Iris ID has announced that its latest biometric authentication algorithm, iA FacePAD v2.5.3, has achieved Level 2 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) compliance.
This accomplishment was verified through testing by iBeta Quality Assurance, utilizing Iris ID's proprietary iBAR 600E device and its iBAR 600E CS REST API demo application. This milestone signifies a progression from Level 1 compliance and highlights the company's efforts to enhance its biometric solutions against sophisticated spoofing threats.
Biometric Countermeasures Evaluation
With over 25 years of experience, iBeta Quality Assurance is known for providing rigorous software testing services for reputable brands worldwide.
Their PAD assessments conform to ISO/IEC 30107-3 standards, offering stringent evaluations of biometric countermeasures at the point of capture to prevent presentation attacks. The transition from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance introduces more challenging real-world testing conditions, presents higher security thresholds, uses a broader array of Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs), and incorporates advanced attack artifacts like high-quality print media and realistic masks.
Multimodal Biometric Advancements
The Level 2 compliance test involved presenting one legitimate subject followed by three artifacts
The Level 2 compliance test involved presenting one legitimate subject followed by three artifacts, resulting in 150 attack attempts and 50 legitimate presentations over a 24-hour period.
During these tests, iBeta registered zero successful classifications of spoofing attempts, achieving an Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER) of 0%. Recognized for spearheading innovations in iris recognition, Iris ID integrates facial and iris recognition technologies in its solutions, addressing the growing challenges of deepfakes and identity fraud.
Commitment to Security Enhancement
Mohammed Murad, Chief Revenue Officer at Iris ID, commented on this achievement, stating, "Iris ID is strengthening its commitment to defending ‘One Trusted Identity.’ Our rapid progression from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance reflects the dedication and expertise of our engineering team and reinforces our ability to meet today’s market demands while innovating for the future.”
The company remains focused on developing secure solutions that earn the trust of partners and customers around the globe.
Iris ID, the pioneer in non-contact biometric identity authentication technologies, announces that its iA FacePAD algorithm v2.5.3 has successfully achieved Level 2 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) compliance. Testing was conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance using Iris ID’s exclusive, iBAR 600E device in conjunction with the iBAR 600E CS REST API demo application.
The advancement from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance underscores Iris ID’s commitment to delivering biometric solutions capable of defending against increasingly sophisticated spoofing attempts while reliably protecting One Trusted Identity™.
Evaluating biometric countermeasures
For more than 25 years, iBeta Quality Assurance has provided critical software testing services for many of the world’s most trusted brands. iBeta’s PAD testing, conducted in accordance with ISO/IEC 30107-3 standards, is among the most rigorous assessments for evaluating biometric countermeasures against presentation attacks that occur at the point of biometric capture.
Key differences between Level 1 and Level 2 PAD compliance include:
- Testing under less predictable capture conditions that better reflect real-world and adversarial scenarios
- Significantly higher security thresholds, exceeding baseline Level 1 requirements
- Validation against a wider and more sophisticated range of Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs)
- Use of higher-quality attack artifacts, including advanced print media and realistic mask presentations
Multimodal biometric solutions
Level 2 compliance testing involved one bona fide subject presentation alternating with three artifact presentations. This resulted in a total of 150 presentation attack attempts and 50 bona fide presentations conducted over a 24-hour period. During testing, iBeta was unable to obtain a liveness classification for a total of 750 attack attempts. The attack presentation classification error rate (APCER) was 0%.
Iris ID is widely recognized for its leadership in iris recognition technology and biometric innovation for critical environments. With the addition of Level 2-compliant iA FacePAD, Iris ID continues to pioneer multimodal biometric solutions that integrate facial and iris recognition to deliver enhanced security, particularly as deepfakes grow more advanced and identity fraud risks increase.
Delivering enhanced security
“Iris ID is strengthening its commitment to defending ‘One Trusted Identity,’” said Mohammed Murad, Chief Revenue Officer at Iris ID. “Our rapid progression from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance reflects the dedication and expertise of our engineering team and reinforces our ability to meet today’s market demands while innovating for the future.”
Iris ID remains committed to delivering solutions that earn the confidence and trust of its partners and customers worldwide.
