Offline-first identity verification

Identity intelligence
built around trust.

Every check that can run on a device runs fully offline — and every result is signed. Proof that lives on the device, not in a promise.

Why it’s different

A decision you can prove.

01

Offline by default

Capture, read, and verify in airplane mode. Connectivity-dependent checks degrade gracefully and sync when a connection returns.

02

Signed, end to end

Each verification emits a tamper-evident record, cryptographically bound to the device that produced it. Anyone can check it — even offline.

03

Private by construction

Captured data never leaves the device. No third-party server sees the document, the face, or the chip.

What it does

From document capture to a decision you can prove.

A complete on-device pipeline. Each stage adds evidence; nothing leaves the device to earn it.

Document capture

A native camera pipeline with automatic document detection, edge finding and perspective correction, and real-time rejection of glare, blur and occlusion.

  • Edge detection
  • Quality scoring
  • Multi-side

Data extraction

MRZ OCR across TD1, TD2, TD3 and MRV formats with full check-digit validation, visual-zone OCR, and PDF417 / AAMVA barcode parsing.

  • MRZ
  • VIZ OCR
  • PDF417
  • QR · Aztec

Document recognition

An on-device model recognises the document type, so every check runs against the right template. Passports and ID cards today, with more document types rolling out.

  • Document type
  • Template-aware
  • On-device

NFC chip verificationThe wedge

Reading the secure chip over NFC under ICAO 9303 — BAC / PACE secure channel, data groups, and three authenticity proofs combined into one clone-detection verdict.

  • ICAO 9303
  • Passive Auth
  • Chip Auth

Document forensics

Per-template security-feature checks, hologram verification through device motion, screen-recapture and print detection, and photo-substitution detection.

  • OVD / hologram
  • Recapture
  • Photo swap

Face & liveness

On-device face matching between the live subject, the printed portrait and the chip image, with passive liveness — no frames sent off the device.

  • 1:1 match
  • Passive liveness

Adaptive decisioning

Expiry and date validity, MRZ structural integrity, barcode authenticity and cross-source agreement each contribute a reason-coded signal — resolved into a single, explainable verdict, with every reason recorded.

  • MRZ structure
  • Barcode authenticity

The story, every time

Captured. Read. Proven genuine. Signed. Trusted.

The same beat runs through every verification — and you can replay the evidence at each step.

    Captured

    The document is framed, corrected and quality-scored on device. Nothing blurry, glared or recaptured gets through.

    MRZ, printed zone, barcode and chip are decoded and cross-validated against one another, field by field.

    Authenticating chip

    Proven genuine

    The chip’s signature is checked against trusted national certificates — proof the document is genuine, not just well-photographed.

    The result is sealed into a tamper-evident record, cryptographically bound to this device and this moment.

    Anyone can verify the seal independently — online or off. The decision travels with its proof.

The wedge

We read the chip,
not just the photo.

Inside every ePassport and eID is a secure chip. We open a secure channel to it over NFC, read its data groups, and check three independent proofs of authenticity — combined into a single clone-detection verdict.

  • Passive Authentication

    The chip’s signed data is verified offline against trusted national signing certificates.

  • Active Authentication

    A challenge-response proves the chip holds a private key it cannot reveal.

  • Chip Authentication

    A fresh secure channel confirms the chip is the original silicon, not a clone.

Privacy by construction

Data never leaves the device.

Put the phone in airplane mode and run a full verification end to end. The document image, the face, and the chip contents are read, matched and sealed locally. No third-party server ever holds your customer’s identity.

  • Capture, OCR, NFC and matching run entirely on device
  • No document, portrait or chip data is uploaded to verify
  • Only the signed verdict — never the raw identity — needs to travel
  • Connectivity-dependent checks sync later, and degrade gracefully offline
Cross-validation

Four sources, one agreement.

The printed text, the machine-readable zone, the chip and the barcode are compared against each other. Where they agree, confidence rises; where they don’t, the discrepancy is recorded.

The signed record

Every result is signed.

A verification ends in a tamper-evident evidence record — the inputs, the checks, the confidence, and the verdict — sealed with a signature bound to the device that produced it. Anyone can verify the seal, even offline.
