Iris ID has announced that its FacePAD algorithm version 2.4.2, used with the Iris ID iBAR 600E, has achieved Level 1 compliance in the iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) test. This certification, providing assurance of high standards in biometric security, accuracy, and reliability, highlights the company's focus on evolving biometric solutions.
iBeta Quality Assurance, renowned as a top-tier third-party biometric testing facility, conducted the PAD tests to ascertain the resilience of biometric products against presentation attacks, also known as spoofing attempts. Successfully passing this assessment indicates that Iris ID's FacePAD algorithm is adept at differentiating between the authentic biometrics of a live individual and fake attempts via photos, videos, or masks.
Unyielding biometric security standards
The testing methodology included alternating one real subject presentation with three artefact presentations, consisting of 150 presentation attacks and 50 genuine presentations, carried out until 900 attacks or an 8-hour duration was reached. Impressively, the Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate was recorded at 0%, proving the robustness of the FacePAD algorithm and the accompanying hardware.
Advancing identity authentication solutions
Iris ID expands its reach in thwarting spoofing and unauthorised access by integrating PAD capabilities
Known for its innovation in iris recognition countermeasure technologies, Iris ID expands its reach in thwarting spoofing and unauthorised access by integrating PAD capabilities into facial recognition. This progress showcases the company's dedication to providing secure, contactless identity authentication solutions, addressing the needs of governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure globally.
Mohammed Murad, Chief Revenue Officer of Iris ID, stated, "Achieving iBeta PAD Level 1 certification for the FacePAD algorithm is a major milestone that reinforces our leadership in the biometric market. 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."
Future prospects in biometric technology
The successful iBeta PAD testing marks another step for Iris ID in expanding its portfolio of certified biometric technologies, enabling organisations to meet compliance requirements effectively while ensuring security and convenience in identity verification processes. Iris ID's innovative solutions will be showcased at booth 417 during Identity Week America on September 10th and 11th in Washington DC.
Iris ID, a pioneer in iris recognition technology, announces 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 certification underscores Iris ID’s commitment to delivering solutions with the highest standards of biometric security, accuracy and reliability.
Conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance, the world’s leading 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 highly effective at distinguishing between genuine biometrics of a live person and fraudulent attempts using fakes such as photos, videos, or masks.
Highest standards of biometric security
The test method used applied one real subject presentation that alternated with 3 artefact presentations. Each test consisted of 150 presentation attacks and 50 bona fide presentations, or until 8 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.
Long recognised as a pioneer in countermeasure technologies for iris recognition, Iris ID continues to lead the industry in developing solutions that safeguard against spoofing and fraudulent access.
Identity authentication solutions
By extending PAD capabilities to facial recognition, Iris ID reinforces its commitment to delivering the highest levels of security, privacy, and user convenience. This innovation further demonstrates the company’s vision to provide trusted, contactless identity authentication solutions that meet the evolving demands of governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure worldwide.
“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.”
With the successful completion of iBeta PAD testing, Iris ID continues to expand its portfolio of certified, world-class biometric technologies. These advancements help organisations meet stringent compliance requirements while ensuring the highest levels of trust, security, and convenience in identity authentication.
