Eager to shatter the dominance of American tech giants like Google and Facebook, an alliance of German corporations announced on Monday the launch of a single sign-on key for network applications. The data platform will be called Verimi - a combination of the words “verify” and “me” - and is set to be launched in early 2018. Verimi will encompass a single sign-on "master key" meant to simplify the process of logging into websites and utilize Internet processes more securely. With online publishing platform Medium, users can choose to sign in with either their Twitter, Google or Facebook account. But now German corporations are doing something about it with a common registration, identity and data platform in mind.
