Trust Identity Protocol: Launch + Hands-On Session | OC Tech Week

The AI Lab is launching the Trust Identity Protocol (TIP) at OC Tech Week. Join us for a live presentation, then a hands-on session where you get verified and sign your first piece of content before you leave. TIP is an open, post-quantum trust layer that proves who made content, how it was made, and whether it has changed since. As AI makes anything easy to fake, TIP gives creators, businesses and institutions a way to prove that the real thing is real. What you will do See how TIP works, from verified identity to signed content to public verification Get your TIP-ID, a verified human identity, with our team beside you Sign your own post or article, then watch anyone verify it Check any signed piece of content: who made it, and whether it has changed Who it is for Founders, creators, journalists, legal and healthcare teams, and anyone who publishes work that needs to be believed. What to bring A laptop with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Arc or Brave Your phone A government-issued photo ID, if you want to get verified on the spot We do not store your face image. It is used once to confirm you match your ID, then deleted right after processing. Nobody can retrieve it later, including us.
