# ID Fraud Shield
VIDA Liveness SDK has a bundle package with VIDA ID Fraud Shield with the objective to enhance fraud detection capabilities by leveraging biometric liveness checks alongside comprehensive fraud risk assessment. For more detailed information of ID Fraud Shield, you can refer to this page [**ID Fraud Shield**](/identity-stack/verify/id-fraud-shield-sdk.md) .
## ID Fraud Shield Integration and Configuration in VIDA Liveness SDK
The VIDA Liveness SDK is bundled with ID Fraud Shield, allowing clients to utilize ID fraud risk detection without requiring a separate SDK integration.
### 1. Integration Overview
ID Fraud Shield is natively integrated into the VIDA Liveness SDK. Clients only need to integrate the Liveness SDK once to access both liveness detection and ID Fraud Shield capabilities.

**Providing a user identifier is optional.**
ID Fraud Shield can bind its analysis to a user identifier, so fraud rules are applied per user and not per device alone.
If you do not provide one, the SDK uses a default value. The flow still runs without an error.
**Recommended:** provide your own user identifier so fraud signals can be tracked per user. The parameter name differs by SDK — see the integration guide for the platform you are using.

UserID Parameter
{% code expandable="true" %}
```java
VidaSDK.init({
// other params
userInfo: {
id: "your-user-id"
}
})
```
{% endcode %}
### 2. Configuration
The **ID Fraud Shield** feature is configured and managed within the **VIDA backend service**. The configuration determines how the ID Fraud Shield analysis is applied during the liveness verification process.
These configuration parameters are maintained and applied by VIDA within the backend system, ensuring consistent enforcement of the defined fraud risk policies during transaction processing.
Currently, configuration changes are **handled internally by VIDA** and applied at the backend service level.
### 3. Available Configuration Options
