Document Security

Authenticate Documents. Seal Their Integrity.

id3's document security portfolio combines AI-powered identity document verification with cryptographic Visible Digital Seal technology — covering the full lifecycle from issuance to verification, on mobile, server, or embedded systems.

Document Security Technologies

Two complementary technologies covering the full document security chain — from verification of existing documents to issuance of cryptographically sealed ones.

ISO 22376

Visible Digital Seal

Cryptographic Proof of Document Authenticity

Embeds a cryptographically signed 2D barcode directly on a physical document — making authenticity machine-verifiable with any smartphone, without a database lookup or infrastructure dependency. ISO 22376 compliant and PKI-backed.

  • Cryptographic signature (PKI)
  • ISO 22376 & ISO 22385 compliant
  • Offline verification via smartphone
  • Tamper-evident by design
  • Any paper or digital credential

Why Document Security Matters

Document fraud is a growing vector for identity theft, border circumvention, and financial crime. Automated verification and cryptographic sealing close the gap that manual inspection leaves open.

Real-Time Authentication

Automated verification completes in under a second — enabling high-throughput checkpoints at borders, banks, and onboarding flows without slowing down legitimate users.

AI Forgery Detection

Machine learning models trained on thousands of document types detect subtle forgeries, altered fields, and inconsistent security features that escape human inspection.

Cryptographic Integrity

VDS seals bind document content to a PKI signature — any modification to the document after issuance immediately invalidates the seal and is detectable offline.

Mobile-First Verification

Both technologies run on standard smartphones — no dedicated scanner hardware required. Verify a document or scan a VDS barcode with the device already in hand.

Standards Compliant

ICAO 9303, ISO/IEC 14443 (NFC), ISO 22376 (VDS data format), ISO 22385 (trust framework) — designed to interoperate with international identity infrastructure and trust frameworks.

Offline Capable

VDS verification requires no database query or network connection — the cryptographic proof is self-contained in the barcode, enabling verification in low-connectivity environments.

Application Domains

Document security technology is deployed wherever authentic identity documents are issued, verified, or relied upon.

Border Control

Automated passport and travel document authentication at border crossing points — MRZ, NFC chip, and security element verification in under a second.

Banking & KYC

Remote document verification for customer onboarding — extract identity data from ID documents and verify their authenticity without a branch visit.

Credential Issuance

Embed VDS barcodes in diplomas, certificates, visas, and driving licences — creating tamper-evident credentials verifiable by any smartphone globally.

Healthcare

Secure medical certificates, vaccination records, and prescription documents with cryptographic VDS seals — verifiable offline by practitioners worldwide.

Civil Registration

Seal birth certificates, marriage records, and civil documents with cryptographic proof — enabling secure digital sharing and instant authenticity verification.

Travel & Visa

Automate visa sticker verification and travel document processing at embassies, consulates, and airports using the Document SDK's classification and extraction engine.
