System, method and computer program for verifying a signatory of a document

摘要

Systems and method for verifying a user signing a document are disclosed. In particular, certain disclosed embodiments relate to verifying that a user signing a document corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the user having been previously authenticated using a source of machine-readable identity data. The verifying may be made by receiving, from the source of machine-readable identity data, first digital image data indicative of a first image of the previously authenticated user and first identity data, and receiving from a camera, a captured second image comprising second digital image data that corresponds to the user. Responsive to the first image and the second image being determined to represent the same user, verification data is generated and associated with the document.

1. A method of verifying that a user signing a document to be signed corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the previously authenticated user having been previously authenticated using an identity document, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computer processing system, from at least one camera, a captured first image of the identity document, the identity document being a source of machine-readable identity data, the captured first image of the identity document comprising a first picture of the previously authenticated user; receiving, by the computer processing system, from the source of machine-readable identity data, first identity data associated with the identity document, the first identity data being associated with the previously authenticated user; receiving, by the computer processing system, from the at least one camera, a captured second image comprising a second picture of the previously authenticated user; accessing, by a chip reader, an integrated circuit component of the identity document, thereby to obtain a third image comprising a third picture of the previously authenticated user; comparing, by the computer processing system, the first picture, the second picture, and the third picture; determining, by the computer processing system, based on the comparing of the first picture, the second picture, and the third picture, that the first picture, the second picture, and the third picture are of a same user; responsive to the first picture, the second picture, and the third picture being determined to represent the same user, generating, by the computer processing system, verification data indicating that the same user is the previously authenticated user, the verification data including second identity data indicative of the previously authenticated user; and associating, by the computer processing system, the verification data with the document to be signed.
