Today we see the continued growth in services that require API for identity verification. It is possible to provide remote services due to technological advancements. Providers may need remote client identity to on-board, process travel documents and implement customer profile.
While remote identification increases the client’s service level and eliminates the necessity to visit service provider offices, fraudsters can use other peoples’ documents to gain services. The rapid growth of deep fake technologies opens up new opportunities for fraudsters in identity spoofing. This forces providers of remote document verification systems, as well as those who produce them to be more competitive and have better anti-forgery features. The sophistication of document verification technologies for user identification is increasing both face-to–face and remotely.
How to spot fake passports and ID documents remotely
The identity of the owner or the person in it is clearly visible. If the passport holder is present and the entire blank passport page is visible in the same photo, this is the most primitive method of verification. While this is an effective method, cyber criminals may be able to use it for their own purposes. The highest-end technology compares the taken photos of the passport holder with the image on the passport page to determine the identity of the face.
The ClearDil technology to recognize in the video stream lets you check which areas of your passport should be changed when the document position relative the line of sight or the illumination angle changes (Optical variable devices, OVD, and holograms). Multiple images are examined to recognize the video stream. This allows you to observe how dynamic changes in visual elements occur. It is clear that the document is fake when there are no optical variable devices or equivalents in flat form.
