Additional information about recently introduced features, hints, tips, limitations, and corrections is included in this paper, which is meant to support the online help and publications. Please refer to the authID.ai Information Center for comprehensive product documentation and other considerations while using authID.ai Version 3.8.1

authID.ai would like to announce the release of enhancements to improve the performance and reliability of our Identity Verification product on Thursday, October 19th, 2023.

Updated Components

• Identity Verification API
• Identity Portal

What's Changed

• New Barcode Security Parameter in Proof API - The Proof API now includes Data.Document.Data.BarcodeSecurity key which provides a pass or fail response for government documents that contain a PDF417 barcode such as Driver's Licenses and State IDs from US, Canada and Mexico. A “Fail” indicates that the document has failed authenticity checks and should be considered fraudulent.

This API key is enabled by default for all customers and may require code changes in the customer's integration to utilize the key.

• Face Coordinates are now available via Proof API - To enhance our solution's privacy, we provide the coordinates of the user's face within the selfies captured. These coordinates allow customers to crop the image to just the user's face and eliminate the possibility of displaying the user's background. Coordinates are found under the FacialImageInformation key.

This API key is enabled by default for all customers and may require code changes in the customer's integration to utilize the key.

Example:

"FacialImageInformation", "Value": "{\"Width\":675,\"Height\":1219,\"Landmarks\":{\"Portrait\":{\"Left\":63,\"Top\":217,\"Right\":637,\"Bottom\":1106}}}"

• Google Analytics is now optional - Customers can now disable the usage of Google Analytics for performance tracking within the product. This capability is enabled for each tenant by default and is only disabled by request to authID support at [email protected].

Resolved Issues

• Wrong error message is displayed to a user when uploading a document
• Wrong error message is displayed to a user when scanning a passport
• Occasionally the proof results page fails to load within the Identity Portal
