Financial Intelligence Engine:Hong Kong Document SecurityFeature Upgrade Notification - May 31, 2024

Last Updated:Jun 23, 2026

ZOLOZ will upgrade the Hong Kong Document SecurityFeature model to use an optimal global model for decision-making, effective May 31, 2024.

The Hong Kong Document SecurityFeature model will be upgraded, effective May 31, 2024.

Background of the Change: ZOLOZ's SecurityFeature model undergoes continuous upgrades. Starting May 31, 2024, the optimal global model will be used for decision-making. The global model holistically analyzes all security features of Hong Kong ID cards, without making pass/fail judgments on every single feature separately.

Content of the Change: Previously, in the checkresult API of RealID, securityFeaturesResult returned granular scores for multiple sub-models, including LASER_IMAGE_1_SCORE, HOLOGRAM_SCORE, STEREO_LASER_PORTRAIT_SCORE, and LASER_IMAGE_2_SCORE. These sub-models will no longer be updated and will cease to affect SecurityFeature anti-counterfeiting results. Starting May 31, 2024, ZOLOZ will stop maintaining scores, thresholds, and outcomes for these sub-models. Fixed values and results (marked as "pass") will be returned for these sub-model parameters. These values no longer carry business significance and can be disregarded.

Impact of the Change: Because the global model is already used for decision-making, the sub-models have had minimal influence on algorithm performance. This change will not affect anti-counterfeiting efficacy for Hong Kong ID cards. All existing API keys will be retained, causing no compatibility issues.

Effective Date: This change takes effect on May 31, 2024.
