Kairos Identity Verification

What Kairos Identity Verification is

Kairos Identity Verification combines document scanning, selfie comparison, fraud checks, and liveness checking in an automated identity-verification operation. It checks documents for signs of fakery or alteration and compares a selfie with the photo on an identity document. Kairos says it covers 4,000 passport and ID types from more than 190 countries. A single selfie is used to check that the image was captured live and deter spoofing. Developers can integrate its API using any programming language, while users can also submit selfie images and ID documents through the web interface for manual verification. Kairos says face images are masked as templates, stored data is encrypted with AES-256, and TLS protects data in transit. Its described controls also include role-based access, audit trails, monitoring, firewalls, masking, and tokenization. The free plan includes 100 API transactions and a two-week trial. Pro costs $49 a month and includes 100 API calls; Kairos lists lower per-call rates at higher volumes. An on-premise option has pricing on request.
