Biometric solutions company Daon is leveraging its partnership with North African technology company GEMADEC to help create a life certificate digitalization solution for the Moroccan Interprofessional Pension Fund’s (CIMR’s) mobile app.

Leveraging Daon’s IdentityX platform the mobile app, CIMR DIALCOM, provides CIMR with the client’s proof of life. The app prompts the user to take a dynamic selfie that certifies not only identity but also liveness by having the user complete a series of “life challenges” such as eye blinks and head movements.

To complete authentication, the app compares the selfie with a picture on the user’s photo ID. After the user is authenticated and is confirmed living, the app authorizes their pension payment.

Daon most recently presented its authentication technology at FinovateFall 2016. The company offers verification technology that uses a range of biometrics, including fingerprint, face, voice, iris, keystroke, palm, or a combination. Founded in 2002, Daon is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Tom Grissen is CEO.
