Explanation

In Identity Management (IdM), the verification stage is performed before creation of the identity, which is the process of establishing and assigning a unique and persistent identifier to a subject, such as a person, a device, or an application, that wants to access a system or a resource. The verification stage is the process of confirming the validity and accuracy of the attributes and credentials of the subject, such as the name, the address, the e-mail, the password, or the biometrics, that are provided during the registration or enrollment stage. The verification stage ensures that the subject is who they claim to be, and that they are authorized and eligible to obtain an identity. The verification stage may involve various methods, such as checking the subject's identity documents, contacting the subject's references, or performing a background check. The verification stage is different from the authentication stage, which is performed as part of system sign-on, and which is the process of verifying the identity of the subject that wants to access a system or a resource, by comparing the credentials provided by the subject with the credentials stored in the system.
