Introduction

PrivateID delivers NIST 800-63 IAL2-compliant identity verification and extends to AAL2, enabling trusted re-authentication through FIDO2/WebAuthn. Unlike traditional cloud-based architectures, PrivateID is edge-first: all enrollment and verification are processed locally, with on-going authentication powered by edge AI and patented homomorphic tokenization. This architecture preserves user privacy, eliminates data breach risks, and removes obligations under global privacy laws.

1. On-Device Enrollment Processing

PrivateID performs selfie-to-photo ID matching, liveness detection (PAD), facial age estimation, and OCR-based front-to-back ID data extraction entirely on-device. No images or PII ever leave the device. This enables inexpensive, privacy-preserving pre-screening identity checks before more costly server-side processing is required.

2. Privacy & Compliance for Biometric Processing

PrivateID’s patented homomorphic tokenization makes biometrics irreversible and anonymized. Certified to IEEE 2410 and aligned with ISO/IEC 24745 standards, the solution ensures irreversibility and unlinkability. Sensitive biometric data can never be exposed in a data breach, while also eliminating obligations under GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and BIPA.

3. 1:1 & 1:N Matching
• 1:1: On-device selfie-to-ID match with PAD and age assurance.
• 1:N: Only anonymized tokens are transmitted, enabling instant biometric deduplication and fraud prevention at scale with ~25ms constant-time performance.

4. Biometric Deduplication Fraud Prevention

PrivateID blocks fraud by preventing duplicate enrollments through biometric deduplication. Privacy is preserved since no images or biometric templates are stored or transmitted—only irreversible, fully anonymized tokens.

5. Document & Data Validation

PrivateID uses authoritative third-party sources (DMVs, credit bureaus, OFAC, death registries) for document and data validation and provides forensic document verification.
Advantage: Selfie-to-photo ID matching, OCR, and consistency checks are performed on-device before transmission, reducing both privacy risk and processing costs.

6. Authentication Assurance

PrivateID delivers both IAL2 and AAL2 compliance, supporting strong enrollment plus trusted re-authentication using biometrics, Passkeys, and adaptive risk-based signals.

7. Interoperability

PrivateID is designed for interoperability across IAM, MFA, Passkeys, and standards (IEEE 2410, FIDO2, ISO/IEC 24745). It integrates easily into enterprise ecosystems with modular SDKs/APIs and runs on any general-purpose hardware including desktop, mobile, POS terminals, and more.

8. Branding & White Labeling

PrivateID is fully white-labeled for customer branding, ensuring trust, consistent user experiences, and enterprise ownership of the user journey.

9. User Experience (UX)

All processing occurs at the edge, providing real-time, intuitive feedback during capture (e.g., angle, lighting, glare correction). This ensures most users complete enrollment on the first try, dramatically improving completion rates.

10. Performance

PrivateID delivers ultra-fast processing: ~100ms selfie match and ~100ms deduplication. Performance is consistent across bandwidth conditions since processing is local, not cloud-dependent.

11. Deployment & Extensibility

PrivateID offers a lightweight SDK/API for iOS, Android, web, desktop, POS, and kiosks. It supports multimodal biometrics (face, voice, palm, fingerprint) and can be deployed as SaaS, PaaS, or on-premise.

Summary

PrivateID offers a privacy-first, fully white-labeled identity verification and authentication platform that meets both NIST 800-63 IAL2 and AAL2 requirements. With on-device selfie-to-ID matching, PAD, age estimation, OCR, real-time UX feedback, and privacy-preserving deduplication, PrivateID ensures seamless verification, fraud prevention, and compliance at scale.
