Identity Verification & Proofing

Type
Description
What is identity proofing?
Identity proofing is establishing and validating a person's claimed identity to a required level of assurance, before issuing credentials or access.
What is document verification?
Document verification checks that an ID document is genuine, unaltered, and valid during identity verification. Learn how it works and how it detects fakes.
What is liveness detection?
Liveness detection confirms a real, live person is present during biometric capture, not a photo, video, mask, or deepfake. Learn active vs. passive liveness.
What is presentation attack detection (PAD)?
Presentation attack detection (PAD) is the technical discipline of detecting spoofs (photos, masks, deepfakes) presented to a biometric system.
What is selfie (biometric) verification?
Selfie or biometric verification matches a live selfie to the photo on a verified ID to confirm the person is the document's owner.
What is data validation (in identity)?
Data validation in identity checks that the information a user provides is accurate and consistent against trusted sources, often passively.
What is identity verification (IDV)?
Identity verification (IDV) confirms a person is who they claim to be, usually by checking an ID document and a live selfie.
What is KYC (Know Your Customer)?
Know Your Customer (KYC) is the regulated process of verifying customer identities to prevent fraud, money laundering, and financial crime.
What is proof of address verification?
Proof of address verification confirms where a customer lives, a common KYC requirement.
