Use the Secure ID Verification Simulator
Develop and test using the simulator before transitioning to live data.
When your Sudo Platform instance is configured and Secure ID Verification is enabled, the service may be enabled in one of two modes, each of which will verify identities using different data sources.
Verification Mode | Description |
|---|---|
Simulator | Well-known inputs of synthetic identity data produce predictable results. |
Live | All identity verification is performed using live data sources. In this mode, there is no simulator data. |
In simulator mode, different combinations of known data can be provided to the
verifyIdentity API to extract specific results. The table below lists the data that can be provided to the Secure ID Verification service operating in simulator mode.Scenario | First Name | Last Name | Address | City | State | Postal Code | Country | Date of Birth (yyyy-mm-dd) | Verified? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Valid identity | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | Yes |
Valid identity | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | (omitted) | (omitted) | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | Yes |
Incorrect street name | John | Smith | 222333 Magnolia | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Incorrect street number and street name | John | Smith | 2240 Magnolia | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Incorrect street number | John | Smith | 2240 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Incorrect ZIP code | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | GA | 30316 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Incorrect state | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | AL | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Newer address available | John | Smith | 3612 Any St | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Address is typically not residential (hotel, hospital) | John | Smith | 8888 Any St | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-02-28 | No |
Incorrect year of birth | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1970-02-28 | No |
Incorrect month of birth | John | Smith | 222333 Peachtree Place | Atlanta | GA | 30318 | USA | 1975-03-28 | No |
Person is deceased | James | Williams | 5555 Mountain Rd | Rockmart | GA | 30153 | USA | 1975-03-28 | No |
Almost all of these tests can also be run where the test data omits the city and state, i.e. sets them to undefined. The exception is the invalid state test case.
All other combinations of input data will result in identity verification failure.
A Secure ID Verification instance will be switched to live mode after review with the Sudo Platform team, ensuring that the data protection responsibilities shared between you and the Sudo Platform are clear and understood.The Secure ID Verification service will initially be configured in Simulator mode so that familiarisation and development can commence.
