Thanks to technological advancements, the use of biometric data for authentication is becoming increasingly common and efficient. However, security risks such as fraud attempts during liveness tests or face match detection are always present. Consequently, companies like Identyum must stay ahead by implementing appropriate security measures to protect users’ biometric data.

In July 2024, Identyum became the first company in Croatia and the region to successfully complete the ISO-IEC 30107-3 PAD Level 2 certification process. The certificate was issued by ACCS, a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited body that provides testing and certification services for online and offline age verification and identification systems. The certification is valid for two years until 2026.

What is ISO 30107?

ISO 30107 is an international standard that provides guidelines for Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) in biometric systems. This standard ensures that biometric systems can detect and prevent fraudulent activities, such as when fraudsters attempt to bypass the system using fake biometric samples (e.g., face masks, printed faces, etc.). Liveness detection is a critical aspect of ISO 30107 PAD Level 2, ensuring that the biometric system can distinguish genuine interactions from fraud attempts by verifying that the presented biometric sample is from a live person rather than any replica.

Advantages of Biometric Authentication Systems

• Enhanced Security: Protects against identity theft and fraud through advanced security authentication mechanisms based on user biometrics.
• Building Trust: Achieves high security standards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets international security standards, aiding compliance with various global regulations.

What Does this Certificate Mean for Identyum Clients?

This certificate means Identyum’s liveness and facematch detection system meets the highest security standards. Clients can be assured that their authentication process is maximally protected against fraud attempts, including attacks with fake or altered biometric data such as printed faces, rubber masks, pre recorded videos, or dolls with convincing faces.
