Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. announced that it has launched its updated feature-rich Self Sovereign Identity App, Liquid Avatar, allowing individuals and applicable entities to manage and control the use of their own age and other personal identifiable information, where appropriate, identity, affiliations and other information and personalized data digitally in a safe and secure platform based on open standards. The Liquid Avatar Mobile App is part of Liquid Avatar Technologies' verifiable credentials ecosystem ("LAVCE"), which includes technology to support, Holders of credentials (individuals and entities), Issuers of credentials (governments, educational & financial institutions, workplaces, gaming platforms and Metaverses), and Verifiers of credentials (payment processors, commercial businesses, venue operators and online merchants and websites). The Liquid Avatar Mobile App is available on the Apple AppStore and Google Play.

The Liquid Avatar Mobile App and the LAVCE can support a wide range of physical and online requirements to prove identity without disclosing unnecessary information that is not germane to the request, complying with new and increasingly more challenging regulatory requirements. With the ability to integrate into 3rd party apps through its upcoming SDK (software development kit) and APIs (application programming interfaces), App providers and game developers, payment processors and others will be able to offer these services directly inside their own apps and platforms without the necessity of sending someone to another App or service for verification of their identity. With Machine Readable Governance, which is composed of elements that help to establish trust and enable interoperability including trusted participants, schemas (templates for structuring information in a credential), and rules and flows for presenting credentials and verifying them, Verifiers are empowered to decide which credential issuers meet the proper jurisdictional requirements needed for the interaction.

The Liquid Avatar Mobile App and LAVCE can also support access to websites, games, age verification and other access portals without the use of a username and password, using verifiable credentials and biometrics, which eliminates the need for a user to remember countless pieces of information, or run the risk of account compromise. One of the key new features being introduced to the Liquid Avatar Mobile App is Encrypted Messaging. Using W3C protocols and Decentralized Identifier Communication ("DIDComm"), this is an early adopter application that brings this new, cryptographically secure messaging to the market, providing security over communications between parties that is not dependent on phone or telecommunications protocols.

Encrypted Messaging can be tied to other Liquid Avatar features like reusable identity credential or biometric challenge for increased privacy, safety, and security.
