VISEDGE - Visual Identity aSsurance for EDGE Cases

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

iProov are a pioneer in the field of identity verification, with an approach we refer to as “012”– zero effort, one-step, two-factor authentication. The company has innovated a set ofidentification algorithms combining specialist face detection and mobile device technologies.The VISEDGE project extends these capabilities to ‘edge cases’, extending the iProov serviceto previously unidentifiable prospective users. This is critical for mainstream usage of theservice. The iProov service is provided as a cloud-based identity verification service tosecurity-conscious service providers, such as financial institutions, exam providers,subscription service providers and web services requiring precise identification of users.Password –related login mechanisms have long been problematic in these systems, and abiometric login service has distinct advantages.The VISEDGE project will research and combine candidate algorithms to provide robust andevidence-based coverage of difficult identity capture situations. This satisfies therequirements of advanced prospective licensees, who demand commercial validation ofsolutions. Today, although substantial academic research has been conducted in highlyspecific situations, no commercial data exists for identity capture ‘in the wild’. VISEDGE isa proof of concept project, which will enable the extension of iProov coverage to ‘edge’ cases,and provide an evidence base to satisfy the demands of security-savvy prospective customersin advance of commercial implementation.
