Telegram launched a service for storing user data
The Telegram messenger introduced the Passport service, which allows you to store documents and personal data of users and carry out authorization in services that require personal identification for actions.
The user will be able to upload documents with personal information to the cloud once, and then they will be transferred to third-party services if necessary - thus, the user does not have to enter his personal data every time.
The message of the messenger emphasizes that the data will be protected by end-to-end encryption, and the Telegram administration will not have access to them.
Soon we will add third-party verification to Telegram Passport. Due to this, some services will not need the data themselves at all - it will be enough for them that the Telegram account is verified and that the person is real (English).
- In the spring, the media wrote that the Telegram Passport service is primarily intended for the Telegram Open Network blockchain platform, which the owners of the messenger plan to launch in the near future. To do this, the company held two closed stages of the ICO and raised $1.7 billion.
