These can be thought of as the digital equivalent of the cards in one's wallet, enhanced with ultra-strong security and privacy properties .

Our first technology offering, U-Prove , was acquired by Microsoft , which released it from 2010 to 2014 under an open-source license in the form of software development toolkits and integration code .
Starting in 2015, the core U-Prove techniques were adapted by, among others, the Trusted Computing Group (for platform authentication) and the World Wide Web Consortium ("Verifiable Credentials") . These efforts replace the U-Prove issuing protocol by a "pairing-based" protocol in order to add a capability called "multi-show unlinkability." They also extend the revocation capabilities. However, these adaptations severely degrade the security and privacy protections of U-Prove, as well as its computational e
