Prove Pre-Fill Solution Overview

Our Prove Pre-Fill solution streamlines online form completion by auto-filling verified user information like name and address, while also providing strong identity authentication to prevent fraud. It leads to faster onboarding and reduced friction for users while maintaining a high level of security.

Integration Components

In order to implement the Prove Pre-Fill solution, you’ll need the following components:

  • Prove Server-Side SDK: You will use our Server-Side SDK on the backend of your web application.

    • Purpose: Our Server-Side SDK interacts directly with Prove APIs on your backend. It handles OAuth token management and simplifies the request and response handling for our Prove APIs.

    • Supported Languages: We provide server SDKs in Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Go.

If your backend language is not currently supported, you can still integrate our products by easily interacting with our REST APIs

  • Prove Link Client-Side SDK: You must use one of our Client-Side SDKs on the frontend of your web, iOS or Android application.

    • Purpose: Our client-side SDK handles all server calls for Mobile Auth, OTP, and Instant Link possession checks and handles fallback functionality.
  • Web or Native Application: Your application Prove will integrate into.

Prove Pre-Fill® Flow Diagram

This flow diagram contains a visual representation of the Server-Side, Client-Side, and UX components required to integrate. Please review the written walk-through below this diagram to review each functions responsibilities.

Step-By-Step Responsibilities

Reference the below steps to understand each function’s responsibilities in the above diagram. If you are looking for a step-by-step comprehensive walk through, please reference our 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 it includes SMS OTP (One-Time Passcode) to verify a 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 Challenge call indicates whether Prove can authenticate the consumers identity information with enough trust and assurance. If so, Challenge passes back the consumer’s verified identity information

  • The Complete call indicates whether Prove can authenticate the ownership
