Charles Herder (left) and Tina Srivastava (right), co-founders of California-based privacy company Badge Inc., are named on U.S. Patent No. 12,574,371 for a system that authenticates users by splitting biometric data into “shards” stored across multiple servers, so no single location holds the complete identifier. Both founders have innovation ties to Dallas. Pictured with them is Dan Kaufman (center), a cybersecurity veteran known as “DARPA Dan,” who joined Badge in 2024 as SVP of AI and cybersecurity. The company, which emerged from stealth in 2024, was named to TIME’s Best Inventions of the Year and Fast Company’s Innovation Team of the Year in 2025. [Photo: Badge Inc.]
