Government Applications
Programs where a benefit, a document, or a record is issued to one specific person, and has to reach only that person.
Benefits Programs
Bind SNAP and other benefits to the intended recipient's biometric instead of a transferable card.
A benefits card is transferable by design. Whoever holds it can spend it, and the program has no way to establish that the person at the register is the person the benefit was issued to.
Register
The recipient enrolls once at a government facility. The biometric is captured and bound to a Secure Identifier Number.Authorize
At the point of sale the recipient presents the biometric. No card, PIN, or account number enters the transaction.Settle
The benefit is released against the recipient's own authorization, and the event is auditable.Benefits fraud is estimated at $29 billion per year. The architecture addresses it by removing the transferable credential rather than by policing its use.
Visas & Immigration
Capture the applicant's biometric at issuance abroad and cross-reference it on entry.
A visa is issued in one country and presented in another, often months later. The document travels; the assurance that it belongs to the bearer does not.
Capture abroad
The process in the issuing country captures the biometric at application, establishing that the visa is issued to this individual.Cross-reference on entry
At the port of entry the traveler presents the biometric and it is matched against the record created at issuance.Accept
Document and bearer are confirmed as one. Zero trust holds from issuance through acceptance.This is the pattern Kenneth Kopf describes as zero trust from the government's issuance of a document to the individual's acceptance of it.
VA Home Loans
Authenticate and authorize the veteran across the full document lifecycle.
A lending file passes through issuance, underwriting, and closing. Each step asks who authorized this, and each step answers with knowledge-based checks that can be researched, guessed, or bought.
Register
The veteran enrolls once. The biometric is bound to the identifier used across the file.Authorize each event
Every authorization point in the lifecycle is confirmed by the veteran rather than by a password or a knowledge-based question.Evidence
The file carries auditable proof that a specific individual authorized a specific event.The same lifecycle logic applies wherever a government document is issued to a person and later relied upon by a third party.
Patient & Records Identity
Biometric patient identification for government hospital systems and secure record access.
Government health systems match patients to records using identifiers that are shared, reused, and exposed. A mismatch is a safety event; an exposure is a breach.
Register
The patient enrolls at the facility. The biometric is bound to the record, not to a number that circulates.Identify
Presentation of the biometric resolves the patient to the correct record.Access
Record access is authorized by the individual rather than by a credential that can be shared.Conventional identifiers stay out of the matching path, which reduces what an intrusion can carry away.
