Frequently Asked Questions

How does Shufti detect deepfake and AI-generated documents?

The forensic pipeline applies DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) frequency analysis to identify artefacts specific to generative AI. AI-synthesised images leave statistical signatures in the frequency domain that are invisible to the human eye and undetectable by template-matching systems. This analysis runs as one of nine independent forensic layers; it does not replace the other eight. A document must clear all nine layers to pass.

What precision metrics has Shufti published for document verification?

DHS RIVR 2025 tested Shufti's document verification pipeline against the most challenging fraud scenarios the U.S. government could assemble. Results: True Accept Rate of 98.49%, False Rejection Rate of 0.0151, and zero False Template Creation events. Shufti earned Top Performer status. These metrics are independently validated, not self-reported.

How accurate is Shufti's OCR on non-Latin scripts?

Shufti's in-house OCR engine achieves 99.7% aggregate accuracy across 150+ languages. On non-Latin scripts, it outperforms Google Vision on Arabic (92.17% vs 90.24%), Vietnamese (96.79% vs 82.36%), CJK (86.87% vs 82.89%), and Burmese. These are internal benchmarks conducted under standardised test conditions against the same document sets.

Can Shufti be deployed on-premises or in a private cloud?

Yes. Document verification is a first-party Shufti product with no external data-source dependency. The full forensic pipeline can be deployed on-premises, in a private cloud, or in an air-gapped environment. Hybrid deployment is also supported: cloud processing for standard volumes, on-premises for sensitive document categories or jurisdictions with data sovereignty requirements.

What regulations does document verification help satisfy?

The document verification pipeline maps to FATF Recommendation 10 (Customer Due Diligence), 5AMLD and 6AMLD identity verification obligations, eIDAS 2.0 document authentication standards, and UK FCA identity verification requirements. Each verification produces a structured evidence package (original image, extracted fields, per-layer forensic results, confidence scores, tamper-evident audit trail) designed to survive regulatory examination.

What is the difference between document verification and identity verification?

Document verification confirms that a physical or digital identity document is authentic, unaltered, and valid. Identity verification is the broader process of confirming that a person is who they claim to be, which may include document verification, biometric matching, database checks, and liveness detection. Document verification is one component of a complete identity verification programme, and typically the first step.
