IDN

Intellicheck, Inc.

A maker of identity-verification software that checks driver's licenses and other government IDs in real time, used by retailers, banks, and government agencies to catch fake, altered, or expired documents. Founded in 1994 and now based in Melville, New York, the company was long known as Intellicheck Mobilisa before renaming itself Intellicheck in 2017 to sharpen its focus on authentication and threat detection. The name itself is shorthand for "intelligently checking" IDs, and its technology reads the barcode on the back of a license — a counter to the "Trojan Horse" trick of fraudsters who craft scannable but fake IDs that fool simple readers.
