Enroll Privacy Key from Proof (Optional)

🚧

Privacy Key as part of IDV

The Proof IDV process relies on traditional biometrics to verify if the identity document owner is actively participating in the process.

The option to generate a user's Privacy Key must be enabled in the configuration. Please contact authID support to request this configuration change

After inspecting all IDV signals as described in the Process Proof Results section, the Privacy Key generated during the Proof process can be saved as a "root" credential for subsequent authentication transactions.

Two API calls are required to enroll a Privacy Key as an available Account Credential:

• Get TempId of storage location for Proof results using Get Proof Transaction TempId endpoint.
• Pass TempId to Create Proofed Account Credential endpoint. The Privacy Key contained in TempId is used.

🚧

Proof Results Expire

Proof results contained in TempId expire within 72 hours. Trying to enroll Account Privacy Key using TempId that has data removed results in error.

authID offers a service for longer term storage of Proof Results data, please contact [email protected] for details.

Now that the user has an Account and a Credential the integration can request Privacy Key based Authentication Transaction via API.
