Fundamentals
Overview
Autentikar SDK provides the tools required to add biometric authentication and identity verification to a mobile application. Its modules cover facial capture, document scanning, and real-time validation for onboarding, fraud prevention, and secure user verification.
The architecture is modular: Core is mandatory, while UnifiedID and PhotoIDScan are added according to the steps configured in your flow. See the architecture overview for the responsibility of each module.
Key Concepts
Security
Security is a top priority for Autentikar SDKs. The SDKs implement industry-standard encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect sensitive user data and ensure secure communication between the client and server.
Efficiency
Autentikar SDKs are optimized for performance, allowing for quick and seamless integration into applications. The SDKs are designed to minimize resource usage and maximize responsiveness, providing a smooth user experience.
Ease of Integration
Autentikar SDKs are built with developer experience in mind. Comprehensive documentation, sample code, and easy-to-use APIs make it simple for developers to integrate the SDKs into their applications, regardless of the platform or framework being used.
