SoundLinks DID – Secure Digital Identity in Sound for Thales

Transforming audio into a verifiable identity layer for defense, digital ID, and secure communications.

🔍 Overview

SoundLinks DID is like a QR code for audio – a patented protocol that embeds verifiable Decentralized Identity (DID) data directly into audible content—voice, music, or video—via an inaudible audio watermark. Just as QR codes embed information in visual form, SoundLinks embeds completely inaudible digital identifiers directly into audio streams.

Key capabilities:

Digital DNA embedding: Unique identifiers in audio streams
Real-time validation during playback, even without network access
Blockchain-linked identity through NFT integration
100% audio fidelity using quantum wave theory-based technology

Think of it as a secure passport embedded within sound—uniquely traceable and tamper-proof, ideal for defense, aerospace, and secure communications applications.
