Worldcoin 在波兰推出后，又在马来西亚和危地马拉推出 Orb 虹膜扫描设备

从本周开始，这些国家的居民将能够通过虹膜扫描证明他们的人性并接收他们的 World ID 数字身份

Worldcoin is continuing to roll out its iris biometrics-scanning Orb devices in new countries, with Malaysia and Guatemala being the latest additions. Starting this week, residents of these countries will be able to prove their humanity with an iris scan and receive their World ID digital identity and some of Worldcoin’s cryptocurrency.

Worldcoin 继续在新的国家推出虹膜生物识别扫描 Orb 设备，马来西亚和危地马拉是最新推出的设备。从本周开始，这些国家的居民将能够通过虹膜扫描证明他们的人性，并接收他们的 World ID 数字身份和一些 Worldcoin 的加密货币。

The company is framing the new Orb launches as an expansion of its proof of humanness concept which could help organizations distinguish between real users and spam bots. Last week, Worldcoin also started piloting the face biometrics system Face Auth to authenticate its digital ID.

该公司将新推出的 Orb 视为其人性证明概念的扩展，可以帮助组织区分真实用户和垃圾邮件机器人。上周，Worldcoin 还开始试点面部生物识别系统 Face Auth 来验证其数字 ID。

While Worldcoin is facing pushback in several countries, its deployment in Malaysia has the government’s approval. In August, Worldcoin and its developer Tools for Humanity signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with state research and development agency Mimos Berhad and e-government services provider MyEG.

虽然世界币在多个国家面临阻力，但其在马来西亚的部署得到了政府的批准。 8 月，Worldcoin 及其开发商 Tools for Humanity 与国家研究和开发机构 Mimos Berhad 以及电子政务服务提供商 MyEG 签署了谅解备忘录 (MOU)。

The Orb devices will be placed in shopping malls, universities and other high-traffic areas in Malaysia, with the aim of onboarding 10 percent of the country’s population by the end of the year, according to Tech in Asia.

据亚洲科技报道，Orb 设备将被放置在马来西亚的购物中心、大学和其他人流量大的地区，目标是到今年年底覆盖该国 10% 的人口。

Worldcoin also started piloting the Face Auth system in Malaysia last week. The security feature is now available in the Worldcoin app on both iOS and Android devices in the country.

世界币上周还开始在马来西亚试点面部验证系统。该安全功能现已在该国 iOS 和 Android 设备上的 Worldcoin 应用程序中提供。

With Face Auth, users can authenticate their digital ID with a face scan within the app, rather than having to use a native device biometric or rely on server-side processing.

借助 Face Auth，用户可以在应用程序内通过面部扫描来验证其数字 ID，而不必使用本机设备生物识别或依赖服务器端处理。

The feature is designed to be used in conjunction with the Orb devices, and users will need to scan their iris at least once to activate Face Auth. After that, they can choose to use Face Auth to authenticate their World ID when logging into the app or making cryptocurrency transactions.

该功能旨在与 Orb 设备结合使用，用户需要至少扫描一次虹膜才能激活人脸验证。之后，他们可以选择在登录应用程序或进行加密货币交易时使用 Face Auth 来验证其 World ID。

Worldcoin claims that Face Auth is more secure than native device biometrics because it does not store biometric templates on the user’s device or in the cloud. Instead, the app generates a unique biometric hash that is used to authenticate the user.

Worldcoin 声称 Face Auth 比本机设备生物识别更安全，因为它不会在用户设备或云中存储生物识别模板。相反，该应用程序会生成一个唯一的生物识别哈希，用于对用户进行身份验证。

The company also says that Face Auth is more convenient than native device biometrics because it does not require users to set up or remember multiple biometrics for different apps or services.

该公司还表示，Face Auth 比本机设备生物识别技术更方便，因为它不需要用户为不同的应用程序或服务设置或记住多个生物识别技术。

However, Worldcoin’s activities in South Korea continue to face regulatory hurdles. On Wednesday, South Korea’s data privacy watchdog slapped several fines on the organization for collecting information such as iris scans without a legal basis for processing, among other violations of the country’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

然而，世界币在韩国的活动继续面临监管障碍。周三，韩国数据隐私监管机构对该组织处以多项罚款，原因是该组织在没有法律依据的情况下收集虹膜扫描等信息，并违反了该国的《个人信息保护法》(PIPA)。

Worldcoin was fined 725 million won (US$551,828) by the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC), while Tools for Humanity received a penalty of 379 million won ($288,472), according to the Korea Broadcasting System (KBS).

据韩国广播公司 (KBS) 报道，Worldcoin 被个人信息保护委员会 (PIPC) 罚款 7.25 亿韩元（551,828 美元），而 Tools for Humanity 则被罚款 3.79 亿韩元（288,472 美元）。

The PIPC said that the company failed to inform users of the purpose of the collection and retention period and called on Worldcoin to guarantee that personal information, including iris data, would not be used for purposes other than compilation and to notify users of overseas data transfers.

PIPC表示，该公司未能告知用户收集的目的和保留期限，并呼吁Worldcoin保证包括虹膜数据在内的个人信息不会用于编译以外的目的，并通知用户海外数据传输。

As of September, more than 93,000 South Koreans downloaded Worldcoin’s World App wallet, while nearly 30,000 are estimated to have scanned their irises through the Orb.

截至 9 月，超过 93,000 名韩国人下载了 Worldcoin 的 World App 钱包，估计有近 30,000 人通过 Orb 扫描了虹膜。
