Honesty Online is developing an identity credential for Facebook
Facebook doesn’t offer a “verified profile” service. There does seem to be an opportunity here for a 3rd-party identity verification credentialing service. Honesty Online has looked at this opportunity. But how to build a robust solution, that is, one that provides a credential that itself can’t easily be spoofed, isn’t obvious. Our existing anti-spoofing security measures rely on close integration with the partner site offering our verification service, and can’t be directly reproduced on a neutral site such as Facebook.
So, today Honesty Online doesn’t offer an identity credential solution for user profiles on Facebook or other “neutral” (non-partner) sites. But I wouldn’t be writing about it if that weren’t likely to change in the not-too-distant future.
