DNA verification uses biometric authentication to confirm your identity before accessing or modifying your will. During setup, you provide a DNA sample which is analyzed and converted into a unique digital signature. This signature is stored securely using zero-knowledge proof technology, meaning your actual genetic data is never stored on our servers. When you access your account, your DNA is verified against this signature to ensure it's really you.

Question 12

Is my DNA data safe and private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We use advanced zero-knowledge proof cryptography to ensure your actual DNA data is never stored on our platform. Only a mathematical hash of your DNA signature is kept, which cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal your genetic information. Your DNA sample is processed by certified third-party laboratories following HIPAA and GDPR compliance standards. We never share or sell your genetic data.

Question 13

How long does DNA verification take?

The DNA verification process typically takes 3-5 business days from the time we receive your sample.

What if my DNA doesn't match during verification?
