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.

Simulator Mode

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.

ID Document Test Images

Each of the SDKs provide test data that can be used to test ID document verification with the simulator.

In environments where a face image is required as part of ID document verification processing, the SDKs also provides images that represent where the face image is a match for the ID document, and where the face image is not a match for the ID document.

Live Mode

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 familiarization and development can commence.
