CONSENT VERIFICATION
Consent Verification With Verifiable Proof
Merchant-defined consent text on a handwritten or printed note. Active proof for payouts, recoveries, and high-risk changes. Verified in under ten seconds.
Built for Defensible Proof, Not Just Liveness
Liveness Confirms Who. Consent Verification Confirms What They Authorised
Proof of the Exact Action, Not Just Presence
Merchants submit the exact text per transaction. The user writes or prints it, with an optional signature, creating proof the right person approved the exact action.
Delivery, capture, and verification complete in four steps without any UI rebuild on the merchant side.
A Physical Note Beats a Recorded Face
Shufti's capture engine handles poor lighting, angled shots, and partial occlusion to keep the flow clean under real-world conditions.
When face is enabled, live face matching pairs with the note to verify the genuine account holder, not just a photo or injected media.
Handwriting That Does Not End in Manual Review
Shufti's OCR handles multiple scripts and languages and returns a full evidence bundle ready to export in PDF or JSON for any audit or dispute.
Captured note, matched text, device, IP region, and capture duration are all recorded at verification time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Consent Verification actually prove?
It proves the user actively presented the exact text the merchant submitted, creating a verifiable evidence record that the user approved a specific action: a withdrawal, payout change, device change, account recovery, or any merchant-defined event. The evidence bundle carries the captured artefact, matched OCR output, timestamp, session metadata, and a tamper-evident hash.
How is this different from liveness?
Liveness confirms the person is live on camera. It does not confirm what the person authorised. Consent Verification adds the authorisation layer by verifying a transaction-specific physical artefact carrying merchant-submitted text. Motion-based prompts are replayable by injection tools; a physical note with dynamic text is mathematically harder to fake in real-time.
How does it resist video-injection and deepfake attacks?
Two layers. First, capture requires a physical artefact with dynamic merchant-submitted text rendered in real-time lighting, shadow, grain, and hand interaction. Second, when face is enabled, the face layer applies iBeta PAD Level 2-tested passive and active liveness. The combined pipeline blocks the majority of replay, emulator, and virtual-camera injection attempts.
Can the consent text be customised?
Yes. Merchants submit the exact text per transaction via REST API, 4 to 400 characters, with dynamic tokens (transaction ID, amount, date, merchant-defined fields) substituted at request time. Pre-configured templates support onboarding, payout, recovery, and device-change flows.
Can face capture be required, optional, or prohibited?
All three. Face-required for high-risk actions (crypto withdrawals, payout changes), face-optional for mid-risk step-ups, and face-prohibited where biometric-consent law (BIPA, TDPSA, Washington MHMDA) makes face capture undesirable. Configurable at account level with per-transaction override.
What if the user cannot handwrite the note?
Three fallbacks: the user may print the text and present the printed copy; type the text in a merchant-provided form and present the typewritten output; or the merchant may switch to face-match-only at a lower assurance level. Accessibility accommodations are configurable per jurisdiction.
Where is data processed and what retention applies?
Data is processed in the merchant-selected region — EU (Frankfurt, Dublin), UK (London), US (Virginia, Oregon), APAC (Singapore, Tokyo, Mumbai), or MENA (Bahrain) — and does not leave that region by default. Retention is client-configurable 30 days to 10 years. DPA and SCC on request.
Can Consent Verification deploy on-premises or private cloud?
Yes. Consent Verification is a first-party Shufti capture technology: Shufti owns the OCR stack, face-match stack, and policy engine end-to-end, and they run on infrastructure the customer can isolate. Supported models include regional public cloud, dedicated private cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped deployment for regulated environments.
Which certifications apply?
PCI DSS applies at company level to cardholder-data handling. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II scope and current status are confirmed on request under NDA. iBeta PAD Level 2 applies to the live-face-match component when face is enabled. ETSI conformity for electronic identification is in progress. DHS RIVR 2025 applies upstream to Shufti document verification, which Consent Verification can be layered onto.
Secure High-Risk Transactions with Action-Tied Consent
Stop liveness bypasses at the transaction layer. Shufti anchors cryptographic user consent to specific high-value actions, running automated first-party OCR checks to validate explicit authorization in real time.
