Device & IP analysis report

Overview

Device & IP analysis profiles every session by IP geolocation, device fingerprint, browser/OS, and network type. Geolocation, network-risk enrichment, device matching, and remote device integrity checks run asynchronously while the user completes verification. Device and IP observations remain available while analysis is pending; geolocation fields can be empty until results arrive, or when the address is not public. If your workflow uses these checks to determine the outcome or choose a subsequent step, the session remains In Progress until the required results are available. If required analysis remains unavailable after bounded retries, the session moves to In Review for a manual decision. Optional enrichment failures do not prevent completion, and manual decisions remain authoritative. It produces:

An IP geolocation block (country, state, city, latitude/longitude, time zone) derived from the public IP.
Network-risk flags — is_vpn_or_tor and is_data_center — to detect masking attempts (VPN, Tor exit nodes, hosting providers, anonymisers).
Cross-document distance calculations — straight-line km between the IP location, the ID document’s location, and the proof-of-address document’s location.
Cross-session matches — when the same IP address or device identity appears across sessions belonging to different users (grouped by vendor_data).
Device fingerprint recovery — a high-confidence recovery signal that links sessions even after the user clears storage, switches incognito modes, or reinstalls the app.

Where it appears in API responses

The decision endpoint returns Device & IP analysis as the plural array ip_analyses[] in GET /v3/session/{sessionId}/decision/. Entries are deduplicated Location observations keyed on (node_id, ip_address, device_fingerprint) — a single node can yield multiple entries when the user’s IP or device changes mid-session.

GET /v3/session/{sessionId}/decision/
  ──▶ { "ip_analyses": [ { status, node_id, ip_address, ip, id_document, poa_document, warnings, matches, … }, … ] }

The shape below mirrors the canonical schema — see Data models.

Match semantics

match_source tells you how the match was reached, and confidence scores how likely it is to be wrong (confidence = 1 - P(false positive)):

`match_source`	Meaning	`confidence`	`match_mode`
`ip_address`	Shared IP — network co-location, never a device-identity claim.	`0.0`	`co_occurrence`
`persistent_id`	Exact stored persistent device identifier.	`1.0`	`deterministic`
`legacy_fp`	Legacy `didit-fp-*` device-fingerprint hash.	`0.5`	`probabilistic`
`recovered_high`	High-confidence fuzzy fingerprint-recovery hit after strict hard gates.	`1.0` when hardware-rooted, otherwise `< 1.0`, boosted when TLS JA4 and IP country independently agree	`deterministic` or `probabilistic`

Lower-confidence recovery candidates surface as risk warnings only — never in matches[]. IP matches and device matches are capped at 5 each, so the array holds at most 10 entries.

Status values

Statuses are feature-level FeatureStatusChoices values. Each fired warning maps to the action configured for it on the workflow node; the strongest action wins.

Value	Meaning
`Not Finished`	The IP analysis node has not completed for this session (default).
`Approved`	No warning fired, or every fired warning is configured to No action.
`In Review`	At least one fired warning is configured to Review (see warnings).
`Declined`	A blocklist warning fired (`IP_ADDRESS_IN_BLOCKLIST` or `DEVICE_FINGERPRINT_IN_BLOCKLIST` — always decline), or a configurable warning is set to Decline for your workflow.
`Resub Requested`	A reviewer requested resubmission of this step.

Custom status rules configured on the IP analysis node can further adjust the resulting status.

VPN, proxy, and Tor detection

is_vpn_or_tor and is_data_center are independent boolean flags returned for every session. When is_vpn_or_tor is true, Didit also emits the PRIVATE_NETWORK_DETECTED warning so your team can act on it via workflow configuration. Datacenter-only traffic (without VPN/Tor) sets is_data_center=true but does not auto-warn — use this as an additional signal in your own scoring.
