Launching the Cipheredtrust API blog

Today we're launching the blog for the Cipheredtrust API with the hope of putting a solution on the market that fully addresses the problem of identity verification on the internet.

Checkout the API here: https://www.cipheredtrust.com/

We'll have a lot more to say going forward. In the meantime feel free to post questions here or in the community forum.

How the FCC can prevent fake comments

The FCC is planning on making changes to its commenting system to deal with fake and abusive comments. Our digital certificate solution is tailor made for this type of problem. With this service, users can leverage their IRS tax transcript as a source of trusted identity information. The service is described in full: https://www.cipheredtrust.com/using-irs/ With the option to both use the API or just generate information certificates, tax payers can finally make valuable use of the trust associated with their transcript information. The certificate can facilitate both anonymous and positive ID verification. And it is currently free!!

IRS Data Retrieval Tool for FAFSA: A perfectly predictable use case

We went through a painful process of trying to get the IRS to integrate into the Cipheredtrust API, without success of course. In the end we had to settle for a browser extension which requires us to hold tax information (only in computer memory for a given session). We hope that eventually we'll be able to convince the IRS to do the integration for the good of every taxpayer who needs it. Recently the FAFSA tool (called the IRS Data Retrieval tool) which students rely on to pull data directly from the IRS into their application was shutdown due to security concerns. The case we made to the IRS for supporting this integration specifically made reference to the integration of the IRS data-source into the Department of Education application as an example of how making it easy and secure for people to leverage their tax information can deliver great value. The benefit of the data retrieval tool is two fold, first it is convenient for students since it automates the completion o...
