Future in Review host & COO Berit Anderson dives into how STR-ID is pioneering digital identity of the future through DNA blockchain technology in this interview with Paul McLaren, co-founder and CTO of STR-ID, about its innovative approach to linking physical identity to an individual's digital presence.By encrypting a person's unique DNA sequence on the blockchain, STR-ID establishes a lifetime ID that cannot be stolen or altered. Paul explains how STR-ID operates through a blind system to give users control over their genetic data, unlike centralized databases used today.Key takeaways include applications for securing financial assets, recovering lost accounts, identifying remains after disasters, and more.
