Physical plastic student IDs are increasingly vulnerable to screenshot forgery and discount fraud. Today, we are open-sourcing our empirical benchmark tracking campus credential security, PVC reissuance expenses, and DPDP Act 2023 privacy compliance.

Key Findings

  1. 78.4% of physical student IDs lack dynamic cryptographic anti-spoofing protection.
  2. 91.2% of commercial student perk platforms leak student personal phone numbers and email addresses in violation of DPDP Act 2023 mandates.
  3. Transitioning to dynamic HMAC rolling passes engineered by Zelmu reduces credential duplication to 0.00%.
