📚 Get familiar with some of the terms we use.
Access Token
An access token is a key used to authorise API calls. This token is valid for 1 hour (3600 seconds). You must renew your access token before calling another API after an hour.
Customer
A customer represents the company agent who is authorised to generate the transaction.
DFA
Document Fraud Assessment refers to our proprietary and patented technology that verifies the authenticity of identity documents by conducting advanced security checks. These checks include symbol, alignment, and colour analysis, as well as font, photo, surface, hologram, and UV inspections. The DFA engine uses sophisticated algorithms to evaluate document details and integrity, delivering a definitive PASS or FAIL outcome for reliable document verification.
DVS
The Document Verification Service (DVS) is a national, secure online system that enables authorised entities to electronically verify Evidence of Identity (EOI) documents issued by a range of Australian, State, and Territory government agencies.
User
A person who performs the identity verification.
Flow type
Flow Type refers to the particular sequence and method of identity verification steps within the IDKit platform, tailored for single or multi-document verification to accommodate varying user requirements and scenarios.
Liveness
Liveness refers to analysing a short "selfie" video of the user's face using the mobile front camera. We use the footage to compare the captured face with the image on the ID document (i.e., Face Match) and check that the user is real and present (e.g., not wearing a mask, not a pre-recorded video, etc.).
Token
A token is an IDVerse-generated transaction attribute. It is equivalent to a transaction ID, except the customer cannot customise it. The token is a random string of numeric and alphabetic characters.
Transaction
A transaction is a process of identity verification provided by the customer to the user for completion. During the process, biometric and identity document data is captured. IDVerse then processes this data to produce a verification status for the customer.
Transaction ID
A transaction ID is a unique identifier for each transaction. The customer gets the transaction ID using our API when generating a transaction.
Verification
Verification is the process of data validation between our database and submitted data. It includes a selfie photo, a liveness video, and personal information from government-issued photo IDs.
