Trust Onion is a newly launched app designed to protect users from AI voice cloning scams by utilizing three rotating codewords for verification during calls. The app generates codewords that change every minute, ensuring that overheard words quickly become useless. Users can also request a 'Proofie', a signed selfie that verifies identity through a unique passkey. The app is available on macOS, iOS, and Android, and supports 11 languages. It aims to help users, particularly older individuals, verify the identity of callers before sharing sensitive information. The app's features include a verification form for checking recent phrases and a callback request option for added security. Trust Onion addresses the growing concern over scams that exploit voice channels, as documented by Cisco Talos and other researchers. The app is free to use and does not require an account for basic functionality.
