iProov, a provider of science-based biometric identity solutions and iiDENTIFii’s technology partner in Africa, has become the first to achieve the new, global certification in face biometric identity verification from the FIDO Alliance.
The FIDO Alliance is an open industry association whose mission is to reduce the world’s reliance on passwords. This program is the premier certification to assess the performance and usability of remote identity verification systems based on facial biometrics.
Gur Geva, founder and CEO of iiDENTIFii says: “As iProov’s African technology partner, we are proud to deliver face authentication and verification technology backed by this rigorously tested, widely respected establishment. iProov’s FIDO certification adds another layer of trust to our offering’s ability to scale and to meet the ever-growing security challenges of our rapidly digitising world.”
In a rigorous process conducted by Ingenium Biometrics, a FIDO face verification accredited lab, which consisted of no less than 10,000 tests, iProov’s Dynamic Liveness achieved a flawless success record with no attacks passing the system. These results set a new benchmark for accuracy and reliability, achieving a 0% Imposter Attack Presentation Accept Rate (IAPAR), and a 0,14% False Reject Rate (FRR).
“For the first time, governments and enterprises worldwide can rely on an industry-recognized, large-scale biometric performance standard and certification program. Finally, they can specify and procure biometrics with presentation attack liveness defences with confidence in a third-party benchmark,” says Andrew Bud, founder and CEO of iProov.
“iProov is delighted to have met and exceeded this standard. Our status as the only vendor so far to successfully pass this program underwrites the trust in iProov shown by so many governments, large enterprises, and leading trust service providers.”
