$WLD The orb data protection about #Worldcoin! 🔒

When certain countries understand this, everything will become very bullish! 🚀

The orb, which verifies World ID, is a state-of-the-art device custom built by TFH for the Worldcoin project that verifies a person’s humanness and uniqueness using an iris code.

Importantly, all images used to create the iris code are automatically deleted by default.

Built into the orb’s hardware are diverse security features designed to ensure that no data can be accessed by anyone unauthorized to do so. These include two unique cryptographic keys both permanently burned into the Orb’s hardware: one which is provisioned into the main CPU prior to manufacturing and another located in a secure element that cannot be exported. The orb will not operate unless both keys are valid and their environments are intact, and no code can run on it without a cryptographic signature.

Additional orb hardware and backend data security protections include:

- Asymmetric data encryption at the orb

- RAM-only data processing

- Solid-state drive (SSD) encryption “at rest”

- Data encryption in transit from the orb to secure servers

- Use of secure, EU-based AWS and MongoDB servers for data storage of iris codes

- Regular security audits from 3rd party auditors

This list is not exhaustive. It’s instead intended to demonstrate the seriousness and robustness with which data security is handled at the orb. Security features are continually being evaluated and enhanced by TFH to ensure the integrity of the Worldcoin project.
