As Australia advances into a secure digital future, the focus isn’t just on what digital identity is—but how identity is proven online. Australia’s Digital Identity Program is streamlining online verification to be more secure, user-friendly, and privacy-centric. And at the heart of this evolution is Livesign, which empowers users to prove who they are online—without having to create or maintain a digital identity profile.
Rethinking Digital Identity: Proof Over Profile
Digital identity should be how someone proves their identity online—not a profile or account they need to maintain. Instead of requiring individuals to create yet another digital persona or store personal data long-term, Livesign enables real-time, one-time verification tied to official government-issued identification.
Whether you’re signing a legal document, completing a financial transaction, or verifying your identity remotely, Livesign ensures it’s you—not someone pretending to be you—by biometrically binding your signature to your ID at the precise moment of signing.
This distinction is vital: Livesign is not about creating an ongoing digital footprint. It's about confirming a person’s identity at a critical point in time, with the highest levels of assurance and the least friction.
Simplifying Secure Verification for the Legal, Financial, and Property Sectors
In fields where trust and compliance are paramount, traditional verification is cumbersome and outdated. Physical documents can be lost or faked. Face-to-face ID checks create delays. And requiring customers to build digital identities across platforms only increases exposure and risk.
Livesign replaces all that with:
- Instant biometric verification
- Secure digital signing
- No digital identity account needed
- One-time, purpose-specific authentication
This approach allows professionals to validate clients quickly, securely, and in compliance with laws like AML, KYC, and VOI/VOS obligations.
Privacy and Security Without a Digital Identity Footprint
While many digital ID systems store or build ongoing user profiles, Livesign prioritises privacy-first verification. Each session is designed to collect only what is necessary, automatically redact personally identifiable information (PII) where appropriate, and comply with global privacy standards like ISO 27001.
The user doesn’t need to create an account or upload documents repeatedly. Instead, their identity is verified based on biometric confirmation of their government-issued ID—performed securely, one transaction at a time.
Compliant with Australia's Digital Identity Framework
Livesign aligns with the Australian Government Digital ID Framework, but approaches identity differently. Where some systems seek to centralise digital IDs, Livesign adheres to the same privacy, security, and consent standards—while providing a minimalist, transaction-based identity solution.
This design ensures that user data isn’t held beyond what is necessary for a single transaction, reducing risk while still offering bank-grade authentication.
Verification Without the Burden of Identity Management
By extracting encrypted data directly from an NFC chip in a government-issued ePassport, confirming liveness via selfie, checking details against the Document Verification Service (DVS), and running spoof detection algorithms, Livesign achieves maximum trust—without requiring users to maintain a profile or ongoing digital identity.
You don’t need to “log in” to Livesign to prove who you are. You simply use what you already have—your official ID and your face—to get verified, then move on.
Why This Matters for Real-World Security
From high-value contracts to online banking, digital identity verification needs to be frictionless, fraud-proof, and private. Platforms that collect more data than necessary, or require ongoing identity management, increase the attack surface.
Livesign helps organisations:
- Prevent fraud at the point of signing
- Avoid data retention liabilities
- Comply with Australia’s digital and privacy regulations
- Ensure one-time, verified transactions that are traceable, not trackable
This keeps your business secure—without compromising your customers' privacy.
Embrace the Future of Identity—Without the Baggage
As digital wallets, online services, and remote transactions grow, the need for secure, compliant, and user-friendly verification becomes more urgent. But the future isn’t more profiles or accounts—it’s smarter, transactional identity proofing that respects privacy.
Livesign makes this future possible—right now. No logins. No permanent ID. Just secure, real-time verification when and where it’s needed.
