Liveness Detection – Trusted with Compliance

BioID is the industry pioneer in the development of facial liveness detection since early 2000. BioID’s Liveness Detection is compliant with ISO/IEC 30107 as confirmed by two independent FIDO accredited biometric laboratories:

• Liveness Detection was successfully tested by TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH (TÜViT) in Germany against criteria based on FIDO Biometric Certification Requirements v1.1 and ISO/IEC 30107-3:2017. The applied criteria are considered by TÜViT to be stricter than FIDO1.1 and ISO/IEC 30107-3.

• A FIDO biometric component certification was achieved through a BioID’s partner solution in France. The certified KYC identity verification product relies on BioID Liveness Detection for fraud prevention. During the FIDO certification process in 2020, BioID PAD performance was successfully tested by the accredited laboratories ELITT/Leti according to the standards ISO 19795 and ISO/IEC 30107.
