Trusona

Trusona is a Scottsdale, Arizona identity impersonation detection company founded in 2015 by fraud-prevention expert Ori Eisen, funded by Kleiner Perkins and advised by Frank Abagnale. Its ATO Protect suite verifies that the person behind a help-desk call, account-recovery request, MFA reset, HR onboarding or wire approval is really who they claim to be — checking a government-issued ID against authoritative sources such as State DMVs over the AAMVA network and layering SIM-swap/port-out detection, patented man-in-the-middle detection (US Patent 10,601,859) and anti-replay technology, deliberately without a liveness selfie. Trusona publishes two OpenAPI 3.1 contracts at authcloud.trusona.net — the Verification API (v2.2.0) and the Driver License Verification API (v1.0.0) — a legacy AAMVA ID Proofing v2 REST surface, an Apache-2.0 Claude Agent Skill, an llms.txt, and server/mobile SDKs for Java, Ruby, JavaScript, .NET, C, iOS and Android.

Trusona publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Devices API, Documents API, Encrypted Verifications API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Authentication, Identity, Identity Verification, and Fraud Prevention.

The Trusona catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Trusona’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, sandbox, and 26 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 32.9 — up to +13.4 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 26.3 — up to +9.6 composite points
Contract Quality scores 63.7 — up to +9.1 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/trusona/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/trusona to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	standard	39.2	-	1
Biometrics Testing (biometric recognition vendors, identity verification depth)	standard	39.2	-	1
ServiceNow Store (partner apps + ServiceNow Certified App)	standard	39.2	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
