NFC-Based Identity Verification: The Way Forward in the Era of AI Deepfake Videos
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, AI deepfake videos are becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. These videos, which can convincingly replicate a person's appearance and voice, pose significant challenges to traditional methods of identity verification, particularly those relying on visual and audio cues. This technological advancement has introduced legal uncertainties and raised concerns about the reliability of video-based identification processes. In this context, NFC-based identity card verification emerges as a robust and secure alternative, offering a reliable solution to these challenges. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology provides a secure and efficient method for identity verification by utilizing the embedded chips within identity cards. Unlike video identification, which can be manipulated by deepfake technology, NFC-based verification ensures the authenticity of the individual’s identity through direct interaction with the card's chip. This process involves reading the chip’s data using an NFC-enabled device. One of the significant advantages of NFC-based identity verification is the additional layer of security it provides. Beyond simply validating the chip's content, the technology leverages advanced and qualified electronic signatures that are calculated by the identity card itself. These signatures are highly secure and resistant to tampering, ensuring that the identity card's data is authentic and has not been altered. This dual-layer verification process—validating the chip’s content and confirming the electronic signature—makes NFC-based identity verification exceptionally robust against fraud. In times when legal uncertainties surround video-based identification due to the rise of deepfake technology, NFC-based verification stands out as a reliable and legally sound alternative. It not only mitigates the risks associated with manipulated visual and audio data but also provides a seamless and user-friendly experience. Users can authenticate their identities quickly and securely by simply tapping their NFC-enabled identity cards against a compatible device, ensuring both convenience and security.
CodeB Authenticator: The Key to Remote Verification with Mobile NFC Technology
To carry out remote identity verification, users need the Free CodeB Authenticator App installed on their mobile phones. The CodeB Authenticator leverages the NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities of a user's mobile device to act as a card reader, eliminating the need for a separate external card reader. Traditionally, the requirement for a secure signature creation device, such as a smartcard or ID card, has been a significant barrier due to the need for additional hardware. The CodeB Authenticator addresses this issue by providing a seamless, hardware-free solution that allows users to generate qualified electronic signatures easily and meet legal requirements, ensuring both compliance and convenience.
Configure Authenticator
To facilitate message exchange, the CodeB Authenticator does not rely on standard push messaging. This decision is based on multiple factors. Mobile push messages are often insecure and can become a nuisance when misused for spam. Instead, CodeB employs proprietary secure methods that incorporate multiple layers of encryption. Additionally, CodeB introduces the Binding PIN mechanism, ensuring that only individuals with the designated Binding PIN can send and exchange messages with the mobile device.
Request Remote Verification
Remote verification requests are typically made through a set of web APIs utilized by the verifying party. To facilitate testing of our service, we provide a basic web interface for initiating remote identity card verification, available at: https://www.nfcverify.com/ident. To request verification, you must enter the mobile number of the device running the CodeB Authenticator. Additionally, you must provide the Binding PIN defined in the CodeB Authenticator. It is also essential to tick the "Require NFC Card" checkbox to ensure that only NFC card verification is performed. Without this checkbox ticked, remote verification will be conducted using the data stored in the secure element of the mobile device. Through the "Scope" parameter, you can request additional attributes, such as a biometric photo. For a complete list of available scopes, please contact us.
Verification Result
The outcome of the remote verification will be validated by the CodeB Remote Verification Server, including the validation of the digital signature applied by the Identity Card itself. The demo web interface will simply display the validated results.
Many supported NFC Cards
The CodeB Authenticator is compatible with a wide variety of digital identification forms, including eIDAS Tokens, National Identity Cards, Health Professional Cards (HBA), Health Insurance Cards (eGK), Maltese ID Cards, and D-Trust Signature and Seal Cards. To determine if your card is compatible, simply open the "Card Reader" feature in the Authenticator App, input your CAN number, and place your mobile device on your card. A green progress bar at the top will show the creation of a secure connection to your card. When this connection is established, you'll be able to view certain details, like your name. If your card is not supported, please do not hesitate to contact us to implement it. Additionally, even if you do not own a supported smartcard, the CodeB Authenticator can still be used to apply an advanced signature using key material generated and securely stored in your mobile device's secure element. This flexibility ensures that you can always utilize our authenticator to meet your digital signing needs, enhancing both convenience and security.
