Два фактора SCA. Одно касание.

You are integrating Didit's Strong Customer Authentication into a payment service provider, bank, EMI, or wallet to satisfy PSD3 / the Payment Services Regulation (PSR). Two factors in one prompt:

  1. Inherence — Biometric Authentication: Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 against the user's previously-enrolled KYC selfie.
  2. Possession — Device & IP Analysis: 200+ real-time fraud signals binding the auth to the user's known device.

Pricing (verified live 2026-05-16):
  - Biometric Authentication: $0.10 per auth
  - Device & IP Analysis: $0.03 per auth
  - Total: $0.13 per Strong Customer Authentication
  - First 500 verifications free every month, forever
  - Re-uses the enrolled selfie from the original KYC — no re-enrolment

PRE-REQUISITES
  - Production API key from https://business.didit.me (sandbox key in 60 seconds, no credit card).
  - Webhook endpoint with HMAC SHA-256 verification of the X-Signature-V2 header.
  - A workflow_id from the no-code Workflow Builder configured as a Biometric Authentication workflow (Passive Liveness + Face Match 1:1 + Device & IP Analysis).
  - The user has previously completed a Didit KYC (the same enrolled selfie backs every subsequent auth).

STEP 1 — Open an authentication session

  POST https://verification.didit.me/v3/session/
  Headers:
    x-api-key: <your api key>
    Content-Type: application/json
  Body (for login auth):
    {
      "workflow_id": "<wf id for SCA biometric auth>",
      "vendor_data": "<your user id>",
      "callback": "https://<your-app>/auth/callback",
      "metadata": {
        "purpose": "login",
        "session_id": "<your front-end session id>"
      },
      "portrait_image": "<base64 JPEG of the user's KYC enrolment selfie, ≤ 1 MB — REQUIRED for SCA's inherence factor; OMIT only if the workflow is liveness-only>"
    }

  Body (for payment with dynamic linking):
    {
      "workflow_id": "<wf id for SCA biometric auth>",
      "vendor_data": "<your user id>",
      "callback": "https://<your-app>/payment/callback",
      "metadata": {
        "purpose": "payment",
        "amount": "247.50",
        "currency": "EUR",
        "payee_account": "ES9121000418450200051332",
        "payee_name": "<merchant or recipient>",
        "transaction_reference": "<your internal transaction id>"
      },
      "portrait_image": "<base64 JPEG of the user's KYC enrolment selfie, ≤ 1 MB — REQUIRED for SCA's inherence factor>"
    }

  Response: 201 Created with the hosted session URL. Push the URL to the user via deep-link / push notification / in-app sheet.

STEP 2 — User completes the biometric auth

  The user sees one prompt on their phone (or via the Didit SDK in your native app). Three things happen on the same screen:

  1. The amount + payee are displayed (dynamic linking — the user explicitly approves THIS amount to THIS payee for payments).
  2. Passive Liveness defeats screen replay, printed photo, mask, deepfake.
  3. Face Match 1:1 matches the new selfie against the enrolled KYC selfie.

  Device & IP Analysis runs server-side on the session. Sub-2-second median verdict.

STEP 3 — Read the signed webhook on the auth verdict

  Didit POSTs to your callback. Session statuses (Title Case With Spaces):

  Body (excerpted):
    {
      "session_id": "<uuid>",
      "vendor_data": "<your user id>",
      "status": "Approved",
      "liveness": { "status": "Approved" },
      "face": { "status": "Approved", "similarity_score": 0.94 },
      "ip_analysis": { "status": "Approved", "vpn_detected": false, "datacenter_ip": false },
      "metadata_echo": {
        "amount": "247.50",
        "payee_account": "ES9121000418450200051332"
      }
    }

  Status enum (exact case): Approved | Declined | In Review | Resubmitted | Expired | Not Finished | Kyc Expired | Abandoned.

  Verify the X-Signature-V2 header BEFORE reading the body — HMAC SHA-256 of the raw bytes with your webhook secret.

  For payments, verify that metadata_echo.amount and metadata_echo.payee_account match the values you passed in. If they do not, REJECT the payment — it's a dynamic-linking violation.

STEP 4 — Branch on verdict

  Approved   → unlock the action (login, payment, account change).
  In Review  → hold the action, route to manual review queue.
  Declined   → block, log the attempt, surface a friendly "try again" to the user.
  Resubmitted → the user re-submitted after a soft fail (poor lighting, occlusion); proceed if the latest status is Approved.

STEP 5 — Retrieve the full decision later

  GET https://verification.didit.me/v3/session/{sessionId}/decision/
  Headers:
    x-api-key: <your api key>

  Returns the full payload: liveness verdict (iBeta Level 1 anti-spoof certified), Face Match similarity score, device fingerprint, IP geolocation, VPN / proxy / datacenter flags, 200+ fraud-signal score, dynamic-linking echo, HMAC signature.

  Use this for the audit-trail surface a regulator examines on Strong Customer Authentication coverage.

STEP 6 — Step up on risk

  When Device & IP Analysis surfaces a high-risk signal (new device + high-value payment, VPN/proxy on a login, geolocation jump), your workflow can step up to:

  - A separate hardware-key challenge (FIDO2 / WebAuthn)
  - A trusted-beneficiary whitelist confirmation
  - A manual-review hold

  Encode the step-up policy in the no-code Workflow Builder — no redeploy required.

WEBHOOK EVENT NAMES
  - Sessions: status changes flow through the standard session webhook.
  Verify X-Signature-V2 on every payload.

CONSTRAINTS
  - Session statuses use Title Case With Spaces. Never UPPER_SNAKE_CASE on a session.
  - Dynamic linking is REQUIRED for payments — pass amount + payee in metadata, verify the echo on the webhook.
  - The enrolled selfie that backs every SCA is the one captured during the user's original KYC — no separate enrolment step.
  - PSD3 / PSR exemptions (low-value remote < EUR 30, contactless point-of-sale < EUR 50, recurring identical, trusted beneficiary, Transaction Risk Analysis tiers) are configured per workflow in the Business Console.
  - Default record retention is 5 years per the EU AML and payments rules.
