Summary

Didit offers a hybrid biometric verification platform that combines the privacy benefits of on-device biometrics with the advanced processing power of server-side biometrics. On-device biometrics enhance user privacy by keeping data local and providing instant authentication, though they may lack advanced fraud detection capabilities and centralized management. Server-side biometrics, in contrast, offer scalability and sophisticated fraud detection through the use of powerful AI algorithms in a secure cloud environment, enabling features like passive and active liveness detection and 1:1 Face Match against government IDs. Didit’s platform integrates the strengths of both approaches, enabling secure data capture on the device and comprehensive analysis on the server, ensuring robust identity verification and fraud prevention. The platform's modular design allows businesses to tailor identity workflows to their specific needs, supported by developer-friendly APIs and a no-code Business Console, with offerings like Free Core KYC and no setup fees to make enterprise-grade verification accessible.
