For the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS)

In the Convenience Retail channel, age restricted items represent roughly 50 million transactions a day!  Restricted items traditionally have been limited within a single transaction, with the age checked using a driver’s license.  Regulatory scrutiny now extends to industry-wide sales of items to individuals no matter where they purchase them, and verifying age for the sale of those items using a driver's license presents a big privacy threat.  Addressing this issue, NACS has created the TruAge program using W3C Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials. Working with our partner Conexxus, NACS has been able to provide a system using open standards that gives a clear “on ramp” for additional participants in the ecosystem.  TruAge supports both in-store and on-line transactions, providing safe and responsible sales of age restricted goods while preserving consumer privacy.

Respectfully,
Brian E. Kimmel
