New DocuSign feature applies AI to live video
selfies to make process more convenient & prevent identity
spoofing and deep-fakes
SAN
FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU) today announced the
launch of its enhanced identity verification offering, Liveness
Detection for ID Verification. Part of DocuSign's Identify
portfolio, this new feature uses artificial intelligence
(AI)-enabled biometric checks to confirm signers are who they say
they are, are physically present at signing and that their IDs are
valid.
DocuSign is delivering the equivalent of
face-to-face security without the inconvenience of showing up in
person.
Identity verification is essential to establishing a trust
relationship. Traditionally, it has been a cumbersome, in-person
process. Using Liveness Detection for ID Verification, businesses
can now easily, securely and remotely prevent the use of fake
documents and the use of deep fakes or pre-recordings, as well as
prevent identity spoofing. The global solution provides a critical
capability for companies adopting identity-proofing as part of
their onboarding workflows that improve trust, compliance and
simplify the user experience. AI-enabled Liveness Detection for ID
Verification delivers on our commitment to provide a secure
intelligent agreement process.
"At DocuSign, we don't believe in the false trade-off between
either efficiency or risk," said Inhi Cho
Suh, DocuSign President of Product & Technology. "We're
infusing our entire product suite with AI to provide global
customers with frictionless experiences that are smarter, easier
and more trusted. Liveness Detection for ID Verification applies
the power of artificial intelligence to live video selfies to
provide the equivalent of face-to-face security without the
inconvenience of showing up in person."
Developed in partnership with Onfido, a global leader in
automated identity verification, the new feature is tightly
integrated with DocuSign's popular eSignature workflow, eliminating
the need for users to use multiple platforms to complete secure
agreements. The feature applies AI to live video selfies – taken by
signers – to confirm that the signer taking the video matches the
photo on their ID and that the face on the provided ID and the face
in the selfie video match. Liveness Detection for ID Verification
also confirms that there has been no spoofing detected, that the
user was not using a fake webcam or an emulator, and that the
signer is physically present at the time the video selfie was
taken.
"With instances of identity fraud on the rise, it's
never been more essential for businesses to ensure that their
online customers are who they say they are," said Mike Tuchen, Chief Executive Officer of Onfido.
"We're excited to partner with DocuSign, which aligns with our goal
of preventing fraud while simplifying the identity
verification process for organizations across the globe."
This enhancement to DocuSign's ID Verification solution is
another step in the company's use of AI to strengthen its suite of
agreement products. DocuSign recently announced the launch of
Agreement Summarization, enabled by an integration with Azure's
OpenAI Service, which simplifies the document review process by
using AI to automatically surface the most critical components of a
document, enabling signers to get a better grasp on key information
in their agreement before they sign. This allows them to make more
informed decisions faster, saving time in the review process.
Pricing and Availability: Liveness Detection for ID
Verification is available globally and is offered to all existing
ID Verification or ID Verification Premier customers.
