Identity verification process
Techniques described herein involve processes and systems for performing identity verification on a network. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that comprises receiving, by a computing system and from a requesting device, a request to perform an identity verification for a requesting user that is operating the requesting device; outputting, by the computing system and to the requesting device, code information; enabling, by the computing system, the requesting device to display a code derived from the code information; receiving, by the computing system and from a verification device, an image of another device; and determining, by the computing system and based on the image of the other device, whether the other device is the requesting device.
1 . A computing system comprising a storage device and processing circuitry having access to the storage device, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
receive, from a requesting device, a request to perform an identity verification for a requesting user that is operating the requesting device;
output, to the requesting device, code information;
enable the requesting device to display a code derived from the code information;
receive, from a verification device operated by a verification user having personal knowledge of an identity associated with the requesting user, an image of a pictured device; and
determine, based on the image of the pictured device, whether the pictured device is the requesting device.
2 . The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive proximity information indicating whether the verification device is near the requesting device.
3 . The computing system of claim 2 , wherein to receive proximity information, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive, from both the requesting device and the verification device, proximity information.
4 . The computing system of claim 3 , wherein to determine whether the pictured device is the requesting device, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine, based on the proximity information, whether the verification device is near the requesting device.
5 . The computing system of claim 1 , wherein to determine whether the pictured device is the requesting device, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine whether the image of the pictured device includes an image of the code being displayed by the pictured device.
6 . The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine whether the pictured device is being operated by the requesting user.
7 . The computing system of claim 6 , wherein to determine whether the pictured device is being operated by the requesting user, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
identify the requesting user in the image of the pictured device.
8 . The computing system of claim 7 , wherein to identify the requesting user in the image of the pictured device, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
perform facial recognition analysis on the image of the pictured device.
9 . The computing system of claim 6 , wherein the pictured device is operated by an operator, and wherein processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive, from the verification device and based on input detected by the verification device, an indication of identity about the operator.
10 . The computing system of claim 9 , wherein to determine whether the pictured device is being operated by the requesting user, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine, based on the indication of identity about the operator, whether the operator is the requesting user.
11 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system and from a requesting device, a request to perform an identity verification for a requesting user that is operating the requesting device;
outputting, by the computing system and to the requesting device, code information;
enabling, by the computing system, the requesting device to display a code derived from the code information;
receiving, by the computing system and from a verification device operated by a verification user having personal knowledge of an identity associated with the requesting user, an image of a pictured device; and
determining, by the computing system and based on the image of the pictured device, whether the pictured device is the requesting device.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, by the computing system, proximity information indicating whether the verification device is near the requesting device.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein receiving proximity information includes:
receiving, from both the requesting device and the verification device, proximity information.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein determining whether the pictured device is the requesting device includes:
determining, based on the proximity information, whether the verification device is near the requesting device.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein determining whether the pictured device is the requesting device includes:
determining whether the image of the pictured device includes an image of the code being displayed by the pictured device.
16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining, by the computing system, whether the pictured device is being operated by the requesting user.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein determining whether the pictured device is being operated by the requesting user includes:
identifying the requesting user in the image of the pictured device.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein identifying the requesting user in the image of the pictured device includes:
performing facial recognition analysis on the image of the pictured device.
19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the pictured device is operated by an operator, the method further comprising:
receiving, by the computing system from the verification device and based on input detected by the verification device, an indication of identity about the operator.
20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure processing circuitry of a computing system to:
receive, from a requesting device, a request to perform an identity verification for a requesting user that is operating the requesting device;
output, to the requesting device, code information;
enable the requesting device to display a code derived from the code information;
receive, from a verification device operated by a verification user having personal knowledge of an identity associated with the requesting user, an image of a pictured device; and
determine, based on the image of the pictured device, whether the pictured device is the requesting device.
