CFAir Authenticate Face API
Authenticate Face API is a way that you can independently Re-authenticate existing customer accounts. Enterprise customers use the AuthenticateFace API to verify that a previously enrolled individual is the same individual associated with the Customer UID. The API intends to confirm that all enrolled faces (headshot and selfies) associated with a Customer UID match with the submitted Face via this API call.
AuthenticateFace with Face Image (Selfies)
The first method enables a selfie to be submitted and compared with the faces associated with the Customer UID provided with the request in the header.
AuthenticateFace with ID Document Front Image (Headshot)
The second method enables a headshot extracted from the ID document front image submitted and compared with the faces associated with Customer UID provided with the request in the header.
The Selfie or Headshot (IF Front) is an important difference to be called out.
When Re-authenticating transactions using the AuthenticateFace API call, you must create an account with a unique location code because Re-authentication requires a specific risk model configuration.
This new account should be within an existing Merchant account. AuthenticateFace API matches all submitted face images with images that have previously been enrolled.
We recommend using 2884 as the designator. You must include this code in the AuthenticateFace header parameters.
