BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of biometrics software
products, solutions and services, today announced that its
Knomi® solution passed presentation attack detection
(PAD) testing levels 1 & 2 in accordance with ISO/IEC 30107-3,
conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance. A feat that, according to the
iBeta website, only a small handful of others have achieved; Aware
the only one doing so against the latest, more stringent
standards.
During the evaluation of Aware's passive Liveness technology,
iBeta researchers conducted hundreds of presentation attacks using
subjects' authentic biometric samples to create artifacts. These
included high quality photos, 2D and 3D paper masks, videos, gel,
latex and silicone masks, mannequins, and 3D animation software.
None of these presentation attacks were successful, earning an
Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER)/false accept
of 0%—a perfect score against the strictest requirements with
respect to the Bona-fide Presentation Classification Error Rate
(BPCER)/false reject to-date on both the Android and iOS operation
mobile edge devices.
Knomi is a mobile biometric authentication framework that
leverages mobile devices using passive liveness technology, and
face and voice matching to enable secure and convenient multifactor
authentication without passwords. Given the mobile nature of the
world today, and the continued increase in the number of people
using mobile devices for work and play, Knomi enables secure,
trusted un-proctored biometric registration and sign-in.
Furthermore, corporations around the world are pushing intelligence
to edge devices due to the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G. Knomi
builds trust between the user and the provider through securing and
analyzing biometric assets on the device, on the provider's server
or on the cloud.
From a security perspective, Knomi helps to prevent the creation
of synthetic digital identities and it helps to prevent a fraudster
from assuming the identity of a trusted or privileged person.
This security facilitates the adoption of biometric
authentication at the consumer level and at the same time can
protect the relying party such as a financial institution from the
liabilities of financial loss and of consumer data breaches.
"We are thrilled that Knomi passed the iBeta level 1 & 2
standards," said Dr. Mohamed
Lazzouni, chief technology officer at Aware. "Aware invested
considerable time, research and development in the Knomi offering
to ensure that we deliver the highest level of security, while also
providing a frictionless user experience."
Dr. Lazzouni continued, "Anti-spoofing is not a theory to us; it
is a fundamental aspect that powers our Knomi platform in response
to increased demand from business and security professionals to
enable trust in the identity space. Third-party verification that
we effectively implemented anti-spoofing resilience in our design,
further supports our drive to bring identity solutions to life so
users can own their identity."
