IDEMIA and CertiPath Join Forces to Enhance Digital Identity Verification

In a groundbreaking collaboration, IDEMIA Public Security North America has partnered with CertiPath to improve digital identity verification and credential assurance. This partnership emerges as identity fraud and cyber threats escalate, necessitating more robust security measures for sensitive environments. IDEMIA is a prominent player in identity security and authentication services, while CertiPath excels in high-assurance identity management for regulated environments.

CertiPath's TrustVisitor solution, designed for federal agencies, will now integrate IDEMIA's advanced identity verification technology. This system ensures compliance with the Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) standards, enhancing security measures for physical access points. With TrustVisitor, government agencies can efficiently manage visitors while ensuring high-security protocols are followed.

The significance of this partnership lies in the collective commitment to pre-screening visitors for potential risks. Implementing a seamless identity verification process is vital to maintaining the integrity of sensitive locations, where the implications of unauthorized access could be severe.

IDEMIA's Identity and Verification (IDV) solution forms the backbone of this new integration. It offers a comprehensive platform for identity proofing and credential verification, enabling CertiPath to ascertain the authenticity of individuals seeking access. With this technology, TrustVisitor users can authenticate identities essential for accessing high-security venues, including government buildings, military locations, and critical infrastructures.

Jeff Nigriny, Founder and CEO of CertiPath, emphasized the importance of enhancing the user experience without compromising security. He noted, "Current ID document capture methods can create unnecessary friction, complicating what should be an easy process. By integrating IDEMIA's identity proofing and mobile driver's license (mDL) verification capabilities, we enhance our identity confidence ahead of visitors' arrival, thereby improving user experience."

In addition to traditional forms of ID, IDEMIA's cutting-edge technology can accommodate mobile driver's licenses, which add an extra layer of assurance compared to physical versions. Their IDV technology includes advanced features such as digital tampering detection and liveness detection, complying with the highest security standards and certified by the Kantara Initiative as meeting NIST SP 800-63 rev. 3 level 2 requirements.

The collaboration will also see CertiPath utilize IDEMIA's Mobile ID (miD) Verify SDK, which simplifies the verification process for mobile driver's licenses, ensuring quick and secure authentication. This move is crucial in today's digital age, where the rise in identity fraud poses growing challenges for both public safety and security.

Donnie Scott, CEO of IDEMIA Public Security North America, voiced his support for this collaboration, stating, "As identity fraud continues to escalate, it is crucial to see companies like CertiPath adopting next-generation technologies that authenticate physical and digital IDs for individuals seeking access to sensitive governmental facilities. Effective visitor management is essential to a secure environment, and we are proud to aid CertiPath in fulfilling their mission of providing top-tier identity validation."

This partnership between IDEMIA and CertiPath exemplifies the industry’s shift towards leveraging advanced technology for enhanced security in physical and digital domains. As governments and organizations navigate the complexities of identity verification in an increasingly digital world, solutions like TrustVisitor and IDEMIA's IDV technology will prove invaluable.
