In order to authenticate the ID document whether original or fake/copy, the security features in the ID document need to be detected and then verified. AI/ML techniques can be used to detect these security features; however, they need a large dataset. Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns, for all practical purposes, it is difficult to obtain a large dataset for ID documents.
The Challenge:
Online identity verification poses a number of challenges including:
- Liveness Detection: checking whether the person is live or someone is showing a video/picture,
- Document Authenticity: checking whether the document is originally based on the security features, and
- Document Ownership: checking whether the document belongs to the person in front of the camera.
