IS THAT REALLY YOU?

Verification is just that. Our platform realizes if an individual is or is not who they say they are. To best visualize the process, verification is the biometric answer to, “System: this is who I am. Can you please verify that?”

When an image is introduced to the system in verification mode, an individual enrolled in the organization’s database may ask the system to confirm whether or not he or she is in fact that particular individual in order to, for instance, gain access to an entrance, a post office or bank safe deposit box, a secure area, an online exam website, or any number of other permissions. Very often verification is used as a secondary security feature in tandem with some other access mechanism such as a keycard, a fingerprint, a biometric scan, or any number of other access devices or mechanisms.

Say an employee wants access to a facility or a gym member wants to enter a fitness center. That individual may swipe their card and as an authenticity safeguard will be asked to look into a camera. The swipe of the card notifies the system that person X wants access. The system than searches through its database for person X’s preexisting faceprint and matches it to the fresh image. If they match then access is granted, if not, it is denied.

Besides office buildings and other facilities that require basic security, verification is particularly valuable to organizations with high employee turnover rates, sensitive security issues, and those that incur losses from lost or stolen access items such as keycards, or from forbidden manipulation of those same types of access mechanisms. When the wrong person is in possession of an access device or has found a way to trick an outdated access system, it can at best become a costly situation and at worst, a serious threat. In scenarios where security is of major importance such as in a correctional facility, verification is a surefire way to permanently close the breach. Research has proven that even fingerprints are not 100% distinctive as previously thought.
