The FIDO accredited biometric laboratory TÜViT tested against criteria based on FIDO Biometric Certification Requirements v1.1 (FIDO1.1) and ISO/IEC 30107-3:2017. The applied criteria are considered by TÜViT to be stricter than FIDO1.1, so as the test was successful, the FIDO criteria are also regarded as being met.

In 1000 spoofing attempts, various photos, paper masks and moving videos on different displays were used by TÜViT for challenging the anti-spoofing system. In addition, a bona-fide test with live persons, designed for auditing correct live classifications, was performed. The bona-fide test validates that the presentation attack detection mechanism, while being secure, is also appropriate for its intended application. Both tests were passed successfully.
 

ISO/IEC 30107 FOR PAD

ISO/IEC 30107-3 is the international standard for presentation attack detection. It includes methods for performance assessment of PAD mechanisms. It gives guidance on how to report testing results from evaluations of presentation attack detection mechanisms. Also, the ISO standard includes a classification of known attack types. The attack classes can be grouped into level A, B and C or are called level 1, 2 and 3. For an overview of different presentation attack classes go to this article on “Liveness Detection Certification”.

EUROPE’S FIRST ISSUED FIDO BIOMETRIC CERTIFICATION RELIES ON BIOID PAD

In addition to the independent testing procedure conducted by TÜViT, BioID’s liveness detection has also been validated during a customer’s FIDO biometric component certification in 2020. This certification is based on the standards ISO 19795 and ISO 30107. The solution including BioID PAD is one of the first in the world that achieved this certification. During the certification process, the accuracy of BioID’s liveness detection was evaluated with hundreds of spoofing attacks carried out using a variety of materials, including photo prints on different media and materials, 3D avatars and video projection. An overview on different testing metrics, certifications and evaluations available can be found here.

LIVENESS DETECTION FOR ANTI-SPOOFING IN IDENTITY VERIFICATION

BioID Liveness Detection requires only two selfies and ensures they were captured from a live person in real-time. Fakes like photos, videos or masks of various materials are reliably detected to ensure the integrity of a registration or authentication process. BioID’s Liveness Detection works with any standard RGB camera and does not require special sensors. It is used by customers worldwide in the private and banking sectors as well as by government service providers. In addition, it is a security mechanism for work-from-home authentication.

“As a pioneer for liveness detection since early 2000, BioID is proud of two different independent accreditations for our PAD technology. As we are working with multiple government suppliers, such objective third-party measurement is of great value. It complements the real-life approval from multiple years of efficient fraud prevention for our customers worldwide.”, says BioID CEO Ho Chang.
