FaceTec announced the release of the Scan+Match Apps for its revolutionary UR® Code identity verification protocol. The apps scan, validate, and match a face to the biometric data encoded in a UR Code, with no biometric data or personally identifiable data leaving the user’s device.

UR Codes are digitally-signed biometric barcodes that enable codeholders to prove their legal identity. The new Scan+Match Apps allow identity verification and access to associated privileges, whether in person or remotely, and are provided globally free of charge.

The Scan+Match App is very easy to download and use, and provides free access to anyone who will use UR Codes to validate in-person identity anywhere by biometrically and digitally linking the legitimate user to their identification documents, helping to combat the growing threat of identity theft.

Available now in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, the Scan+Match Apps allow users to match the encoded face data in the UR Code to another face, provide a Face Match Level, and validate the digital signature, proving the immutability of the personal info stored in the barcode.

“The Scan+Match App is very easy to use and provides free access to anyone who will use UR Codes to validate in-person identity, anywhere in the world, by biometrically and digitally linking the legitimate user to their identification documents, helping combat the growing threat of identity theft,” said Owen McShane, VP of Government Relations.

UR Codes are generated by legal identity issuing authorities by secure UR Encoder software running inside the issuing authority’s firewall. Using the issuing authority’s unique public/private encryption key pair, the UR Encoder software cryptographically signs each UR Code, making them provably immutable. UR Codes store each codeholder’s unique, digitally-signed face data, personal info, and legal identity data, empowering secure, low-cost, two-party identity verification at an unlimited scale. UR Codes can securely store data from driver licenses, passports, credit cards, contracts, and other official documents, which are then verifiably and biometrically bound to that individual.
