Verify Identity Assurance (IDA)

OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance (OIDC4IDA), is an extension of the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol designed to provide higher levels of assurance in identity verification. It addresses scenarios where traditional OIDC may not provide sufficient assurances about the identity of users, especially in contexts requiring strong identity proofing and authentication measures. OIDC4IDA focuses on explicitly communicating the details of the assurance process used to verify and validate the end-users identity. This includes information about the methods used for identity proofing, the level of assurance achieved, and any relevant attributes or claims associated with the user’s identity.

The various checks in verify policies add the results of their identity proofing and verification to the identity assurance claims for a user. You can retrieve these claims with Read One Verify Identity Assurance, and you can remove them with Delete One Verify Identity Assurance.
