Digital Identity Verification

Back to Glossary

It is the process of electronically confirming a person's identity using digital documents and credentials. This verification process ensures you are interacting with the legitimate person they claim to be, fostering trust and security within the online environment.

 

As our reliance on online services grows, robust digital identity verification becomes increasingly crucial. 

How Does Digital Identity Verification Work?

  • Document or Credential Presentation: The user presents a digital document (e.g., passport scan, driver's license) or a credential issued by a trusted source.

  • Verification and Authentication: The presented document or credential is electronically verified for authenticity using various techniques like data checks, document scans, or biometric comparisons (e.g., facial recognition).
