1:1 AUTHENTICATION
1:1 Authentication Verifies the Real User Behind Every Action
Passwords confirm what a user knows. OTPs confirm what they have. Neither confirms who they are. 1:1 biometric authentication matches a live face against the identity enrolled at onboarding, at login, at payment, at every moment that matters.
Precision Built for Stronger Risk Detection
Secure Every Gap Across the User Lifecycle
The 1:1 Architecture Advantage
1:N searches scale errors with database size. Shufti checks the live face against just one photo on file per user, so accuracy stays sharp whether you have a thousand users or a million.
Passwords, OTPs, and authenticator codes pile friction onto every login. Shufti replaces them with a single passive selfie. No prompts, no codes, no documents.
Defence Before the Match
Photos, screen replays, and 2D/3D masks defeat single-layer liveness. Shufti runs multi-stream passive liveness on every capture, with 3D depth rejecting flat-surface attacks. Active liveness available for high-risk events.
Virtual cameras, emulators, and deepfake streams bypass post-capture liveness. Shufti blocks injection at source through sensor-noise fingerprinting, metadata inspection, and camera-driver analysis. The 1:1 match only runs on a real, real-time feed.
Surface matching breaks under aging, facial hair, and weight change. Shufti uses 68-point landmark comparison with aging-awareness, plus duplicate account detection.
Identity Continuity Across the Lifecycle
Most stacks treat onboarding and authentication as separate enrollments. Shufti creates one 1:1 template per customer identifier at onboarding. Universal Applicant ID auto-enrols existing Shufti KYC users.
After login, credentials stand in for the person. Shufti runs a 1:1 match at login, step-up, and action-based events. Every event resolves against the same enrolled template.
Recovery flows are where authentication stacks collapse. Shufti replaced KBA and reset links with a 1:1 match. Bulk CSV migration onboards entire legacy user bases in one operation.
Deploy Anywhere, Own Everything
Cloud-only architectures disqualify regulated buyers at architecture review. Shufti deploys Cloud, On-Premises, Hybrid, or Private Cloud on the same 1:1 architecture.
Aggregated stacks ship updates on someone else's release cycle. Shufti owns liveness, matching, template generation, storage, and pre-match defence in-house. Defences ship the same week a new threat surfaces.
Adding authentication usually forces a second enrollment per user. Shufti reuses the onboarding selfie as the 1:1 reference, with no re-registration required.

WHERE 1:1 AUTHENTICATION FITS
Built for Regulated and High-Risk Industries
Step-Up Assurance for High-Risk Transactions
Banks need stronger identity checks at the moments that matter most, not just at login. Shufti's 1:1 authentication confirms the enrolled customer during payment approval, beneficiary changes, limit increases, and recovery flows, giving banks a true inherence factor with an audit-ready decision trail.
Don't just take our word for it, hear from our customers
The Confidence Our Clients Share
The future of digital identity is defined by trust, interoperability, and regulatory alignment, so our partnership with Shufti reinforces DevCode Identity's commitment to supporting our global customers with the most secure, best-in-class, complaints identity verification solutions available today.
Combining our Conversion Driven Compliance Orchestration Platform with Shufti's global KYC and IDV capabilities allows our customers not only to navigate complex regulatory demands but also to maintain a seamless customer onboarding experience with the highest achievable conversion rates.
Shufti gives us verification journeys we can trust across every market we serve. The ability to route players through passive database checks, eID authentication, and full biometric liveness — all behind one API — has reshaped how we think about onboarding compliance.
Their team acts like an extension of ours. When regulators added new requirements across two European markets, Shufti’s journey builder let us adapt in days, not months.
FXBO customers demand speed without compromising AML rigour. Shufti’s eIDV fits exactly there — high-assurance verification for large deposits, invisible background checks for everything else, and one compliance trail across the board.
Integration took a single sprint. The SDK handled the full journey, so our product team stayed focused on trading features instead of building KYC screens.
As a regulated European payments platform, we need identity verification that meets eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6 without multi-vendor stitching. Shufti delivers both — native eID authentication for high-assurance markets and docless database checks where eIDs don’t reach.
One contract, one audit log. That changes the compliance conversation entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1:1 biometric authentication and how does it differ from 1:N identification?
1:1 matches one live capture against one stored template tied to a specific user. Constant-time lookup regardless of database size. Lower false match risk. 1:N searches an entire database to identify an unknown person slower, higher exposure, and suited to identification rather than returning-user authentication.
Does 1:1 biometric authentication satisfy PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication requirements?
Yes. Face biometrics qualify as an inherence factor , one of the three SCA categories (knowledge, possession, inherence). Paired with the enrolled device as a possession factor, it meets SCA without passwords or knowledge-based credentials.
How does the system handle changes in a user's appearance over time?
The 68-landmark matching engine targets structural features , bone structure, eye spacing, nasal bridge that remain stable across years. Time-decay models account for facial hair, weight fluctuation, ageing, and accessories like glasses without weakening match precision.
How are biometric templates stored and protected against misuse?
Templates are encrypted, non-reversible mathematical representations of facial geometry. They cannot be reconstructed into a facial image or reverse-engineered. Storage options include cloud, private cloud, or on-premise environments depending on the client's data residency requirements.
Can existing users be migrated from a legacy authentication system without individual re-enrolment?
Yes. Shufti supports bulk enrollment via CSV upload; entire user bases can be migrated from legacy platforms without requiring each user to individually re-register or re-onboard.
Does Shufti own the full biometric stack or rely on third-party components?
Fully proprietary. Liveness detection, facial matching, template generation, and storage are all built and maintained in-house. No third-party SDKs, no outsourced biometric engines, no aggregated dependencies in the pipeline.
How does Shufti detect deepfakes and injection attacks during authentication?
Four layers run before any match is attempted: passive liveness analyses texture and depth cues silently, active liveness triggers guided capture for high-risk moments, 3D depth analysis blocks flat-surface attacks, and injection detection identifies virtual cameras, emulators, deepfakes, and manipulated video streams in real time.
What deployment options are available for organisations with data residency requirements?
SaaS, private cloud, on-premise, or on-device biometric processing. The full technology stack is owned by Shufti with no third-party dependencies enabling compliance with GDPR, LGPD, and sector-specific sovereignty mandates without architectural trade-offs.
How long does integration take, and what technical resources are required?
Two API calls cover the full lifecycle , one for enrolment, one for authentication. Available via REST API (onsite and offsite) and native mobile SDKs for iOS and Android. Webhook callbacks deliver results in real time.
Stop Authenticating Credentials. Start Verifying People.
Your onboarding verifies the person. Your authentication should too. Evaluate whether your current stack confirms identity , or just confirms a credential.
