4 terms

nist ial2-certified workflow regulatory

"supporting a dynamic end-to-end NIST IAL2-certified workflow."

A NIST IAL2-certified workflow is a verified process for proving and checking a person’s identity that meets U.S. government standards for moderate assurance. Think of it like the digital equivalent of showing a passport and having a clerk confirm your details: it requires reliable ID documents and verification steps to reduce impersonation. For investors, such certification signals lower fraud risk, stronger regulatory compliance, faster trust-building with customers, and potential reductions in onboarding and liability costs.

biometrics technical

"IDVerse®, an AI‑powered identity verification solution that authenticates documents and biometrics to help detect"

Biometrics are measurable physical or behavioral traits—like fingerprints, facial features, voice patterns, heart rate or gait—that uniquely identify or monitor a person, similar to how a key or signature proves identity. Investors care because biometric technology drives products and services in security, payments and health monitoring, affecting revenue opportunities, adoption trends and regulatory or privacy risks that can influence a company’s value and future growth.

deepfakes technical

"biometrics to help detect deepfakes, forgeries and other fraud, supporting a dynamic"

Deepfakes are audio, video or image content created or altered by artificial intelligence to make people appear to say, do, or be somewhere they did not. They matter to investors because a convincing fake can trigger sudden market moves, enable fraud, manipulate sentiment, or harm a company’s reputation—similar to a counterfeit document or forged signature sparking real financial consequences and regulatory scrutiny.

one time password technical

"LexisNexis® One Time Password: an authentication solution that sends a unique, time‑sensitive passcode"

A one time password is a short, single-use code sent to a user by SMS, email or an authenticator app to verify identity and complete a login or transaction; it expires quickly and cannot be reused. It matters to investors because OTPs act like single-use keys that help prevent unauthorized trades, fraud and account breaches—failures in OTP systems can lead to financial loss, regulatory penalties and damage to a company’s reputation.
