Traditional in-person IAL3 verification sessions can be costly and time consuming for remote workers. Trust Swiftly's hardware-based solution enables customers to meet IAL3 requirements remotely while saving money and meeting auditor standards.

Contrary to IAL1, IAL3 requires that an official representative from CSP attend identity proofing processes, to minimize more sophisticated attacks such as falsifying evidence or theft.

IAL3 identity proofing

High-assurance identity verification is an absolute necessity in regulated industries, as individuals interacting with businesses need to be verified in order to protect against modern cyberthreats such as phishing attacks or man-in-the-middle threats; for this reason they should be identified using processes which meet IAL3 identity proofing standards.

IAL3 identity verification requires on-site attended processes with strong biometric comparisons that require physical presence either directly or remotely supervised by an agent. Furthermore, this level of verification requires evidence such as government-issued documents with multiple authoritative sources as evidence for verification purposes.

CSPs that must implement IAL3 verification solutions may find meeting auditor requirements expensive and time consuming, but TrustSwiftly's remote identity verification service offers savings both financially and time wise, meeting auditor standards without breaking the bank or being difficult to use with our hardware-based IAL3 solution easily deployed via app or no-code page.

NIST 800-63A IAL3

NIST 800-63A IAL3 identity proofing is the highest level, validating claimed identities and verifying they are who they claim they are. It requires an on-site attended session where applicants are interviewed in person by a trained CSP representative, at least one biometric characteristic collected, phishing resistant multifactor authentication supported by hardware-backed authenticators such as FIDO2 security keys are necessary and so forth.

Leading IAL3 compliant solution use document analysis, multispectral UV light imaging and facial recognition with liveness detection to verify claimed identities in real world settings. They offer seamless user experiences while offering robust protections from sophisticated attacks. In order to use such solutions reliably they require their relying party to implement an AAL (Authentication Assurance Level) that corresponds with strength of evidence provided.

Trust Swiftly recently unveiled an innovative secure remote IAL3 standards for remote workers verification platform offering adaptable identity proofing methods and employing both remote and in-person elements for identity verification. For the first time ever, there is also a public bounty challenge inviting ethical hackers and security researchers to try breaching Trust Swiftly's defenses.

IAL3 compliant solution

Verifying identity at an IAL3 level requires using multiple authentication techniques that are resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks, including facial recognition with liveness detection, document validation, and direct oversight. These help prevent large-scale identity theft by verifying an individual's claimed attributes.

Technology has provided CSPs with an effective solution to these difficulties in verification for remote workers: Trust Swiftly is an IAL3 compliant solution which meets all the requirements for this level of verification, such as anti-spoofing protections and audit trails.

This solution can help verify individuals in regulated industries requiring high levels of assurance. Using a combination of technologies, this solution verifies identities from either a kiosk or remotely using facial recognition and watchlist screening to ensure no individual on any list for terrorism, money laundering or fraud is detected. Furthermore, authentication takes place on secure devices and the process is verified by someone monitoring the session and reviewing documents provided as evidence documents.

IAL3 remote verification

At IAL3, verification levels require more stringent identity proofing processes and more specific and detailed requirements for verifying steps, in order to safeguard against more advanced attacks like evidence falsification, theft or repudiation. While IAL2 verification can be completed remotely, for IAL3 it must take place onsite with CSP representative participation as well as biometric comparison comparison.

TrustSwiftly makes meeting IAL3 standards simple with an intelligent and adaptive platform, offering various security levels based on transaction sensitivity. This ensures resources are deployed appropriately while meeting auditor expectations.

Recently, IAL3 verification required an in-person attendance session with a proofing agent, creating significant barriers to government adoption. Thanks to technological advances, CSPs are now able to conduct high-assurance identification via kiosks or remote devices - significantly reducing citizen inconvenience while simultaneously decreasing costs and security risks. Moreover, these devices support various verification methods including document validation and facial recognition with liveness detection features - aiding fraud and identity spoofing prevention efforts.
