Ipsidy brings facial biometric solutions to web browsers

Ipsidy Inc (OTCQB:IDTY) announced Monday that it has expanded its Proof and Verified Identity-as-a-Services solutions to be accessible through standard web browsers on all types of mobile and desktop devices. 

The company is now able to offer facial biometric identity services without requiring users to download a mobile application. Using a web browser, or through a link sent via text/email to a mobile device, users can click and quickly capture a selfie to confirm their identity during a remote event.

“Ipsidy is committed to ensuring our clients know the identity of their users with biometric certainty,” CEO Phillip Kumnick said in a statement. “The expansion of our facial biometric identity services to seamless web browser applications reflects our vision of delivering frictionless identity experiences that establish the highest level of assurance and mutual trust in today’s digital and remote world.”

Ipsidy’s Proof transfers all the security and trust elements from its mobile application and software development kit into a web browser session with less friction. The company has incorporated the image quality, selfie detection and anti-spoofing capabilities necessary for trusted identity verification. 

Proof validates identity for online financial application and enrollment processes; new customer, employee, and student on-boarding; sale of age-restricted product, building and systems access verification and more.

Verified, Ipsidy’s multi-factor authentication solution, is also now available through a web browser. Users can now utilize a web-link tab and quick selfie capture to combat identity fraud across an array of online transactions, funds transfers, account changes or customer support activity, the company said.
