About

HonestID

Read full description

HonestID uses human connection to prove you are who you say you are. It stops impersonation attacks on any communication channel, without ever monitoring your conversations. One rule has held your entire life: if you could see someone's face or hear their voice, you knew it was them. AI has broken that rule. AI face and voice clones make attackers indistinguishable from your colleagues, customers and loved ones. Instead of trying to guess whether a face, voice or message is AI generated, HonestID goes straight to the source: the real person gets a challenge on their own registered phone and confirms or denies it in seconds. The verification takes place on HonestID's own encrypted channel, completely separate from the conversation you're suspicious of, so a compromised call or mailbox can't touch it. WORKS ON EVERY CHANNEL - Video: verify on joining a Zoom, Teams or Meet call, before the meeting proceeds - Phone: check before you start, or mid-call the moment something feels off - Email: challenge a sensitive or unexpected request before you act on it - Messages: on SMS, WhatsApp or LinkedIn, when a message asks for action or money THREE PILLARS OF TRUST - Person: Face ID or Touch ID unlocks every response, so it comes from a real human, not a clone or a bot - Device: your account is bound to a single phone with hardware-backed proof of possession, so you reach the real owner, with no one in between - Context: the challenge is bound to the specific request, like a payment, so you confirm the action, not just the person TWO KINDS OF CONTACT - Quick Contacts confirm with one tap - Key Contacts add an Honest Key, a word or phrase only the two of you know, matched on your devices and never stored anywhere NOTHING TO BREACH Challenge content is end-to-end encrypted with fresh keys for every session and purged when the challenge ends. HonestID never sees your Honest Keys, questions or answers, never monitors your conversations, and stores no biometric data. FREE TO USE HonestID is free. There are no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. HonestID requires Face ID or Touch ID. Verification is two-way, so the person you're checking needs HonestID too.
