Description

Identity Verification uses AI to verify that an individual presenting for access or authentication matches a known identity record, enabling secure and fast authentication, by matching a presented facial image against enrolled identity records, across security and access control systems.

Business Problem

Manual or credential-only identity verification is slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to fraud. Organisations face losses from identity theft, unauthorised access, and fraudulent authentication that traditional methods fail to catch reliably.

Solution

The AI matches a presented facial image against a database of enrolled identity records and returns a match confidence score, allowing access to be granted or flagged for further review.

Expected Value

Improved security, faster identity verification, reduced losses, and enhanced user experience

Prerequisites
  • A database of enrolled, labelled identity records with high-quality facial images is available and maintained
  • Camera or image capture hardware is deployed at the authentication point with sufficient resolution
  • A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) has been completed given the use of biometric data
  • Legal basis for biometric processing under applicable data protection regulation is established
