FaceTec has had a big year. The company marks a successful 2018 with some high-profile integrations of its AI-driven ZoOm 3D Face Login authentication solution, which utilizes standard 2D smart device cameras and webcams to create 3D FaceMaps with its patented ZoOm motion technology. ZoOm is now securing user logins on five continents in several industries, including…
“It comprehensively lays out the growing proliferation of biometric security, the serious risks that presentation attacks pose, and the consequent importance of independent, accredited industry testing…” Toward the end of this summer, FaceTec‘s ZoOm 3D Face Login authentication solution became the first in the world to attain Level 1 certification in iBeta’s Presentation Attack Detection…
Apple confirmed longstanding speculation last week with its unveiling of its three new iPhone models for 2018. Like last year’s iPhone X, all of the new devices have abandoned Apple’s pioneering Touch ID fingerprint authentication system in favor of Face ID, an infrared, 3D facial recognition system. Face ID is now the sole means of…
FaceTec has really made a name for itself over the last several months, thanks to its ZoOm 3D Face Login solution. While a number of authentication specialists have sought to leverage facial recognition since Apple began to popularize face unlock for its iPhone X last September, FaceTec’s system stands out for its use of 3D…
Trusona has made one of its physical ID-focused authentication solutions even stronger. Designed to replace one-time password tokens, the system is aimed at sensitive authentication applications, such as opening new accounts or performing wire transfers. End users register for the system by scanning a driver’s license or passport, and for each subsequent authentication session, they…
Facial recognition biometrics is one of the more controversial biometric technologies thanks to popular fears of one’s face being used against them. BioID is facing these fears head-on with a new liveness detection feature. The cloud biometrics developer announced a new liveness detection feature to be integrated in the the BioID Web Services (BWS) with…
SensibleVision is offering further details on its 3D facial recognition software for mobile devices. First announced this past June, 3DVerify is designed to leverage 3D cameras for facial recognition. In September, SensibleVision announced that its solution had passed “tests that prove it works in broad daylight,” and the company now says it can function in…
Mobile ID World President Peter O’Neill recently spoke with Håkan Persson, CEO of Precise Biometrics. The conversation details the transformative period the company has navigated in 2017, beginning with discussion of how it is addressing last year’s announcement that its long-time hardware partner, Fingerprint Cards (FPC), will be replacing Precise’s algorithm solutions with its own biometric…
Precise Biometrics has signed on with a new licensing partner for its Precise BioMatch Mobile algorithm software. Korea-based fabless semiconductor specialist Haptrics Inc. will incorporate the technology into its CMOS fingerprint sensors. The deal will see Haptrics pay annual licensing fees to Precise Biometrics, as well as royalties based on the number of sensors sold…
“Precise Biometrics’ contribution comes by way of liveness detection technology it acquired when it bought NexID earlier this year.” Key Source International’s new biometric keyboard features Precise Biometrics technology, the latter has revealed. The KSI-1700 UB keyboard was first unveiled several weeks ago, and features an embedded fingerprint sensor provided by SecuGen, the FAP 20…
“Precise Biometrics argued that the issue of liveness detection on mobile devices – which are increasingly being used for online purchases – is quickly becoming a critical issue.” Precise Biometrics has published a white paper on the importance of liveness detection for mobile biometrics. Entitled “Spoof and Liveness Detection for the Mobile Biometrics Market,” the…
“SRI International says its solution, which it calls a ‘Multi-physiological Joint Optimization and Liveness Nuances for Identity Ratification system,’ will focus on ‘dynamic biometrics’…” The Intelligence Advanced Research Project Activity (IARPA) has contracted SRI International to develop a solution that can detect spoofing attacks against biometric security systems. Such presentation attacks appear to be a…
“The appointment further raises Novetta’s profile as an analytics company capable of assessing sophisticated technologies.” A Novetta executive will help to lead the development of an ISO/IEC JTC1 standard concerning spoofing attacks against smartphone biometric authentication systems, the company has announced.
