About Biofy

Built in a research lab.Hardened for production.

Biofy is a Norwegian deep-tech company commercialising cryptobiometric identity, developed over a decade at the Norwegian Information Security Laboratory (NISlab) at NTNU.

01

Mission

Make biometric identity safe enough to deploy anywhere — without demanding that users trust the operator of the database. We treat identity data the way cryptographers treat secrets: protected in storage, protected in transit, revocable on compromise.

02

Origin

The biometric cryptosystem was developed at NISlab (NTNU) across three EU-funded research projects — TURBINE, FIDELITY, and PIDaaS — producing the foundations of a private identity platform piloted in e-Citizen, e-Commerce, and e-Health scenarios.

03

Today

We operate in healthcare, corporate eID, and home care across the Nordics, partnering with public-sector institutions, national trust services, and telehealth providers. The Biofy platform is now available for self-service pilots and API integration.

Principles

Irreversible by construction

If our database leaks, no biometric is recoverable from it. Not a promise — a property of the math.

Revocable

Credentials can be rotated per user, per tenant, per breach. Biology doesn't have to be.

Interoperable

We speak FIDO2, OIDC, SAML, and the eIDAS trust framework. We don't ask customers to leave their stack.

Auditable

Open academic record. Patents where protection is warranted. No security through obscurity.
