Basic Information
1Kosmos’s flagship solution, BlockID, offers the highest level of identity and authentication assurance in the market for the workforce and customers. The company is headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, with development offices in Mumbai, India. BlockID products go beyond all passwordless solutions on the market by bringing decentralized identity to workforces and customers. The company’s indisputable ID-proofing process leverages user-uploaded identity credentials. This is backed by the use of advanced biometrics to ensure customers know for a fact who is accessing systems, applications and secure data.
