In their own words
Daon IdentityX
Daon IdentityX is an identity management platform for verifying identities and authenticating users across mobile, web, and in-person channels. Organizations can deploy it on premises, on customer-managed cloud infrastructure, or on Daon-managed cloud infrastructure, and select individual services rather than buying the full suite. IdentityX supports document verification, face matching, liveness and age checks, and biometric methods including fingerprint, face, voice, eye, and palm. Its mobile SDKs support biometric quality assessment, speech recognition, liveness detection, and identity document capture. The platform can check government identity documents, NFC-enabled ePassports and IDs, mobile driver’s licenses, and verifiable credentials; optional connectors provide third-party checks. Its FIDO-certified server supports UAF and FIDO2 registration and authentication through compatible web apps and browsers. Integration options include REST web services APIs, iOS and Android SDKs, and browser-based components. Daon says IdentityX has ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications. Pricing is on request.
