Digital Identity Verification with 100% PII Protection

A digital identity verification service confirms that a person is who they claim to be by validating government-issued documents, biometrics, and personal data without a physical, in-person check. For Midy by Norton, Euristiq built this as a digital credential platform: users upload an ID once, complete biometric verification, and partners then confirm authenticity without ever accessing or storing the underlying identity data. The result is faster onboarding, lower fraud risk, and privacy-by-design compliance. Because verification data is deleted immediately after processing, the service delivers 100% PII protection with explicit user consent.

Digital credential onboarding lets a user prove their identity a single time and reuse that verified credential across partner services. In Midy by Norton, Euristiq designed secure onboarding protocols defining the APIs, messaging, and interactions between mobile apps, backend microservices, and credential issuers. Encryption and decryption protect data in transit, and configuration-management APIs let clients add or adjust verification checks without code changes or infrastructure updates. The one-time document upload removes redundancy and friction, so users complete onboarding faster while partners receive only the confirmation they need, never the raw identity data.

You verify identity without storing personally identifiable information (PII) by processing verification data in memory and deleting it the moment the check completes, success or failure. Midy by Norton assigns anonymized identifiers to detect document reuse and fraud, so partners can monitor misuse without ever seeing real identity data. Fuzzy name-matching confirms a user’s legal name while allowing minor variations, and results are shared only with explicit consent. If a user abandons the flow or the system fails, all data is auto-deleted by predefined rules. This privacy-first design gives the platform 100% PII protection.

To scale identity verification for high demand, Euristiq migrated more than 18 microservices from Amazon SQS to Kafka, giving Midy by Norton a far more capable asynchronous, event-driven backbone for processing verification events at volume. Standardized Golang and Java libraries kept services consistent, a custom ApiVersion annotation routed requests by API-version header without duplicate endpoints, and enhanced monitoring, logging, and tracing gave the team real-time visibility without sacrificing system stability. Running on AWS EKS, RDS, DocumentDB, ElastiCache, and MSK, the platform maintains high availability and performance as load grows.

Yes. Euristiq built configuration-management APIs into Midy by Norton so clients can manage and customize verification checks on demand, adding, adjusting, or removing checks without code changes or infrastructure updates. This flexibility was a core requirement: the original onboarding and presentation process was rigid and often needed engineering work for each product request. The new component architecture makes the service adaptable, so partners can tune verification to their own business rules and compliance needs while the platform continues to protect personal data by default.
