Deepfakes are putting document and selfie checks under pressure. HKEJ’s front-page coverage brings attention to the role government digital identity can play in customer verification.

Never thought I'd see the day our specific niche hit the front page of HKEJ. But here we are.
Why it matters
OCR reads information from a document; it does not by itself establish that the document is genuine or belongs to the applicant. Deepfakes also challenge systems that rely on images and video. Government digital identity offers a further source of identity evidence, with the available attributes and authentication process depending on the scheme.
We have been building this since 2024
We started helping clients integrate "iAM Smart" into their eKYC architectures back in early 2024. It is validating to see Digital ID get the front-page focus it deserves.
