Opening a bank account or renting a car usually means an identity check on the spot or a live video chat. But with jenID Solutions, users can enjoy secure and convenient ID verification via smartphone, tablet or computer. This process is completely automated and, as such, is more secure as a method of authentication than when performed by a person. As opposed to video chat solutions, jenID users are able to carry out verifications 24 hours a day, as they are not dependent on other people's working hours. To increase security, the app has now been enhanced with the "Face Matching" and "Liveness Detection" features.How the verification procedure works:
Using a laptop, tablet or smartphone camera, the person needing verification takes a photo of the front and back of their required ID document (identity card, passport, driver’s licence etc.). The image is then sent to the jenID verification server, which, with the help of Genuine-ID, the software from jenID Solutions, checks all properties for authenticity of the document and synchronises them to an ID database.
Authenticity guarantee: Blinking and smiling
Following this, the person is asked to look into the camera. The features of the face are compared with those in the document photo ("Face Matching"). The person is then asked to close their eyes for a brief moment, and finally to smile ("Liveness Detection"). These tests dramatically increase the security of each individual: This way, scammers are prevented from storing other people's photos on the camera and stealing their identities.
The solution from jenID www.jenidsolutions.com can be applied for all industries in which identity checks are common, for example insurance companies, car rental agencies, and all sectors requiring proof-of-age verification.
