ONEPROOF Introduces EDGE: Cutting-Edge Hardware for Enhanced Mobile ID Verification

ONEPROOF Unveils EDGE: Revolutionizing Mobile ID Verification

In the world of digital identity, ONEPROOF has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of EDGE, a groundbreaking hardware solution tailored for mobile driver licenses (mDL) and EU Digital Identity (EUDI) wallet verifications. As the key infrastructure provider for North America’s largest mobile driver license verification network, ONEPROOF’s latest offering aims to empower enterprises with unmatched flexibility and security.

What is EDGE?

EDGE is not just another piece of hardware; it's a versatile computing node designed for integration and scalability. Built on a Linux platform with full root access, it allows businesses to customize their verification workflows and seamlessly integrate with pre-existing systems, kiosks, and access control mechanisms. This ensures that organizations can adapt to the ever-evolving digital identity landscape without the need for continuous hardware upgrades.

Features and Advantages

The EDGE device is versatile, validating credentials through NFC, QR codes, and Bluetooth, simplifying connections with single cable connectivity via USB Type-C. This not only enhances user convenience but also allows for flexible deployments in both low and high-security environments.

CEO Madhu Goundla addressed the growing need for such a platform, highlighting that with traditional IDs, verifying identity can be cumbersome and data integration into workflows is often complex. EDGE is a transformative solution, unlocking further capabilities beyond mere identity verification and significantly improving customer service.

Customization and Integration

ONEPROOF’s EDGE platform is designed specifically for system integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It supports various programming languages, including Python, C, Java, and .NET, enabling partners to run tailored software directly on the device. This feature supports a diverse range of applications, providing enterprises the tools to create customized solutions that meet their needs.

Since its inception, ONEPROOF has successfully enabled over 15,000 devices across more than 7,500 locations in North America, processing verifications for businesses such as bars, restaurants, retail stores, and casinos. This infrastructure strategy is extended to larger enterprises needing direct system integration and bespoke workflows.

Availability and Pricing

EDGE is available immediately, featuring two configurations: an embeddable module priced at $299 per unit and a standalone device at $349 per unit, each accompanied by a $50 annual support fee. For system integrators and OEM partners, comprehensive developer kits are provided, along with documentation and integration support, making the deployment process smooth and efficient.

ONEPROOF’s platform supports deployments ranging from 200 to over 10,000 units, complete with centralized management features and volume discounts for enterprise and OEM orders.

The Future of Digital Identity

As the digital landscape evolves, so do the complexities surrounding identity verification. ONEPROOF’s EDGE is positioned to lead this change by providing an infrastructure that not only meets current standards—the ISO 18013-5 for in-person mDL—but also anticipates future needs with robust features such as secure boot, encrypted storage, and detailed audit logging.

Through this innovative approach, ONEPROOF is paving the way for a more secure, efficient, and user-friendly verification process in various enterprises worldwide. With operations extending to customers across the U.S., Australia, and other global markets, the impact of ONEPROOF’s EDGE on the mDL ecosystem is poised to be profound.

Conclusion

ONEPROOF’s latest hardware development signifies a remarkable advance in mobile identity verification technology. By combining flexibility, security, and customization, EDGE offers an unparalleled solution for organizations looking to enhance their digital identity verification processes. In a world where identity verification is increasingly crucial, EDGE stands at the forefront, ready to transform how enterprises interact with identity data.
