Online and mobile credentials management company Jumio has announced enhancements to its proprietary ID card scanning service, Netverify.
Netverify offers businesses utilising mobile and online channels an effective means of authenticating the identity credentials of their customers or prospects.
The new release features ID image-capturing technology, which allows users to position their ID any way within the camera view. This automatically detects the ID edges, rotates and crops it in the frame, regardless of the angle at which the user is holding the ID. This results in a higher scan acquisition rate and an overall superior customer experience.
To ensure that the person presenting the ID to their device camera is in fact the individual featured in the ID, Jumio’s Face Match technology compares the customer’s face with the photo on their ID and produces a likelihood-of-match score. The latest release provides enhanced “liveness” detection technology, which is designed to detect even the slightest facial movements when the customer presents their face to their device camera.
This guards against use of IDs that are genuine but may have been stolen or otherwise being presented without the owner’s permission. Liveness detection ensures that the person is present and precludes a criminal’s attempt to pass the Face Match process by presenting a static photo image of the individual.
