LONG BEACH, NY , May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  authID.ai [Nasdaq: AUID], a leading provider of secure, mobile, biometric identity authentication solutions, today announced that the company’s Verified™ platform has achieved conformance with ISO 30107-3 Level 1 and 2 standards for Presentation Attack Detection (PAD). Testing was performed by iBeta Quality Assurance, one of the few Independent Test Labs in the nation accredited by NIST NVLAP (NVLAP Testing Lab Code 200962-0) to perform biometrics testing.

Key Points: 
  • To that end, IBeta conducted rigorous testing specifically intended to defeat authID.ais passive liveness detection algorithms by performing presentation attacks on the subsystems.
  • With a total of 360 attempts on Level 1 and 360 attempts on Level 2, Verified successfully recognized and prevented all 720 presentation attacks for a 0% failure ratepassing with a perfect score for both levels.
  • Presentation attacks occur when fraudsters attempt to attack a biometric system by creating spoofs or fakes that are then presented to the biometric sensors.
  • These frames are then sent through a pipeline of multiple presentation attack detection algorithms to detect spoofing attempts.
