A holistic approach for the automatic and real-time verification of valid ID documents is being developed for six different European countries as part of the onboarding process of the IMPULSE eID solution. It relies on state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence techniques and will provide a transparent and secure framework to detect forged ID documents.
The EU-funded IMPULSE focuses on building a decentralised Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) model by combining two of the most promising technologies available today, such as Artificial Intelligence and blockchain networks, with the aim of facing the limitation of the existing electronic identification systems in the public sector.
