Gataca announced Gataca Vouch, an Identity Provider solution for age verification that interacts with ID Wallets.
What happened
- Users scan a QR code with their ID Wallet and share an 'Age Over 18' (or required age) verifiable credential obtained within the Gataca Wallet.
- According to Gataca, no personal information is shared, not even exact age or birthdate.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Signicat's Wallet Hub and EUDI wallet work overlap with a wallet-credential age-verification flow; Gataca targets age-restricted sectors (adult, gaming, social, e-commerce).
- Claims of privacy and anonymity are vendor-stated and uncorroborated by independent evaluation in the article.
