Stronger verification, safer services

Q: What is synthetic identity fraud?

Synthetic identity fraud happens when someone combines real and made-up information to create a fake identity. Digital credentials help prevent this by tying verified information to a single, legitimate holder.

Q: What are liveness checks?

Liveness checks confirm that a real person is present during a transaction. They help prevent fraud using photos, videos, or masks.

Q: How does facial matching work?

Facial matching compares a selfie to a trusted photo already on file to confirm identity. Different from facial recognition, facial matching is a one-to-one check for a specific transaction and does not involve tracking people or surveillance.

Q: What happens to biometric data after verification?

Captured biometric data is used only for the verification step and then discarded. Only the original reference image is retained when required.

Q: How does modern verification architecture reduce breach risk?

Verification systems are designed to validate claims in real time rather than stockpiling sensitive information. Data is shared only when necessary, retained for the shortest possible time, and protected by consistent access controls and auditing.

Q: What is device binding?

Device binding locks a credential to a specific device using cryptography. The credential can’t be copied, transferred, or reused on another device.

Use verifiable digital credentials and cryptographic checks to speed reviews and ensure the right people access services.

Trusted identity, trusted outcomes

Support safer digital transactions with standards-based tools that make it harder for bad actors to impersonate residents or misuse services.

Adaptive verification paths

Rules-based workflows can accept trusted credentials upfront and route only higher-risk cases into more expensive checks.

Verify with confidence, reduce costs

Use digital ID signals to create rules-based paths that let low-risk users verify quickly while routing only high-risk cases to step-up authentication.

This targeted approach improves confidence in approvals, cuts IDV spend, and ensures stronger protections without adding friction for legitimate users.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do verifiable digital credentials help prevent fraud?

Digital credentials use strong security techniques that make them very difficult to copy or fake. This provides far more protection than paper documents or manual checks.
