iovation

iovation is a device-intelligence and online fraud-prevention service acquired by TransUnion in 2018 and now delivered as TransUnion TruValidate Device Risk (the SDK was formerly branded "FraudForce"). It fingerprints web and mobile devices into an encrypted "blackbox," evaluates it against a shared reputation database of billions of devices plus configurable rulesets, and returns a transaction risk assessment. Device data is collected client-side with first-party JavaScript and native iOS/Android SDKs; server-side integration is a SOAP CheckTransactionDetails call over HTTPS. iovation is used for account takeover, new-account fraud, payment fraud, and bot detection.

iovation is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Fraud Prevention, Device Intelligence, and Device Fingerprinting.

iovation’s developer surface includes documentation and 7 more developer resources.
