Iris ID has announced that its FacePAD algorithm version 2.4.2 has successfully cleared the Level 1 iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) compliance tested with Iris ID iBAR 600E.
The company says that the certification underscores its commitment to delivering solutions with the highest standards of biometric security, accuracy and reliability.
Conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance, a third-party accredited biometric testing laboratory, the PAD test evaluates a product’s resilience against presentation attacks – commonly known as “spoofing.”
Passing the Level 1 PAD assessment verifies that Iris ID’s FacePAD algorithm is effective at distinguishing between genuine biometrics of a live person and fraudulent attempts using fakes such as photos, videos or masks.
The test method used applied one real subject presentation that alternated with three artefact presentations.
Each test consisted of 150 presentation attacks and 50 bona fide presentations or until eight hours passed.
There were a total of 900 attacks, resulting in an Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate of 0%.
This means the FacePAD algorithm and the accompanying hardware could not be fooled.
“Achieving iBeta PAD Level 1 certification for the FacePAD algorithm is a major milestone that reinforces our leadership in the biometric market,” said Mohammed Murad, Chief Revenue Officer, Iris ID.
“As demand for secure and convenient identity authentication grows globally, this certification gives our partners and customers confidence that Iris ID delivers trusted, field-proven solutions that protect against spoofing threats.”
