Vereign Launches Beta Version of Blockchain Email Security and Identity Management Solution

[PRIBO247]

Vereign announced on December 4 the launch of its
blockchain-based solution beta version. Vereign’s plugin aims
to transform email authentication and identity management, by
utilizing the benefits of the distributed ledger technology to
deliver a wide range of features.

Vereign Utilizes the Full Potential of the Distributed Ledger Technology

The Swiss-based Vereign has designed a self-sovereign
identity blockchain solution which addresses efficiently the
vulnerabilities that have been plaguing email clients,
associated with malware and scams. It follows strict KYC
guidelines based on the Swiss banking standards to allow
users to safely store their identity data using cryptography.
Therefore, they can only transmit the information they choose,
while they can also define their own levels on information that
would be shared with different groups of contacts.

Vereign signs emails digitally and therefore can get through
spam filters at a higher rate, which makes the solution suitable
for enterprise-grade applications. Additionally, digital
signatures enable users to sign and send authenticated and
verified documents. It can notify users once it identifies fraud
with suspicious sender alerts and uses a single sign-on which
doesn’t require usernames, passwords, or key management.
The blockchain keeps a record of an immutable transaction
history, on which users can find an eternal log of messages,
recipient identities, and delivery receipts.
Georg Greve, Co-Founder, and Chairman of Vereign stated:

“I strongly believe in the viral power of Vereign. Email
is one of the most powerful tools given to us by the
age of technology, and our mission is to greatly
enhance it with the advanced solutions available
today.” stated Georg Greve, Co-Founder, and Chairman of Vereign.

Vereign Plugin Enhances Security on the Existing Email Clients

Email is being used by 3.8 billion people worldwide which lays
it as the most important medium for business communication.
However, as the vast majority of cyber-attacks is conducted
via emails, Vereign’s solution provides a protected channel of
communication between senders and recipients.

Vereign empowers users with full control of their personal data
and offers unique usability. Its beta version is currently
available on Gmail, while integrations with Roundcube and
LibreOffice are soon expected.
