Introduction

BiometrID is an Application Programmer Interface that connects a mix of proprietary and, third party biometric authentication engines with mobile devices, and web browser applications. The API is a fully customizable service that allows the creation of different biometric registries to a single user. The registries allow for identification, recognition, and ID card validation.

Security

BiometrID works behind a secure authentication layer. Each request requires the presence of a private authentication key that is unique for each client. The service will reject any request that has wrong or missing headers.

Identity Link

Due to the extremely sensitive nature of our data and security concerns Biometrid only stores (and make it available to the client) two fields:

Biometric_ID is automatically generated by us upon registration. Subject_ID is a reference to the user in the client’s platform.

The client’s platform can access our API with the Biometric_ID or Subject_ID identification as a starting point for the authentication process.

Provider's Biometric Engines

The biometric engines act as the primary system to enroll and verify a customer's identity through facial recognition and voice. The engine enables us to perform functions such as matching, enrolling, deduplication, and quality assurance checks. The engine also provides security mechanisms when storing the data into the biometric database as part of the enrolment process such as templates.
