ONYX Data Verification non-profit now with more than 100.000 active users

ONYX DATA VERIFICATION INTERNATIONAL™ (ONYX™ for short), a global agency for the review and verification of analog and digital documents has now more than 100.000 active users. ONYX is part of the non-profit MJFI and is based in Iceland, Brazil, South Korea and Japan. Founded in 2018, ONYX is the market leader in the niche segment of free digital verification service providers for governments and businesses.

ONYX was reportedly founded by American IT expert Kevin Johnson and internationally active Jewish security consultant Idan Schmidt. ONYX works with a 'data puzzle system' that stores all relevant data fragmented in several countries and assembles it when it is retrieved via any standard hosting company. This technology is considered to be unique.

ONYX itself claims to be a service for authorities of smaller states without reliable domestic digital verification services, as well as for small companies and educational institutions.

Using ONYX, the customer, for example a state, can provide a document with a QR code generated by ONYX. The QR code can be printed on the original document using printers from specific manufacturers that must meet defined standards. Only the necessary data is then stored at ONYX in fragmented form, distributed across numerous locations. A PIN number is also generated.

If the authenticity of a document is to be verified, the QR code can be scanned and the PIN entered. If the system has recognized both as correct, a confirmation of the document's authenticity appears. The system also provides a telephone number to a service center should there be any open questions.

The ONYX system recognizes even the most minimal deviations during transmission of the scanned QR code. Therefore, not every printer can be used. For digital documents there is a differently working copy protection, which is classified as secret by ONYX. With these methods, duplication by copying and similar methods is practically impossible.

On the part of commercial competitors, ONYX is criticized for the many processing steps that would cause unnecessary work for companies, authorities and other agencies. Data protection experts criticize the fact that the user data can also be sent through data channels that are unencrypted for stretches, if the user so desires. ONYX defends itself against this criticism, stating that the company does not store any documents or personal data, but only the multi-secured QR code with forgery detection features. Privacy is thus fully secured at all times.
