FaceTrust (AI): Self-Hosted Identity Verification Without the Cloud Lock-In

FaceTrust is a self-hosted platform that covers face verification, document OCR, liveness detection, and face search — all through a single REST API.

The Problem with Third-Party Identity APIs

Most identity verification services are cloud-hosted, meaning your users' biometric data and document images leave your infrastructure. For regulated industries or data-sensitive businesses, this is a hard constraint.

FaceTrust takes a different approach: the platform runs on your own servers.

What FaceTrust Covers

Face Verification

Submit a selfie and a document image. FaceTrust compares the face on the document with the face in the selfie, extracts document fields via OCR, and verifies the expiry date — all in one API call.

Face Login

Users authenticate by submitting a selfie and an identifier. The system matches their face against stored data and returns an outcome. No password required.

Search a single face image against an entire collection. Useful for deduplication, large-scale verification, or access control across a venue.

Liveness Detection

Initiate a liveness session via API, load the provided webview or iframe on the client, and receive the result back via webhook. Prevents photo spoofing attacks.

Integration Model

Organisations get a dashboard for API key management and documentation access. All features are exposed as REST endpoints — compatible with any backend stack.
