In today’s digital world, identity verification is more critical – and more challenging – than ever. In this video, Stefanos Heikki Panagiotou, Machine Learning Engineer at Quadible, presents SOUD (Seamless Onboarding of Users and Devices), a cutting-edge component of the TANGO project that redefines how we onboard users and devices securely and effortlessly. SOUD enables users to verify their identity remotely using only an NFC-enabled passport and an Android smartphone - no human verifier required. Built on privacy-by-design principles, the app uses advanced technologies like NFC chip reading, facial recognition, liveness detection, and SSI to transform physical ID documents into secure, verifiable digital credentials. Watch as Stefanos walks through a live demo of the onboarding process and discover how SOUD brings trust, control, and simplicity to digital identity verification in the TANGO platform.
