Civic is an identity management service that provides users the ability to protect and authorize the use of their identity in real-time. The Civic Secure Identity Platform (SIP) lets users access their data via a Civic Secure Identity App (Civic App) and secure the data using high-level encryption and biometric locks. This makes it harder for malicious groups to gain access to a user's information, while the decentralized architecture also help in verifying the data authenticity and ownership.
