TACEO Network: privacy by design

TACEO, an Austrian startup, has launched a network designed to perform computations on sensitive data while keeping it protected. The TACEO Network is already operational within World ID's biometric verification system, which has over 18 million users.

The main goal is to enable organizations to share digital infrastructure without compromising data confidentiality. An example is the verification of new users' irises in World ID, where it is essential to ensure that the iris is not already registered, all while processing encrypted data.

This technology fits into a broader context, where data protection and digital sovereignty are becoming increasingly important, especially for companies operating in regulated sectors or processing personal information.
