IdentityMind Global clients are now able to add a plugin to their mobile application or web service, allowing the end user to take a picture or upload a document file to be evaluated as part of their onboarding application. Once Mitek has verified the authenticity of a document, IdentityMind evaluates the information in the document and applies it for data validation and reputation analysis. The results then become an integral part of the identity’s eDNA™ (digital identity), which can be leveraged by all clients in the IdentityMind network.
