Mobai
Mobai delivers AI-powered facial biometrics to combat identity fraud and deepfake threats. As the first company to deliver all of the biometrics sub components in the ETSI 119 461 requirements for biometric sub systems, we enable banks and identity providers across the Nordics to meet stringent AML/KYC requirements and streamline customer onboarding under eiDAS 1.0 and 2.0 regulations.
Founded in 2019 as a spin-off from the Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Mobai was established by leading biometrics and cybersecurity researchers and now partners with EU agencies as well as major Nordic providers in eID, finance, and cybersecurity.
Complete Biometric Solution. We provide a complete biometrics ecosystem with all ETSI-compliant biometric components: face verification (NIST-evaluated), liveness detection (certified by external lab in conformity with ISO/IEC 30107 and ISO/IEC 19989 testing), injection attack detection, deepfake detection, and morphing attack detection. Our comprehensive suite enables banks and IDPs to issue eIDs and conduct both remote and physical onboarding while meeting eiDAS, ISO, and CEN/TS 18099 standards.
Privacy & Security Leadership Our privacy-preserving approach, assessed by the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, features patented fully homomorphic encryption that ensures quantum-proof protection of biometric data. This future-proof technology combines robust fraud protection with GDPR compliance and intuitive user experience.
