The 1Kosmos privacy-focused credential service brings a modern approach to identity enrollment and authentication, equipping government agencies with advanced security to counter phishing and fraudulent activities targeting citizens and residents.
This industry-certified CSP offers seamless, low-friction self-service options for identity verification (like IAL2) and authentication (such as AAL2), accessible via app or app-free methods from any device, anywhere, at any time. The verified credentials are securely stored in a resident-controlled digital wallet, available through a web or app interface.
Following verification and enrollment, residents can authenticate using various methods, including phishing-resistant options like FIDO passkeys, device biometrics, and 1Kosmos LiveID, along with traditional methods like push notifications, email/SMS, and tokens.
Residents can then easily use their reusable credentials to access services and securely handle and share their personal data, streamlining privacy, compliance, and management for agencies.
The managed 1Kosmos CSP service replaces slow, error-prone manual processes, cutting down on IT overhead and resource demands. This enables organizations to avoid data honeypots and focus their resources on delivering services efficiently to eligible recipients.
1Kosmos BlockID Verify revolutionizes user onboarding by offering efficient self-service identity verification with a robust architectural framework. As a credential service provider, it meets the NIST 800-63-3 assurance level 2 (IAL2) standards, enabling KYC/AML compliance, verifying worker eligibility, and supporting digital government and healthcare services alongside various commercial applications.
Our top-rated NIST-certified algorithm minimizes racial and gender bias, fostering fairness and objectivity in identity verification. This advanced approach outperforms manual processes by reducing errors and exceeding industry standards, helping to prevent identity fraud, lower operational expenses, and mitigate compliance risks.
1Kosmos redefines customer, citizen, and resident onboarding through self-service KYC identity verification, followed by a seamless, identity-backed digital wallet. This architecture enables secure logins, transactions, and safe sharing of personal data.
With 1Kosmos, differentiate genuine users with verified identities from fraudsters hiding behind stolen or synthetic data. Legitimate users benefit from customized, fast, and secure onboarding and authentication experiences designed to meet their needs.
Our identity verification and passwordless MFA solutions build a foundation of trust with every digital interaction, fostering customer loyalty and blocking fraud—clearing the way for sustainable growth. Customers, citizens, and residents want recognition. Cybercriminals don’t. So why rely on outdated passwords, 2FA, and device-based authentication to treat them all the same?
Our solution leverages real biometrics linked to verified identities, offering an architectural edge that strengthens authentication and provides organizations with a transformative level of trust and convenience in digital interactions.
Why is this so important?
The core issue with traditional methods—like passwords, standalone biometrics, and even social media-based logins—is that they rely on assumptions rather than proof of identity. These methods blindly assume that the person accessing the system is truly who they claim to be.
We refer to this as “hope-based authentication,” and a glance at current cybersecurity news shows it’s simply not effective.
Agent-assisted password reset represents a key cybersecurity vulnerability. Weak caller verification processes put the onus on agents to decide if a caller is legitimate. When they get it wrong, this single point of failure can lead to massive disruption to operations and millions in losses. 1Kosmos modernizes identity verification with a simple self-service workflow that can be executed from any device to detect identity impersonation and quickly establish high-assurance trust for legitimate workers.
