In the dynamic realm of identity verification, the Xmartlabs team was entrusted with a unique challenge by ID.me. The mission? To build an app that not only verified identities securely but also reshaped how sensitive information is shared.

Currently, ID.me provides secure identification for more than 100 million individuals. Built to comply with the most demanding security standards, this app is trusted by the US government and the Department of Defense and has helped prevent more than $270 billion in fraud.

Stage 1‍

From Concept to Challenge

ID.me approached us with a visionary concept: an app to empower veterans by allowing them to prove their identity securely. Our team faced a substantial security challenge, delving into layers of government data security. This initial engagement set the stage for our future collaboration.

Stage 2

Reinventing and Expanding

ID.me returned to Xmartlabs with the existing app, ready for a transformation. Together, we revamped the main identity verification app, expanding its scope to include students, teachers, and healthcare workers. Additionally, we developed two companion apps to enhance the user experience.

Security Highlights

Ensuring the utmost security was paramount throughout the development process:

Implemented robust data encryption measures.
Established secure communication protocols with server validation.
Added an extra layer of encryption with SSL pinning for end-to-end security.

ID.me's technology aligns with the most stringent federal standards and holds approval as a NIST 800-63-3 IAL2/AAL2 compliant credential service provider, according to the Kantara Initiative.

Conclusion

The journey with ID.me was not just a development project but a collaborative exploration into the future of identity verification. Through challenges and triumphs, Xmartlabs demonstrated an unwavering commitment to innovation, security, and user-centric solutions.
