Formerly known as IDScience, IDS-Solutions continues to lead the industry in forensic identity authentication — combining science, engineering, and AI to secure trust worldwide.
At IDS-Solutions, we transform how organizations verify and protect identity. Combining forensic science, engineered hardware, and AI innovation, we deliver technology that ensures trust, accuracy, and compliance in every transaction.
Our mission is to secure trust in every identity transaction. Through forensic science, engineered hardware, and AI, we empower organizations to expose counterfeit documents and validate identities in real time.
Our mission is to ensure trust and security in every identity verification process — empowering industries with forensic-grade technology that exposes counterfeit documents and validates identities in real time.
We combine forensic science, engineered hardware, and emerging AI research to deliver the most reliable identity authentication ecosystem in the market.
In the fall of 2009, Brandon Currul partnered with MIT’s Dr. Ted Kuklinski to create the world’s first commercial on-premise forensic ID authentication software.
Using dual-side image capture under three light sources and a risk-weighted algorithm of 30+ forensic tests, Advanced ID Detection was born in Medway, MA — setting a new benchmark for document security.
By 2012, the team expanded the platform through a collaboration with Animetrics (NH), pioneering facial-match technology that enabled live-image comparison — now a standard across the industry.
That same year, they launched the first digital ID guide for iPhone and co-founded MIDENT with the founders of Drizly, enabling the first legal mobile ID authentication for alcohol delivery in the U.S.
In 2015, Currul co-founded Confirm.io, securing a $4 million seed round and acquiring Advanced ID Detection. The team advanced mobile identity verification with liveness detection and powered onboarding for major platforms like DoorDash and other gig-economy pioneers.
Facebook’s acquisition of Confirm.io in 2018 brought these innovations to a global scale, revolutionizing how digital platforms verified identity. Yet, it left a gap for enterprise and on-premise customers — leading Currul to establish IDScience to continue serving regulated markets directly.
In 2024, IDS Holdings united this legacy into one integrated ecosystem:
IDS-Solutions – On-premise verification software
VerexID – Next-generation hardware and readers
AIID – Cloud-based forensic intelligence platform
IDS Holdings is redefining the future of identity with AI-driven, frictionless "yes-or-no" authentication — carrying forward a 15-year legacy of world-first innovation.
Our leadership team brings together decades of experience across engineering, artificial intelligence, and design — united by a shared mission to redefine identity security.
