1Kosmos Credential Service Provider (CSP) is a managed identity verification and authentication service that performs identity verification during enrollment and authenticates users at each access attempt. The platform enables government agencies to provide residents with an automated digital identity verification process and issues multi-factor authentication credentials. The service includes document scanning and verification for driver's licenses, IDs, and passports, along with biometric capture that includes liveness detection to protect against presentation and injection attacks. The CSP creates a privacy-preserving process where users establish a secure identity independent of service providers and control what personally identifiable information they share with third parties. Data is stored in a private and permissioned distributed ledger to prevent compromise from data breaches. The platform captures a selfie with liveness verification and compares it to the image from the document verification process.
