If we open any reference literature, we will see that the term “Verification” originated (from Latin verus – “true”). The broader meaning of this word means verification, confirmation, proof, etc. To understand what this looks like, we have to put it in terms of two comparative systems. One system is, as it were, a “standard”, the second system is supposed to be a “standard model”. When comparing (verifying) these two systems, there is an assessment of the coincidence (identity) of the systems.
For the first time, the term "Verification" was adopted in Vienna (Austria) at the very beginning of the 20th century, by the so-called Vienna Circle. The "Vienna Circle" was organized by teachers and students of the University of Vienna. Among its participants were well-known mathematicians, physicists, philosophers and economists (Hans Hahn, Otto Neurath, Richard von Mises, Philip Frank and others)
The scope of verification is very extensive and can affect a variety of areas of human activity:
In everyday life, verification of identity documents, account and profile is most common. The globalization of life processes, in the age of high technology, cannot bypass verification systems. We are “on the threshold” of the development of the digital economy and verification will become a common and simple procedure.
Verification** is an act or procedure for confirming truthful (real, authentic) data. Verification (English) - verification, control, certification, confirmation ...
One of the main tasks of verification is the fight against fraud. More and more often in the process of relations between participants in financial transactions there is no personal contact. The use of various technical means and gadgets for financial settlements will necessarily include a verification procedure for all participants in the procedure.
On the Internet, almost all sites of large companies and operators, where there are financial and responsible relationships, a verification procedure is always required. In special cases, multi-level verification is required:
Modern technical means of recognition are ahead of the level of human vision by hundreds or thousands of times. Where a person does not notice a fake, a special scanner will determine all the flaws and inaccuracies. An example is the “iDensic” (Sum & Substance) system, which, using the latest advances in neural networks, will be able to automatically detect all corrections and changes in documents. In addition to scanners, more complex systems connected to large databases (wanted base, stop lists, watch cards, etc.) can be used for verification and verification.
Documentary verification in the Russian Federation.
These processes are beginning to enter the daily life of Russians. On a daily basis, we may come across such verification and verification systems: BeepCar - security in the travel system (checking and, if necessary, blocking driver's licenses), “YouDrive” - checking drivers, “Gett Taxi” - checking drivers, “YouDo” - checking performers of work and services (nannies, nurses, repairmen, couriers, etc.)
Verification is your assistant against car theft, financial fraud, protecting your trust, and other areas of everyday life.
Verification in international projects in Europe, Asia and the USA.
Modern remote verification technologies have found the widest application in all developed countries. This market is occupied by large companies and is used by both state-owned companies and private individuals. This is not only an express check of documents, but the widest list of various services: (booking, registration of documents, online purchases and much more)
The global verification services market is valued at more than $10 billion. The Russian market has positive dynamics and amounts to -$100 ml. and is represented by such companies (Identity Exchange, CheckU and Sum&Substance).
Verification is one of the technologies of our future time!
In recent years, it has become fashionable for officials, athletes, actors and big businessmen to announce changes in their lives through social networks - on Twitter, for example. How does the audience know that the information comes from the person whose name it is signed? For this, there is such a thing as verification. It is used, of course, not only to confirm accounts on social networks, but in many areas of human activity and is of great importance for our lives. What is verification, how does it differ from, what is it for and what can be found out with its help?
Verification is the confirmation of the correctness of any action, object or event after verification. The term comes from two Latin words: verus ("true") and facere ("to do"). Literally we get - "make something true", "confirm". Translated from English, the concept of verification means both verification, and control, and attestation, and confirmation under oath.
Verification is used in various areas - in the production of goods and services, in medicine, on the Internet. Verification of the model makes it possible to create a high-quality prototype of the future product. In IT technologies, verification is used to confirm the identity of the user when working on the Web or using payment systems. With its help, fakes and defective products are detected, medical diagnoses are corrected, and they are registered in online services and social networks.
Verification has value both as a philosophical category and also in other areas of human knowledge, where true statements must be distinguished from false ones.
The principle of verification is as follows: the assumption must be confirmed by experience and not contradict known facts. The bank assumes that the owner of the plastic card is Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, since such data is written on the card inserted into the ATM. And this fact will be confirmed when Ivan Ivanovich correctly enters the pin code known only to him.
In this case, the assumption must, in principle, be knowable. For example, the hypothesis that there are invisible people around us that we cannot detect, because they are invisible, cannot be verified, it is in principle unrecognizable in the current state of science. Also, statements like “Masha loves Vasya” are not verified, since an outsider does not have the opportunity to “get into the soul” of Masha, and verification is an objective category. Another thing is the phrase “Masha claims that she loves Vasya” - we can say for sure whether Masha spoke about love or not.
The main goal of verification is to confirm that the final result corresponds to the theoretical assumption or task. If a particular product was developed, its properties must comply with the technical requirements for such products or the terms of reference for development.
If it was required to confirm the identity of the user of a particular banking product, the entered password must match the one originally entered into the system by the client or the bank itself. If a hypothesis is put forward about any phenomenon in nature or human activity, it should at least not contradict the available scientific facts.
The terms are similar to each other, sometimes they are even confused. The reason is that an ordinary person most often uses verification and validation to confirm the identity of a user in information networks and payment systems. In this case, the difference is really small - during verification, you get the opportunity to use the services (admission to them), and during validation, you get more rights when using services (for example, additional functions become available in the Internet wallet - withdrawal of more funds, transfers to the card etc.). But in the sphere of production, in medicine and in other areas, there is a fundamental difference between these two concepts.
| Verification | Validation | |
| What it is | Compliance of the product, model or concept with the stated requirements. We have collected the car. It fully complies with the terms of reference and rides. Verification passed. | Applicability of the created model, product or concept in practice in specific conditions. We have collected the car. It matches the specification. But it doesn't drive on ice. Validation failed. |
| For whom does it matter | For the manufacturer, author | For the consumer, audience |
| Who conducts | Authors, producers, developers | testers, consumers |
| Mandatory use | Mandatory (the car must be made according to the terms of reference and must drive) | Optional (if we know that the car is driving, we can try to run it on ice, or we can predict without testing that a refinement is needed in the form of installing spiked rubber for a successful trip). |
| Assessment type | Objective (does the product / model meet the standards) | Subjective (is the product / model suitable for use in specific conditions) |
In different areas, verification is implemented in different ways.
When the product is released, it must be tested for compliance with the required parameters, standards, norms and rules. Verification is carried out either by the technical control department (QCD), or by employees who have been delegated such duties.
The product is checked for compliance with state or industry standards, specifications, design, regulatory documentation.
For example, an electric kettle is produced at the factory. Employees of the quality control department check the physical parameters of the product, completeness, compliance with electrical safety requirements and technical characteristics (correspondence of power consumption to the parameters specified in the documents) with the project documentation, and so on. Most often, not the entire batch of goods is subjected to verification, but several copies to choose from. The result is fixed by a registration entry in a special journal. This is ideal. In practice, in small manufacturing companies, the verification procedure can be simplified to a visual inspection.
Verification in production also includes checking for compliance of the company's processes with the quality management system (ISO standards). Here, not only finished products are checked, but also production processes - how much their technological and environmental parameters comply with international standards for such procedures. If they do not fully comply, then the final product receives a lower rating and does not pass verification.
There are two areas of verification in this area. The first intersects with production testing. When a new medicinal product is released, the manufacturer at the output checks whether its chemical composition and formula correspond to those that were transferred to the enterprise in the terms of reference.
The second direction is the verification of the diagnosis. It is carried out if the treatment does not give the desired result. If the course was prescribed by a therapist or other doctor, the head of the department, the head physician of the medical institution or a council of doctors can verify the diagnosis. Both documentary sources (results of analyzes and studies) and the actions and prescriptions of the therapist are checked - whether they correspond to those that should be carried out with the disease indicated in the diagnosis. If necessary, new, additional studies are assigned. For example, histological verification is a confirmation of the existence of a tumor by examining body tissues taken from a patient.
There are also several directions here.
This is, in fact, the same verification of users. You confirm that you are the owner of the card inserted into the ATM or payment terminal. In the case of payment systems (, and others), you validate your wallet by sending scans of documents proving your identity to the administration of the payment system and, depending on the package of documents, gaining access to various functions of the wallet, and then verify yourself as the owner with a password each time you log in .
A similar procedure is if you decide to link the card to the wallet in the payment system. Here you verify yourself as the owner of the card and associate the card with the wallet.
In philosophy, verification is a controversial concept around which many copies have been broken. As a general rule, this term is understood as the elucidation of the truth of theoretical propositions with the help of their practical verification. As already mentioned in the chapter “What is the principle of verification”, the main criterion is cognizability, compliance with modern scientific ideas about the world. When we say: "People do not fly like birds" - this is a true, verified statement, since the laws of physics do not allow a person to fly like birds. But the statement “An airplane cannot fly at a speed of 10,000 km/h” will not be true, since the development of technology can solve this problem, there are no objective obstacles to this.
These are the simplest examples, but in fact, whole philosophical concepts are being verified that explain the behavior of the broad masses of people, the origin of life on earth, and so on. The catch is that such a verification is rational, it does not take into account metaphysical concepts. For example, religions in this perspective always turn out to be unverified, which is somewhat offensive for followers of spiritual teachings. Therefore, along with the principle of verification, the principle of falsification (refutability) was introduced into philosophy. Can you disprove the existence of God? Hardly. This means that this category gets the right to exist along with rational concepts.
Verification in science involves finding out how the put forward hypothesis corresponds to the practical result obtained.
What does it mean "payment did not pass the verification stage"?
This is the so-called "error 11020". Most often it occurs when a purchase in an online store is paid for with a bank card. Banks name two reasons for the occurrence of such an error:
The problem is solved by resending the payment at a later time or by calling the support service.
When turned on, the computer prompts you to verify files. What is this procedure and why is it needed?
File verification is one of the ways to ensure security in operating systems. Often, viruses replace real files with others - with a different size and purpose, but with the same name. Checking the file system allows you to detect such pseudo-files and remove them. This kind of verification is recommended if you often work on unfamiliar networks, use other people's files, or have problems with antivirus software.
Can the principle of verification be used to detect lies in everyday communication?
There is extensive literature on this topic, for example, "5 principles for detecting lies" by Ilya Anishchenko, "Psychology of lies" by Paul Ekman, "Detection of lies and deceit" and "Lies: three ways to detect" by Aldert Fry, "I see what you are thinking about » Joe Navarro and many others. They contain a lot of interesting advice, but there are no reliable methods that allow you to reliably distinguish truth from lies.
The principle of verification is that a true statement must be confirmed by practice, or at least not contradict known facts. But in everyday life it is very difficult to compare the words of a person with all known facts, very few people are capable of this, and mainly in some narrow field of knowledge. It is difficult to detect fraud "on the fly" even for trained specialists. This applies to both instrumental technologies (“lie detector”), and psychological (“when a person lies, he looks to the left and up”) or logical (“the opponent is sweating, which means he is tense, and all because he is lying”) methods. The percentage of errors and unaccounted for accidents is too high. Among them are attributing one's own emotions and motives to other people, underestimating individual psychological characteristics, the influence of extraneous factors (danger, noise, light exposure, stress, etc.), suggesting an answer on your part, assessing the interlocutor's motives on a single basis, and others.
Apparent or real anonymity on the Internet is a factor for which many users love the World Wide Web, and look for all sorts of ways to maintain and maintain incognito (for various reasons).

Following encyclopedic or dictionary definitions, we can say that verification is a confirmation of the reality and truth of an individual or groups of individuals (for example, in groups of organizations in social networks, performing any banking transactions, etc.).
This term comes from the Latin word veritas - truth, literally translated as "to make true", that is, to confirm.
Thus, the verification process is a direct process of removing incognito from a person or organization.
However, not only specific people or organizations are subject to verification. The term is applicable to various other areas as well.
Confirming a phone number or email address by sending a certain code or link to it is also verification, but not of a person, but of data.
Verification of the truth, in fact, can require any information, any data, any person or organization. In some areas it is mandatory, in others it is desirable, in others it is optional, and so on. In certain cases, it can provide certain bonuses or opportunities.
This concept is used in many areas, but the most widespread is in the financial sector and on the Internet.
In the financial sector, it is most necessary because it is in it that the greatest number of fraudulent activities occur, and it is always carried out in order to avoid fraud.
Identity verification is actively used in the legal and financial sphere to prevent fraud.
Phone number verification is required when registering for, applying for credit, debit or even discount cards.
In almost all areas that are or could potentially be related to cash flow, you may need verification.
In addition, this term is also used in production (light, food or any other industry). In this case, it is used in the meaning of "quality check". And it is carried out in order to provide the end consumer with the highest quality product. That is, in fact, here this word refers to quality control.
The word is also used in medicine. In this area, it is used in the context of evidence of the effectiveness of a method.
The term "verification" is used in the field of science and is defined as a way to establish the truth or falsity of certain theoretical data. In scientific work, the verification of certain knowledge is carried out by comparing the available theoretical information with the parameters obtained in practice, which are reference and valid.
In the field of production of various goods, the verification procedure is used to identify the conformity of the received product with certain requirements, which are considered fundamental and are fixed in certain documents, specifications or regulations.
The information technology verification procedure is used to verify user-specified information. As a rule, the transaction is carried out after the user indicates important data, for example, when registering remotely in the payment system or when applying for remote work, when the user is required to provide electronic copies of these documents. Verification helps protect large Internet resources from fraudulent activities that can jeopardize the security of information.
During the verification process, the personnel who checks the registration data of users compares the data entered by the user with the available documents. If necessary, the specified information can be verified by a separate service working with the company.
The verification procedure can be automatic. For example, when registering on a particular resource, a user can be sent a message to the specified email box. By clicking on the automatically generated link, the visitor gets access to the resource, confirming that the e-mail is real. Verification can also be systems for sending SMS messages with a code automatically generated by the system, which must be entered in a special form. The operation allows you to determine whether the given phone number is in the user and whether it was specified correctly.
Verification is also used in the operation of the software. For example, programs for recording data on a storage medium have the option of checking the quality of the recorded material and comparing it with the original data stored on a computer. If violations are detected, the program will check the damaged disk and give a request to re-write it or issue a message about the need to install another storage medium.
Any site that appears on the Internet undergoes a series of checks: for viruses, prohibited material, spam, plagiarism, etc. All this can be summed up in one word - verification. What is it in simple words and why is it needed, we will talk in this article.
Verification - derived from the Latin words, translated as "to confirm the truth of something." If the translation is not literal, then we can say that to verify any object, whether it be equipment, a website, or even text, it means to perform a verification.
Now we are talking about what validation and verification are in simple words and how they differ from each other. In fact, both concepts are similar in meaning, since validation is also a test, but only according to the standards that the scope of the manufactured product requires.
To make it easier to understand, let's explain everything with an example. Let's say you decide to create a website yourself from scratch according to a pre-designed layout. You have a clear idea of how the site will look like, and set for yourself a number of clear requirements that you need to fulfill for this.
So, while undergoing verification, the main task of the verification will be to make sure that the product, in this case the site, meets all the requirements that were originally set. And in the case of validation, the check will be based on common standards for this product.
Account verification, especially in social networks. networks - a check that everyone who visited the personal page of a celebrity saw. Confirming the identity of a famous person is marked with a checkmark, which means that this person really comes from this account and writes various information on his wall.
An ordinary person does not need to verify a personal page. After all, there will not be any information important for the general public. But, if desired, this can be done by performing special settings.
Data verification is something that each of us has encountered. Based on this concept, one can already assume or guess that this is a verification of the data of a person, a website, a product - it doesn’t matter.
When making any financial transaction, registering on a website or purchasing equipment, they always ask for identity documents. Even to order SEO promotion of a site in the top 10 on our site, you need to fill out a special application form and confirm your consent to the processing of the customer's personal data.
All this is done in order to avoid fraud on the Internet. After all, as they say, who, why comes. There are many people who pursue the goal of somehow harming the site in this case, introducing a virus there. There are those who even create accounts with non-existent data in order to distribute prohibited products or promote them.
To explain what certification is for, you need to understand in which subject area the product is being certified. If we are talking about the verification of a site or an online store, then in this case, a stage-by-stage audit of the site will be carried out using all the requirements that the customer has compiled.
Verification of buildings, transport, equipment for the manufacture of products - all this is verified by a special commission - a group of specialists who, based on the regulations. General provisions and laws on manufacturing and, accordingly, the requirements of the designers themselves, make a conclusion - whether the product meets all of the above and whether it is ready for use.
If you read what we talked about earlier, there will already be an answer for what verification is needed. Of course, in order to know both the user and the creator of the product that the product is not fake and fully complies with the standards.
And, of course, the verification mark gives potential demand, since the products are of high quality and approved by all authorities. In addition to goods, services can also be verified. Therefore, if a company with such a sign is promoting the site to the top of Yandex, their price will be much higher.
The verification code is very common. Surely, many are familiar with the situation when, when confirming a phone number or a bank card, you need to send a confirmation code that will be sent by SMS if you are the owner. So this is the verification code.
If there is a failure in the system and something went wrong, then you are given the opportunity to receive the code again or not complete the operation at all. Because the app won't let you do it. This is also a kind of confirmation of the user's data, or rather, his resources, from which he pays for purchases or registers on sites.
To pass verification means to receive a sign in the authenticity of the product. Verification is carried out by special companies, where there are specialists who not only know how to promote the site on their own, but also clearly understand the parameters and requirements that need to be evaluated in this product.
Of course, this procedure is paid and applications for verification, especially for legal entities, that is, firms, must be submitted in advance and wait for a response. As a rule, not everyone undertakes to verify a product of an unknown brand and take responsibility for its quality.
Verification, or rather its passage, is a very complex procedure that is performed by more than one person, especially when it comes to a large-scale project and takes a lot of time. But if everything goes well and the company receives a verification mark, this will affect their profits and promotion in the future.
