Feature Catalogue: VID (Virtual ID)

VID is packed with enterprise-grade features designed for the African market.

1. Unified Enrollment (Web + USSD)

  • Omni-Channel Flow: Start on USSD, finish on Web, or vice versa. Your identity state is synchronized via your phone number hash.
  • Auto-Country Detection: Real-time resolution of 54+ African countries from phone prefixes.
  • Multi-SIM Bonding: Link up to 3 SIM cards to a single VID to boost your Trust Score and provide redundancy.

2. GSMA CAMARA Verification Suite

  • SIM Possession Check: Real-time verification that the user actually owns the SIM they are enrolling with.
  • MNO KYC Match: Direct verification of Name, Address, and Birthdate against operator records.
  • Network Geofencing: Verifies the user's location via cell-tower triangulation (Location Verification API).
  • Fraud Signal Detection: Automated check for recent SIM Swaps (7-day and 24-hour windows).

3. Machine Learning Trust Engine

  • Weighted Trust Scoring: Dynamic calculation of an identity "Grade" (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) based on signal reliability.
  • Explainable Results: Users see exactly why they received a specific score (e.g., "Location match failed but KYC passed").
  • Fallback Logic: If a specific API is down, the engine uses weighted averages to maintain service availability.

4. Agentic Bonus Layer: Autonomous Revocation

  • Continuous Monitoring: Background workers poll the network every 5 minutes for security triggers.
  • Auto-Lockdown: Automatic revocation of VID if a SIM Swap or fraudulent location change is detected.
  • Audit Logging: Comprehensive trail of autonomous decisions for system transparency.

5. Privacy & Security

  • Zero-PII Storage: No names, raw phone numbers, or locations are ever saved in the VID database.
  • Ephemeral Certificates: High-resolution digital certificates generated on-the-fly.
  • QR Code Verification: Offline-compatible verification via encrypted QR codes.
  • Rate Limiting & CORS: Production-hardened API protection.

6. Globalization & Accessibility

  • Multi-Language Support:
    • English (Default)
    • Hausa (West Africa)
    • Twi (Ghana)
    • Swahili (East Africa)
    • Zulu (South Africa)
    • Sesotho (Lesotho/South Africa)
  • Feature Phone Optimized: Text-only USSD interface for 2G/3G devices.

7. Developer & Partner Tools

  • Third-Party Verify Portal: Dedicated page for banks/NGOs to verify VIDs without integration overhead.
  • Nokia NaC Sandbox Mode: Easy testing with mock operators.
