# Introduction

The **by Client** is the IDCloud platform's integration channel that offers total flexibility for identity validation. It is designed for direct integration with the client's back-end, allowing complete control over the user experience (UX). The user interface (front-end) can be implemented in two ways:

* **Proprietary Front-end**: Respecting the "Capture Standard" expected by the platform.
* **SDKs**: Using the SDKs provided by IDCloud.

This channel allows the client to combine and use the following platform capabilities, according to their needs:

* Liveness Detection,
* Identity Verification,
* Behavior Alert,
* Risk Score,
* Document Capture and Reuse,
* Return of the Serpro Similarity Score.
