ZOLOZ NFC Reader uses the NFC function of mobile devices to decode ID chips, read the encrypted information contained in these ID chips, so as to conveniently and efficiently extract ID information.

It is applicable for a variety of scenarios such as remote identity authentication, automatic data entry, and more; effectively improving overall data processing efficiency, reducing manpower costs as well as prevent attacks i.e. imitation ID images. With NFC Reader, business security and risk control capabilities are greatly enhanced.

The UI for NFC Reader is in the following figure:

Use flow

The use flow of NFC Reader is shown below:

1. Pass in key fields
   NFC chip information reading relies on three key mandatory fields: ID number, date of birth and expiration date, which customers need to pass in in advance.
   The following methods are supported:

• If the customer has already stored these key fields locally, call the ZOLOZ NFC Reader initialize API to pass them in directly.

• If the customer has not stored these key fields before: please call the ZOLOZ NFC Reader initialize API and scan the ID through the local SDK OCR. The SDK will automatically scan the ID image and detect the three default fields.

2. Read ID information
   Place ID card chip against the NFC area on the back of the mobile device for reading. Keep the ID card stable during the reading process until the page shows that the reading has completed successfully.
3. NFC Reader result
   Obtain the ID information reading result through the checkresult interface.

Use limitations

• Mobile devices will need to support the NFC function and have it enabled to authorize NFC Reader.
• Android and iOS systems must meet the minimum version requirements.
