Create a reliable and spoofing-free (digital) identifier for your customers, visitors or employees
The use of (digital) identifiers, such as badges, tickets, photo IDs or other identification documents that include a photo of the document holder, is becoming increasingly common worldwide.
Businesses create these (digital) identifiers for their customers, visitors and employees to provide them access to certain (government) services, accounts, events or high-risk locations. However, photos and images on such (digital) documents can be easily tampered with. As a result, identity fraud simply based on the replacement of the ID picture on the document is on the rise and has caused severe damage to both businesses and individuals.
How do you protect yourself and/or your business against this emerging type of identity fraud?
With Photometrix™ you can create a reliable and spoofing-free (digital) identifier for your customers, visitors or employees. When someone uses the identifier to get access to, for example, your services or premises you can easily verify the person in real-time even without any network connection. You instantly determine whether he is who he claims to be and is entitled to the service.
Here’s how it works
hotometrix™ uses a specially designed mechanism to convert the photo on a valid ID document into a secure template. Together with someone’s personal data (name, date of birth), this template is then stored into the Photometrix™ 2D barcode.
The data in the barcode is encrypted and secured using an Asymmetric Cryptographic Signature Algorithm. Once encrypted, the 2D-barcode is ready to be issued. You can now opt to issue your customer a physical or digital identifier (or both) including the 2D-barcode and a photo of the person. The 2D-barcode can be used in any personalization process within your business, e.g., badges and ticket issuance.
Biometric verification for higher security
Photometrix gives you the option of an extended verification by adding biometric information of the card holder to the 2D-barcode. This consists of a fingerprint scan and/or facial recognition. The additional option links an authenticated photo to the physical (present) card holder.
The biometric information is taken at the moment of enrolment when the 2D-barcode is being created. An additional step is required, using a fingerprint scanner to add the fingerprint to the 2D-barcode.
Checking the identifier
Technical information
The Photometrix™ code can be issued in various formats (PDF / JPEG etc) and can be displayed on both digital devices and printed surfaces. Photometrix is compatible with any enrolment system.
The authentication of the identifier / Photometrix code can be done using a dedicated application on a standard smartphone or pc. Photometrix is available as a stand-alone application or as an SDK module which can be integrated into your existing processes.
