Kairos Identity Verification automates identity checks by combining an ID scan, selfie comparison, fraud checks, and liveness checking. It detects fake or altered documents and compares a selfie with the photo on an identity document. Kairos says it covers 4,000 passport and ID types from more than 190 countries. A single selfie is used to check that the image was captured live and deter spoofing. Developers can integrate the API using any programming language, while users can also upload selfie images and ID documents through the web interface for manual verification. Kairos says face images are masked as templates, stored data is encrypted with AES-256, and TLS protects data in transit. Its described security controls also include role-based access management, audit trails, monitoring, firewalls, masking, and tokenization. The free plan includes 100 API transactions and a two-week trial. Pro costs $49.00 USD per month and includes 100 API calls; per-call rates decrease at higher listed volumes. An on-premises option is available with pricing on request.
