Nuggets, a blockchain/fintech company, has partnered with LexisNexis to deliver self-sovereign identity (SSI) solutions to banks and other financial institutions

Adopting SSI fundamentally shifts the way personal data is owned, shared and controlled in favor of the user, according to the press release, and is also designed to protect organizations against the cost of privacy breaches, while giving them faster processing and reducing compliance cost.Nuggets has a technology partnership with Onfido to secure its blockchain payment and identity solution with face biometrics.“Effective solutions that can digitally identify and authenticate a person more quickly, more accurately and more securely, can have wide-ranging benefits for individuals, organisations and society as a whole, from reducing the time it takes consumers to acquire goods and services, to widening access and reducing fraud and money laundering,” states LexisNexis Risk Solutions MD for the UK and Ireland Steve Elliot. “It’s really exciting to think that innovations like these could help reduce the increasing prevalence of large-scale breaches of consumers’ personal data. We’re really excited to be working with Nuggets to explore how SSI can help achieve those benefits whilst maximising data privacy and security for consumers.”The companies have been working together since last year, resulting in the joint go-to-market commercial partnership.About LexisNexis:LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group is a portfolio of brands that span multiple industries providing customers with innovative technologies, information-based analytics and decision tools and data services.
