Frequently Asked
Questions

Assurique develops on-premise identity verification software for the Algerian market. We offer three independently deployable products: Document Reader — a standalone document OCR API; Chip Reader — a standalone NFC chip verification API with Android SDK; and eKYC — the full platform combining document verification, NFC chip reading, liveness detection, face matching, a multi-factor risk engine, and an operator dashboard. Each product can be used standalone or as part of the full eKYC platform.

We support the Algerian national ID card (CNIBE) with OCR, including native Arabic and French text extraction. Algerian ePassports are verified today via NFC chip reading with our Chip Reader (ICAO-standard electronic travel documents). Passport photo OCR and driving licence support are on our roadmap and in active development. Additional document types and countries are planned.

eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) replaces manual identity verification — paper forms, branch visits, and human review — with an automated digital process. Where traditional KYC can take days and requires physical presence, eKYC completes in under 8 seconds on a customer's phone. The result is the same verified identity data, without the operational cost or friction.

Under Regulation 24-64 (digital banking), Algerian banks must verify customer identities for remote account opening. With Assurique, a customer scans their national ID card or taps it via NFC, completes a liveness check, and the bank receives a verification decision with risk score — all in under 8 seconds, fully compliant with Law 05-01 (AML/KYC) and Law 18-07 (data protection).

Yes. Assurique's 100% on-premise architecture is specifically designed to satisfy Algerian regulations: Law 18-07 (personal data protection), Regulation 24-64 (digital banking), Instruction 06-2025 (PSP), and Law 05-01 (AML/KYC). All biometric data, document images, and personal information stay on your own servers — no cross-border transfers, no third-party cloud access.

Assurique is purpose-built for the Algerian national biometric ID card — our AI models are trained specifically on this document for maximum accuracy. Algerian ePassports are verified through NFC chip reading today. Passport photo OCR and driving licence support are on our roadmap and in active development. The Chip Reader supports ICAO-standard electronic travel documents.

Your system initiates a verification and launches the Assurique SDK on the customer's phone. The SDK guides them through document capture (or NFC tap) and a liveness check. Our AI processes everything automatically — authenticity detection, data extraction, face matching, and risk scoring. The full pipeline completes in under 8 seconds, then a signed notification delivers the decision instantly to your system.

eKYC eliminates the manual steps that slow onboarding: branch visits, paper forms, manual data entry, and back-office review queues. With Assurique, the majority of verifications are approved automatically in under 8 seconds. Only borderline cases go to an operator for review. The result: faster customer acquisition, lower cost per verification, and 24/7 availability — no branch hours required.

Yes. Assurique's platform is modular. If you only need OCR document extraction, you can deploy Document Reader standalone. If you only need NFC chip verification, Chip Reader is independently deployable. The full Assurique Identity Verification platform combines all three modules plus the built-in risk engine. You can start with one module and expand when ready.

All Assurique products are on-premise software deployed entirely on your own infrastructure. There is no cloud component, no SaaS dependency, and no data ever leaves your environment. Once deployed, the system runs fully offline — no outbound network connections, no telemetry, no usage data sent to Assurique.

Products are delivered as Docker images along with a license file, documentation, and integration guides. Deployment consists of three steps: place your license file, configure environment variables, and run docker compose up. The eKYC platform runs as 7 containers: API (FastAPI), Worker (Celery GPU), scheduler, PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO (storage), and the operator Dashboard (React).

No. Once deployed, all products run fully offline with no outbound network connections. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no usage data sent to Assurique. This is a core design requirement to satisfy Algerian data sovereignty regulations — during operation, no external calls are made.

Currently we offer an Android SDK only. iOS support is on our roadmap. If iOS is a priority for your project, contact us to discuss timelines.

You do. Since all software runs on your infrastructure, you are the sole data controller as defined by Algerian Law 18-07. Assurique never accesses, processes, or stores any of your verification data. Retention policies, access controls, and encryption of data at rest are fully configurable by you.

Each product is licensed per machine with a cryptographic license file signed with RSA-4096 and bound to your specific server hardware. The license specifies the product, authorized machine, worker concurrency limits, and expiration date. Agreements are structured as annual or multi-year. Contact us for pricing based on your deployment scale and product selection.

Yes. Start with our free demo applications (see Demo Applications above) for an initial evaluation. For a deeper technical evaluation, we can arrange a proof-of-concept deployment on your own infrastructure for qualified organizations. Contact us to discuss your requirements and timeline.
