Introduction

IMPORTANT NOTE

Major versions introduce significant changes and new capabilities compared to previous major releases. However, upgrading to a new major version breaks backward compatibility. To ensure a smooth transition, follow the dedicated migration guide and thoroughly test in development environments to validate integration and functionality.

Key Features and Improvements of WC SDKs

The Selfie SDK is a JavaScript library designed to detect and capture a person’s face using advanced biometric technology. It enables the face verification step within Veridas’ identity verification workflows.

The SDK supports two detection modes, each offering progressively stronger security guarantees: Selfie and Selfie Alive Pro.

Flows

  • Selfie: This is the simplest flow. It consists of automatically capturing a facial image when the user's face is correctly positioned within the on-screen guiding oval. No additional interaction is required from the user.
  • Selfie Alive Pro (Head Movement Challenge): This is the most advanced flow, offering the highest level of security. It follows a challenge-response approach and incorporates enhanced liveness detection. The flow involves recording a video of the user performing specific head movements in response to on-screen animations. The user must accurately follow the guided motion to complete the verification process.
