At uqudo, we’re committed to providing cutting-edge identity verification solutions. Our latest SDK releases – Web SDK 3.6.1 and Mobile SDK 3.2.0 – bring significant improvements to enhance your KYC processes, bolster security, and streamline user onboarding. Let’s dive into the key updates and how they benefit your business.
Enhanced Security Features
Improved Root Detection for Android
We’ve strengthened our root detection mechanism on Android devices, providing greater security against dynamic code injection and other fraudulent activities. This ensures that user onboarding remains secure even in potentially compromised environments.
Updated Security Protocols for iOS
For iOS users, we’ve updated OpenSSL-Universal to version 1.1.2301, enhancing overall security. The minimum supported iOS version is now 12.0, ensuring compatibility with the latest security features.
Expanded Document Support
UAE Digital Passport Verification
Our platform now supports the digital version of the UAE passport. This allows companies in the UAE to verify identities using Emirates IDs, physical passports, and digital passports, providing a comprehensive verification solution.
Enhanced Support for Multiple Countries
We’ve improved support for Rwandan and Somaliland IDs, making it easier for users from these countries to verify their identities. Additionally, we’ve introduced a simplified verification process for Kenyan IDs, enabling lookup using only the identity number.
Optimised User Experience
Improved ID Photo Quality Checks
Our SDK now provides better feedback when an ID photo is covered by a finger or any other object, rejecting the scan and guiding the user to retake the photo. This ensures higher quality document captures and reduces verification errors.
Rejection of Paper Document Scans
By default, our SDK now rejects ID document scans presented on paper, enhancing security against potential fraud. However, we’ve included an option to allow paper scans if required for specific use cases.
