with MIMOS to Elevate Digital Identity in Malaysia
MIMOS Berhad, the Malaysian Government’s applied research and development arm, has teamed up with the Worldcoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity (TFH), along with MyEG, a leader in e-government services, to infuse Worldcoin’s technology into Malaysia’s digital infrastructure through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Expanding Digital Credentials with Worldcoin Technology
This partnership aims to utilize the Worldcoin protocol and TFH technologies to enhance both current and future digital credentials projects, confirming the critical role of digital proof of humanness in the AI era. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in Malaysia’s digital validation processes, using TFH’s cutting-edge iris imaging technology to authenticate individual uniqueness accurately.
Collaborative Efforts and Technological Integration
The MoU outlines several potential areas for further cooperation, including:
- Joint manufacturing of Orb devices.
- Integration of World Chain with Malaysia’s National Blockchain Infrastructure.
In alignment with this partnership, the Worldcoin Foundation commits to maintaining the open-source nature of its technology. TFH will lend its technical expertise, focusing on the development and support of both the Orb and the World App. MyEG will handle the technical integrations and oversee hardware deployment across the country.
Innovations in Privacy and Global Accessibility
This agreement follows Worldcoin’s recent expansion into European and Latin American markets, where over 6.4 million people have globally verified their humanness. Worldcoin has also introduced a secure multi-party computation (SMPC) system, which significantly enhances privacy by encrypting each iris code into multiple secret parts, ensuring individual uniqueness is verified without compromising privacy.
