Combining NFC
and Biometrics

Remote identity verification should follow two steps: guaranteeing the validity of the identity document and verifying the genuine presence of the document holder. To guarantee document validity nothing beats NFC-based identity verification. In this webinar, we discussed together with iProov how to prove the genuine presence of the holder remotely with biometrics to create usable and secure identity verification.

Featuring Andrew Bud, Matthew Pearch, Ines Duits and host Maarten Wegdam.

How to prove the genuine presence of the holder remotely?

NFC reading allows you to simply verify a passport - to ensure it's not been manipulated or copied. But what about that second step? How to prove the genuine presence of the holder remotely?

For this second step, biometrics are often used. In this webinar, our product owner Ines Duits explains the different forms of biometrics, their strengths and their weaknesses. We zoom into face verification and explain why the combination of getting the data from the chip and face verification works best, for a highly usable and secure approach to identity verification.

Our guest Andrew Bud, CEO of iProov, the leading face biometric verification service provider, outlines the evolving threat landscape and how fraudsters are developing new digital threats to spoof identities.

Host Maarten Wegdam, CEO and co-founder of ReadID discussed together with Matthew Pearch, Commercial Director at iProov, market developments and what is happening now in the world of face verification and biometrics.
