Socure Launches ‘Selfie Reverification’ System for Returning Users

Socure, a provider of digital identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, has brought a new Selfie Reverification feature to its document verification solution. The feature enables the verification of returning users through a selfie, achieving a 99.9 percent true match rate within two seconds.

The Selfie Reverification process involves comparing a new selfie with the user’s previously verified ID headshot photo from the initial onboarding process, and includes features to detect deepfakes and assess age discrepancies to confirm the identity of the account holder. The feature is built on Socure’s Document Verification system, which has demonstrated high success rates in both selfie capture and liveness detection.

With the increasing frequency of identity-related fraud, reliable reverification methods are essential, especially during critical activities such as large financial transactions or account recovery. Socure’s Selfie Reverification addresses these needs by conducting passive liveness checks that comply with Level 2 NIST PAD standards, helping to prevent sophisticated spoofing attempts, including deepfakes.

The deepfake detection capability is based on a dataset of diverse samples, allowing the system to accurately identify and prevent spoofing attacks. The technology analyzes more than 80 facial landmarks to ensure that the identity verification process is accurate and reliable.

The new feature is applicable across various sectors, including financial services, eCommerce, online gaming, and government services, and provides organizations with a tool to enhance security, reduce fraud, and maintain user trust while minimizing operational costs.

The news comes a few weeks after Socure announced it joined the effort to enhance identity verification for the U.S. government’s Login.gov platform in a collaboration with Xcelerate Solutions. In that partnership, Socure will focus on key areas such as document capture, biometric comparison, and identity resolution to support the Login.gov Identity Proofing project.
