Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
Remote identity proofing usually relies on asking the subject
multiple-choice knowledge questions (e.g. which of the following zip
codes did you live in five years ago?), but this method is
privacy-invasive and has become ineffective due to the proliferation
of personal data available online.
We have identified five remote identity proofing solutions that can be
used as alternatives to knowledge-based verification. Solution 1 uses
a rich credential issued by a DMV and containing a facial image for
three factor verification with spoofing detection. Solution 2 uses an
adaptation of a rich credential for use in conjunction with a
blockchain. In Solution 3, the subject demonstrates possession of a
contactless EMV credit card to a remote verifier via a native app that
interacts with the card over a Near Field Communication (NFC)
connection and with the verifier over a secure Internet connection,
and relays Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs) between the card
and the verifier. In Solution 4, the subject demonstrates possession
of a contactless medical identification smart card containing a
certificate and a facial image, via a native app that relays APDUs and
submits an audio-visual stream that the verifier uses for face
recognition with spoofing detection. Finally, Solution 5 relies on
face recognition with spoofing detection using the signed facial image
and biographic data contained in the RFID chip embedded in a passport.
