Prove Identity Flow

​

Prove Identity Solution Overview

Prove Identity® is a modern identity verification solution that combines active phone possession with other consumer-provided information like name and address to authenticate users seamlessly.

​

Integration Components

In order to implement the Prove Identity solution, you’ll need the following components:

• Prove® Platform server-side SDK: You will use the server-side SDK on the backend of your web application.

  • Purpose: The server-side SDK interacts directly with Prove APIs on your backend. It handles OAuth token management and simplifies the request and response handling for the Prove APIs.

  • Supported Languages: Prove provides server SDKs in Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Go.

• Prove® Platform client-side SDK: You must use one of the client-side SDKs on the frontend of your web, iOS or Android application.

  • Purpose: The client-side SDK handles all server calls for Mobile Auth, one-time password (OTP), and Instant Link possession checks and handles fallback functionality.

• Web or Native Application: Your application Prove will integrate into.

Prove Identity® Flow Diagram

This flow diagram contains a visual representation of the server-side, client-side, and user experience (UX) components required to integrate. Please review the written walk-through below this diagram to review each functions responsibilities.

​

Step-By-Step Responsibilities

Reference these steps to understand each functions responsibilities in the above diagram. If you are looking for a step-by-step comprehensive walk through, please reference the Implementation Guide.

• The Start call generates the OAuth token, initiates the session, and indicates the channel.

• The client-side SDK initiates the Prove possession check.

  • For Mobile Channels

    • If implementing Mobile Auth℠, Prove will complete real-time, MNO-coordinated verification with fallback to SMS one-time password (OTP) to verify a consumer.
    • Otherwise, if implementing without the Mobile Auth add-on, SMS OTP will verify the consumer.

  • For Desktop Channel it includes Instant Link℠ where users click a fortified link within an SMS message.

• The Validate call indicates where Prove can successfully authenticate the possession and reputation checks.

• The Complete call validates indicates whether Prove can authenticate the ownership.
