Individual Centricity wins patent approval for identity technology to fight deepfake fraud

When AI can fake anyone, how do you know who's really there? IC-Corp answers at "The Door Back to Real™," a free virtual presentation on Thursday, November 12

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for Individual Centricity Corporation's (IC-Corp) U.S. Patent Application No. 18/328,438, Individually Centric Device, System and Method for Authenticating Device User Identity. Examination is complete and the claims have been found patentable. By working on the individual's own device instead of central databases, the approach addresses the flaw deepfakes now exploit.

According to Hong Kong police, in January 2024, a finance employee at engineering firm Arup's Hong Kong office joined a video call with his company's chief financial officer and several colleagues. He knew their faces. He knew their voices. He went on to send $25.6 million in 15 transfers to fraudsters. Every one of those people was a deepfake.

Every face on that call passed the question today's security asks: does it match? IC-Corp asks a different question: is the entity here right now the one you expect, and is that still true a minute from now? Not "does it match?" but "is it true?"

At "The Door Back to Real™" on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific, IC-Corp will share how it answers the question "When AI can fake anyone, how do you know who's really there?" The company will demonstrate how the 1TrueU™ approach works, and show the gap between today and the future. The free webinar runs one hour, followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers.

Technical milestones and validation

• Individually Centric Device System: The focus is whether it's the one expected, and still is, not whether it matched once.
• Learns the one, not the many: The system learns the individual instead of comparing them against a database of other people. Faking one channel is easy. Faking their agreement is the hard part.
• Decentralized data privacy: Verification happens on the individual's own device: no name, no address, no personal file, no database to steal. No surveillance, no stored personal data, just individual autonomy and sovereignty.
• Intellectual property expansion: IC-Corp also filed twelve additional provisional patent applications in October 2026.

"Everyone else is guarding a vault full of your data. We upload nothing that can be stolen or faked," said Bob DeKoning, CEO of IC-Corp.

Endorsed by Karl Friston. Friston, of University College London, is one of the most highly cited scientists alive and the main architect of the free energy principle, which explains how the brain predicts what to expect and notices surprise. IC-Corp's approach works the same way.

Co-founder Juval Löwy, named a "Software Legend" by Microsoft and founder of IDesign, is now leading the hiring of IC-Corp's development team to finish the product design and begin pilot testing in Q1 2027.
