What is Trusty
Trusty.sh is an identity verification (KYC) platform as a service.
What it does
Trusty verifies your users' identity in three steps:
- Document capture — the user photographs their passport, ID card, or driver's license
- Liveness check — a guided selfie video confirms a real person is present
- Face matching — the selfie face is compared with the document photo
The result reaches your backend via a signed webhook: approved or rejected, with all data extracted from the document.
What it solves
- KYC onboarding without building computer vision infrastructure
- Fraud detection — automatic screen recapture, printed photos, blur detection
- Regulatory compliance with retained and auditable evidence
- Simple integration — an iframe or web component, a webhook
Getting started
You need two credentials that Trusty provides when setting up your account:
public_token— to embed the widget on your site (TR_PUB_xxx)webhook_secret— to verify webhook signatures and use the lookup API (TR_WHS_xxx)
With those you can integrate in 3 steps. See Quick Start.
