Identity

Even if a photo ID and the individual presenting it seem to match, it’s essential to authenticate the veracity of the document itself. Today’s fake IDs, however, are sophisticated documents with functional bar codes and other fraudulent features able to thwart casual visual scans. This is a problem for the many organizations that rely on licenses, passports and the like to confirm an individual’s identity during a sensitive transaction.

While some organizations have systems in place to authenticate IDs presented in person, they may struggle with how to facilitate mobile transactions with the same level of security. Also, many states have multiple license formats in circulation. Changes to background color, holograms and other features make it difficult to spot a fake, even with an ID scanner.
