Paravision’s biometric anti-spoofing software has passed a Level 3 assessment from Ingenium Biometrics, showing high security and usability in the process.
The company submitted its Liveness 2.0 software to Ingenium Biometrics’ Level 3 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) test, which evaluates effectiveness stopping sophisticated attacks with 3D masks.
The lab’s testing also exceeds industry conventions for the range of attack methods tested, the strictness of the thresholds applied and conditions that more closely resemble real-world deployments, according to a company announcement.
The evaluation consisted of 1,900 spoofing attempts conducted with 190 presentation attack instruments (PAIs) across sophistication Levels A, B and C. Accurate spoof detection is measured with APCER (Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate), and usability is expressed in BPCER (Bona Fide Presentation Classification Error Rate). The two measures were set at what the announcement refers to as a “stringent operating threshold, prioritizing high confidence in classification decisions.”
Paravision’s passive, single-frame biometric PAD software met all thresholds set by Ingenium.
“Paravision has demonstrated a high level of security with its PAD product,” summarizes Ingenium Biometrics Laboratories Founder and Director Dr. Chris Allgrove. “Ingenium’s Level 3 PAD evaluation applies stringent standards in biometric testing, requiring systems to meet four demanding criteria. Paravision Liveness 2.0 satisfied all four, achieving a balance of low APCER for spoof resistance with a correspondingly low BPCER for genuine user access.”
