Identity verification takes under a minute depending on internet connection speed. Users simply scan their government-issued ID and complete a live facial biometric check via mobile device or web browser.

1Kosmos uses passive liveness detection with micromovements, texture, color, and depth analysis, combined with ML-driven 3D depth analysis to detect and block deepfakes, masks, videos, or injected media attempts.

Prior to identity verification, users see a fully customizable consent screen that can be tailored to your organization's privacy and legal requirements, ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and other regional regulations.

All identity data, including PII and biometrics, is hashed and encrypted with AES-256 before being stored in a private, permissioned ledger within the 1Kosmos encrypted cloud boundary. Only the end user can access this data via their private key.

1Kosmos verifies government-issued IDs (passports, driver's licenses) from 190+ countries, plus multi-source verification through SSN (SSA), telco verification, bank ID, and third-party sources including AAMVA and LexisNexis for comprehensive identity validation.

1Kosmos uses deterministic identity verification, which establishes identity through verifiable credentials like government-issued IDs and live biometric matching to deliver absolute certainty, not probability scores. Unlike probabilistic approaches that analyze digital breadcrumbs and behavioral patterns to output confidence levels (e.g., "85% confident"), our deterministic method provides binary outcomes: the identity either matches or it doesn't. This is critical for regulated industries like financial services and healthcare where compliance frameworks demand concrete evidence, and it prevents sophisticated fraudsters from gaming the system by building legitimate-looking digital footprints over time.

1Kosmos uses deterministic identity verification with authoritative credentials (government IDs + live biometrics) rather than probabilistic risk scores. This provides definitive proof of identity, not confidence percentages, which is critical for regulated industries requiring concrete compliance evidence.
