The Incode Face Authentication functionality can identify previously-registered users with facial recognition. This allows you to grant access to certain parts of your application or authorize high-value operations with very low friction.

Core Concepts

Facial Biometric Template

The facial biometric template is a mathematical representation of the characteristics and features extracted from a face image ("selfie").

Incode Identity

An Identity is a unique ID linked to the facial biometric template extracted from the selfie taken during the Onboarding process. An Identity is created from an onboarding process where all verification modules are passed. If a module in the onboarding process fails, an Identity is not created.

One-to-One (1:1) Facial Authentication

1:1 facial authentication is when a person tries to identify themself by providing a selfie and a second authentication factor (customerId). The biometric template from the selfie is compared against the biometric template from the existing identity associated with the customerId. The result of the comparison is returned as a boolean value. This is called a face match.

Additionally, a confidence numeric value is returned, representing the match level between the person to be identified and the identity at Incode.
