In person checks of identity documents supported by technology and remote checks of identity documents is a popular way for organisations to validate a users identity before they access a service, site, or cross a border.
Document authentication technology solutions check different features on identity documents including the chip, format, image, and the consistency of information to determine whether the document is genuine. Historically, limited government and industry-defined approaches to validating the performance and security of document authentication technology has led to concerns over variances in the accuracy, reliability and security of these solutions. Our document authentication technology testing can help organisations better understand and build confidence in their document authentication solutions.
There are two main areas of assessing a system: security and performance
Security
Performance
Types of testing
Research and development
Our document fraud experts work to monitor emerging trends in document counterfeiting present across social media sites, the dark web and deep web. We maintain a capability to develop new and novel attacks that target specific system functionalities and rigorously exercise the security of a document authentication system.
