miiCard, Toopher to deliver online identity proofing & assertion solution

Wednesday 12 June 2013 10:53 CET | News

UK-based online identity verification service miiCard has entered a partnership with e-identity services provider Toopher to help users and businesses fight fraud and secure new services online.

The combined miiCard identity and Toophers geo-location authentication application can verify the legitimate use of a proven identity online. miiCard leverages a users ability to access secure accounts to prove their identity to the level of a photo ID. The Toopher mobile application is used for location aware, two-step verification every time a member edits or shares their miiCard ID.

Users of both miiCard and Toopher can select the joint solution to verify their identity and login securely to social networks in order to prove the validity of their social accounts. In more secure settings such as in a banking relationship or to access online health records, a user could leverage the joint identity proofing and location aware authentication technology to access or share highly sensitive data that would normally be unavailable online.

Individual miiCard or Toopher users must first link their accounts to use the jointly supported service. Once active, users can apply their miiCard Trusted Identity to their Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn accounts to verify their identity on any social media accounts. The joint solution can also be used as a user-controlled Bring Your Own Identity (BYOID) service for both identity and authentication across a number of websites and services, including those financial, healthcare, dating and online recruiting websites that currently support a miiCard login.

miiCards online identity verification service allows consumers to track, monitor and take control of their identity online. Using the authority and security inherent in a users online financial accounts to validate identity, miiCard can now verify almost 300 million users across nine countries and five continents.
