Incode Face Authentication is a type of biometric authentication that verifies a person’s identity using the unique features of their face. It is commonly used to confirm a user’s identity by comparing a person’s face to the biometric data stored in that identity instance. Face Authentication can verify an identity, ensure that users are real, and detect common fraudulent behavior by using checks for liveness, physical and digital attacks, image quality, and face checks such as lenses, hats, closed eyes, or face masks.

Face Authentication provides an added level of security for organizations, applications, or even higher-level sections of application. For example, you could use Face Authentication to grant access to specific functionality within your application. This would ensure the person requesting access has a valid, registered Incode Identity.

The Incode Face Authentication technology allows your web or mobile applications to confirm that a user is who they claim to be.

How it works

Face Authentication captures a selfie image of a user, creates a biometric template from the captured image, and compares it against biometric identities to confirm a match. There are two identification strategies to confirm an identity:

• 1:1 searches for a specific identity
• 1:N searches for an identity among all your Incode identities

After the authentication process is complete, you can review the results and decide what happens next in your application.

Face Authentication Module

Adding the Face Authentication module to your Workflows and Flows enables a fully-automated selfie capture UI in Incode Webflows, Workflows, or the Web and Mobile SDKs. You can configure all aspects of this authentication experience in the Incode Omni Dashboard.

Contact your Incode representative if you don’t have the Face Authentication module.
