RFID authentication
Overview
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) analysis is a core component of ComplyCube’s Document Check service, ensuring the highest level of identity assurance. It strengthens fraud prevention by validating the embedded RFID chip within modern identity documents.
This feature leverages NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology, allowing your customers to use their smartphones for secure and accurate verification. By scanning ID documents through NFC, RFID analysis enhances both security and precision in the verification process.
Benefits
Comprehensive authentication: Verifies the authenticity of RFID chips embedded in ID documents by matching encrypted signatures against certifying authorities, ensuring the highest level of identity assurance.
Perfect data extraction: Securely extracts structured data directly from the encrypted chip, guaranteeing accuracy and consistency.
Multi-layered verification: Works in tandem with ComplyCube’s other verification methods, including visual checks, document liveness detection, and security element validation. This holistic approach effectively combats fraud.
Data security: Ensures end-to-end encryption of RFID data and adheres to international privacy regulations.
Integrated verification: Fully integrated with ComplyCube’s workflows and portal, providing clear, auditable results to support compliance and onboarding processes.
Scope
RFID scanning and analysis via NFC is supported only for documents that contain RFID chips, such as ePassports and modern national ID cards.
This feature is accessible exclusively through ComplyCube’s Mobile SDKs, which automatically detect whether a document includes an RFID chip. If present, the SDK prompts the user to scan their document, enabling a fast, secure, and user-friendly verification process.
