Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in
mobile capture and identity verification software solutions, today
announced the addition of near-field communication (NFC) capability
to its Mobile Verify® solution. By adding NFC, Mobile Verify can
now read the biometric data embedded on RFID chips, delivering
definitive authentication assurance simply by touching the document
to the smartphone.
Almost 1 billion ePassports with embedded RFID chips have been
issued to date and 3.6 billion people are expected to use RFID
chip-enabled ID cards by 2021.These documents are becoming the
standard for identity verification and the preferred
government-issued root credential.
“Global business in the banking, payments, sharing, education
and lending industries need modern methods for ensuring the
identities of their users and verifying electronic ID documents,”
said James DeBello, Chairman and CEO, Mitek. “Mobile Verify with
NFC creates a faster, easier and extremely secure digital identity
verification process for billions of people around the world.”
Combining NFC capability with Mobile Verify’s Facial Comparison
feature further enhances Mitek’s leading identity solution by
adding another authentication factor without adding friction for
users. By comparing the user’s high-resolution photograph on the
identity document’s chip, to the photo printed on the document and
to a selfie taken by the user, organizations have definitive
assurance of the user’s identity in the digital channel. In
addition, Mitek’s Mobile Verify with NFC also checks for any
alterations of the RFID chip’s data to ensure no tampering or
forgery has taken place.
