Face verification for eIDAS digital solutions

eIDAS & Face Verification for Cross-Border Digital Identity

Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS) provides a framework for secure digital identification (eID) and verification across the EU. This means a citizen from country A can use their eID in country B, driving opportunities for digital transformation with cross-border e-transactions.

To verify eIDs remotely, you’ll need verification technology. iProov’s face biometric solution delivers national-grade security with effortless user experience, and is audited at eIDAS Level of Assurance High.

eIDAS: what are the opportunities?

  • Public sector, government bodies: eIDAS simplifies cross-border interoperability, speeds up internal processes, automates workflows, and streamlines digital services for citizens.
  • Private sector: eIDAS enables access to new customers and markets within the EU by facilitating secure cross-border transactions. It can also allow you to seal deals faster across Europe.
  • Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs): eIDAS standardizes the requirements you use to deliver certificates, e-signatures, and authentication services.

Why is face verification necessary for eID solutions?

Without verification, you cannot be sure that someone using an eID or signing a qualified electronic signature remotely is truly who they claim to be. iProov’s Genuine Presence Assurance® technology confirms that a user is the right person, a real person, and authenticating right now.

  • By combining an eID with a verified biometric using iProov, you create a truly trustworthy digital identity.
  • A qualified e-signature combined with Genuine Presence Assurance is validated and recognized as the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature.
