hello everyone so today I'll be talking
about something called ID box ID box is
it's a project for nonprofit building a
foundation for identity in developing
country so I will try to stay high level
because it's I don't know much off time
to view a very technical aspect to the
product I would rather prefer telling
you what I've been doing what we've been
doing in developing countries around
identities and I first bought myself
from a developer entrepreneur and I've
got a master Nietzsche con engineering
and Master in computer science and I've
been doing different projects around
FinTech transportation energy all kind
of project and then I will tell you what
I'm telling you all of this so the main
problem worldwide already people a lot
of people already mentioned this problem
but you've got 1.5 billion people in the
world that like official identification
and we're talking about countries where
you don't have internet you know
electricity and you don't want smart
phone so if you think about all this
different started that try to solve the
identity problem by building a very
fantastic smartphone application for
those people it's it's not relevant
because they don't have a smart phone so
they can really use the application so
we we building we're using we starting
to use blockchain and we're building all
this kind of crazy application but still
those people they cannot really profit
from the the new technology so I've been
for the past nine months I've been
trying to build something that
developing country could use in order to
first create a unique identity and then
access to different services and the
main goal is having a device
don't really need internet don't need a
great electricity and doesn't require
smartphone so and the people can use it
by having either analog phone or by
having a smart card and also has to be
has to be cheap so anyone can actually
buy it and the private information from
the user is not saved into social
database like the Estonian government is
doing or like the other project from
India so we'll quickly show you a video
what I've been doing the video is a bit
less nine months old so the project
involved well you don't have time to
edit the video so that enables people
within developing countries to create a
unique identity the ID box device is
composed of a Raspberry Pi SMS chip
fingerprint recognition and the solar
panel by combining these components it
allows us to create a secure identity
based service that will revolutionize
the way that developing countries
participate in a range of activities
from Papua New Guinea to Ghana to Samoa
we are able to ship the device to any
local area even if they don't have power
or the internet the devices which cost
less than fifty dollars are hosted in a
range of centralized areas like schools
churches banks and coffee shops people
use their SMS phones to text the ID box
device to create a unique mapping of
their phone and fingerprint creating a
personal ID once someone has created an
ID they don't need to use the Box again
unless they want to assign their ID to a
new phone across the country millions of
people do not have an ID this is John he
has recently heard about ID box using
his phone and the local ID box which is
located at is nearby church he is able
to create a unique ID he sends an SMS to
the ID box to activate the registration
process he puts his finger on the
fingerprint scanner the box then
encrypts the fingerprint using an
advanced encryption process and then
sends the hash of the fingerprint by a
ms2 the blockchain attached with John's
phone number if the identity doesn't
exist it then creates a new identity on
the blockchain and sends a confirmation
message to John on his phone
to confirm his new unique ID with his
new identity John is now able to view
his balance history of transactions he
has made and to securely transfer money
to other people who have created a
unique ID each time John wishes to make
a transfer with other active users his
unique ID is verified against the
blockchain he is quickly notified of his
transactions on his phone he can also
participate in voting systems health
care registration and ownership of land
thanks to ID box John's engagement with
these activities has been revolutionized
so this was the video from 9 months ago
so you can think about all the different
problem is not possible today the
private key or unique here from a
fingerprint well it's not actually
entirely true if you state your very
local village and you use like kind of
like fuzzy logic extractors and ROI
stuff that's what I've actually been
doing in two different place in the
world that was the first implementation
of the ID box looks like a bomb but it's
not so basically use Ivy's sensor you
got the phone number on the bottom of
the box don't text it that was my
mistake I put the phone number but no I
had to delete it because people were
sending me SMS and you've got a SIM card
on right hand side so basically the SIM
card can be bought from anywhere in the
world so you ship the box to this do the
idea this is the main idea basically you
ship the box we need local area and then
they just have to buy a local SIM card
to have either internet communication or
SMS / communication and then the solar
panel charge the box because you don't
have electricity and you can also add a
passport and information on us on the
screen then I build this new version
that was a new version of the ID box
version one I called it I want to Papua
New Guinea to run a proof of concept
that was using private private data
based through for three different
institution the Central Bank of Papua
New Guinea the micro economy loan and
mobile mobile mobile providers but the
problem is this kind of box can be very
easily Hucky and people can perform like
if you try to copy your fingerprint from
someone and then try to create a new
identity so then I saw I forgot to be
moved and stuff then I raised quite a
lot of money from private grants not ICO
and so with the money I was was caught
with a lot of money but this was my new
desk so I moved from my dust desktop to
my living room and I build open-source
2d printer so basically the idea was to
build kind of open source opens to the
entire project and build AI that
everyone can actually build the ID box
to create a unique identity so I design
and I put the file online so everyone
can actually don't know them and can
they can play with the ID box that was
version so version one on the top and
actually am I'm the first one
I mean ID box is the first one to create
a first 3d printed a Java card that Evan
can print and modify and can save like a
personal token inside from a dairy
fingerprint template I will show you why
it's it can be used for so that's the
that's a new ID box so you've got a
Linux distribution system and a screen
inside rather than having just raspberry
pi because what we spiteful for people
they're not really a technology they
don't really you know I interact often
with screens and technology you know in
a very remote area so you do you have
good screen and you can do different
kind of you can access different
services so you can you can involve
yourself so you can create a unique
identity and you can um you can use the
box as a voting system or send money or
receive money so if you if you remember
the previous presentation they were
talking about how costly it is to
receive money for those people in a
village most of the time they have to
travel six hours into the capital to
receive money from the son who for
example walks in Australia so the sense
and money to to Papua New Guinea to
Western Union Western Union most of the
time thirty forty percent and then the
person's the village asked to travel to
the capital six ours cost them about one
hundred one hundred the local money over
there which is almost the money they
would receive for them son from this one
so it's a complete disaster but this it
can use that to get away from receiving
money using an ATM card so you've got
the sim card on the side you got the
solar charging port
you got charging ports so people can
actually sell electricity to other
people in the village why is it
important for people of the day they've
got analog phone but they don't have
system to charge the analog phones so
they need to travel six hours to the top
of the mountain and find someone for
carrying very huge battery system and
then they buy the electricity with this
system a local shop they can actually
buy the box and then sell the extra city
back to the people in the village and
it's modular modular box so basically
what it is is you can increase the
security if you're talking about a big
village and you you you worry about
collision into creating your private or
public key and then you can add re
sensor and blood sensor you can add
different biometric system so using the
multimodal biometric identification
system at the end of the day the private
key obviously is never saved because you
are the
private key that's the main idea of the
project and you can encrypt either you
can sign whatever you want so I content
efficient system using you your own body
so Nick Johnson is everyday so I create
the I talked to Nick Johnson and a few
people from from the same foundation
like God and also other people from
Swami no acceptor so I build this first
ID box card they help Nick and so
basically we've got like about the
entire village now has got the card so I
can send you a unique public key of
those people and you guys can actually
send them money without passing by a
Western Union
so it's dark money from them which is
very quick and I've been working on
something new
haiji box ad wallet using a new Java
applet and using NFC and fingerprints
the USB token I put it there because it
was cool but it's not actually
functionable
and the idea is to you basically use
this card to sign transaction because
those people didn't have a smartphone so
the ID box will transfer the template or
the the private key to discard and then
the user can actually put his
fingerprint on the card and then sign a
token transaction and then very fine to
the box that is a real person
the pool concept so I'm gonna talk about
this one this one is really cool so we
we decided to go to Papua New Guinea
sure you guys know it's Papua New Guinea
it's on the other side of Australia
between and so you got New Zealand
Australia and then a little bit further
you've got Papua New Guinea Papua New
Guinea why Papua New Guinea if you look
at the statistics Papua New Guinea is
probably one of the biggest country in
the world where they people don't have
their identity it's about ninety percent
of the entire population not registered
so they don't exist so that was a big a
big challenge if we can build the ID box
over there if we can create identity in
this village in this country then ID box
can walk they can walk everywhere so we
won't there it's about five hours we got
a little bit stuck on the way like what
like five hours and so imagine those
those people first they don't have a car
if they have the bike it's probably
impossible for them to go to the capital
and then get founded get the money from
their son from Western Union because you
got to travel six hours sometime to take
the bus I'll let you imagine what the
bus were doing this on this road so the
village
it was very fantastic we called Aloha
you can look online and we register
people from the village and they were
really so for the main was very
interesting because they can sell a
tricity back to the people into the
village so they got incentive of buying
the box because then they want to if you
can sell electricity by charging the box
then people are more they want to carry
they want to take care of the box and
then so basically what it does you
create you create your biometrics send
it to the card and also the public key
of first the eastern card is linked with
your phone number and linked with your
public key of your biometrics and it's a
village of 150 250 people so the
collision into the village is not very
high and you use also GPS based location
system I know like proof of prison so of
position is not very it can be hacked
but if you add all this kind of
biometric into the system then you can
make hundred percent sure in a hundred
percent sure but that the person that
was created was unique and this is the
local soft the man so you see we've
actually done first transaction so this
woman we see him from the son who's in
Australia and they want to local shop to
get the money coming some looking at the
time coming features so I've been
looking to will be looking into zero
knowledge proof so making sure because
the main idea about identity which is
very difficult to build is you want to
build a unique identity system by the
same time you don't want to share your
information so it's a bit competitive
you you want to make sure I mean any
service for businesses like Bank
insurance and all this kind of
big companies what they want to do when
they want to know they want to know that
they want to be under percent sure that
the person is dealing with is unique
that's the main idea and they don't
really care about your information the
only reason why they actually get your
information they ask for your
information is for them to make sure
they are unique but if you can provide a
system first if we can make sure is they
are unique then there's no need for them
to get to take your identity so I've
been looking into and also talking with
fabian as well like it's building the
editing tip protocol into the eastern
which is fantastic so he also like
system where you can add multimodal
biometric system my fingerprint iris and
blood sensor i'm saying that remember
that this information is not safe
anywhere that's the main idea so only
the David key even the public key is
saved and then you always need to go to
the Box to sign transaction well if you
use the only the fingerprint with your
card then you can use the card but you
cannot use Ivysaur finger blood sensor
I've been looking into something called
actually I think we are the first one
trying to do that but it's called them I
called it then the identity a I am it's
basically like an ATM but more like for
identity system and the roadmap so we've
done version 1 version 2 done yeah we
playing a second phase of the prototype
in PNG so we got big institution over
there that following the project I mean
actually part and partner with the
project got some short Bank all the
mobile provider Insurance micro micro
loan micro credit so you can all those
different application can obviously be
used by the ID box so it's for nonprofit
so if you guys are very interested in
trying or helping a partnering if you
also building something with identity we
call I think I've got time for a few
questions and if you know so this one
was a nonprofit project and if only come
this afternoon for I'm building a flying
carpet so be a different discussion but
that's it I was I
you
