AutoIdent External Release Notes

New Features

1. Hash Signing: AutoIdent with Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) now supports Hash Signing via the trust service provider Namirial. Hash signing is a method of creating an electronic signature in which the PDF document is not actually signed, but a cryptographic hash of the document is signed instead. This method provides a significant enhancement compared to the traditional file signing approach.
2. Enhanced document support: Support for new document models, including the addition of Austrian Passport 2023 and Swiss Drivers License 2023.
3. Automatic ident cancellation: For any idents whereby the ‘Security Features’ video is missing, this new feature can be enabled to automatically cancel the ident. Support for this feature was driven by customers’ compliance requirements mandating that every ident must have a ‘Security features’ video in the final result – if this video is not included in the final result, such idents would be non-compliant.

Enhancements

1. Updated phone number validation library: The phone number validation library in the AutoIdent with Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) signing flow has been enhanced to support validation of new Romanian mobile phone number series.
2. Updated liveness detection component: Updates to the liveness detection component in the Android SDK to better support fraud detection.

Bug Fixes

1. Ident Auto Cancellation: If NFC is used by the user during the ident, the Security Features step will be skipped and there will be no Security Features video captured and saved. Such idents will no longer be cancelled by the system when the configuration is enabled.
2. Underage error screen: Fixed UI issues in the Underage error feedback screen on iOS.
3. UI Fixes: Fixed UI inconsistencies in the iOS SDK for the Additional Document capture screen.
