As iiDENTIFii’s Product Manager, I am always inspired when iProov achieves a new industry milestone. With their recent FIDO certification, iProov has become the first to meet global standards for facial biometric identity verification set by the FIDO Alliance. This landmark accomplishment reflects our shared commitment to delivering top-tier security and accuracy in identity verification.
What is FIDO, and why is it significant?
The FIDO (Fast Identity Online) standards were created to move away from passwords and toward more secure authentication. This certification assures that a solution meets globally recognized security benchmarks, which help to reduce potential vulnerabilities and improve user safety.
Working with a FIDO-certified provider like iProov offers critical advantages:
- Top-Tier Authentication: FIDO certification ensures high-quality standards, minimizing time and costs for vendor assessments.
- Compatibility: FIDO-compliant solutions integrate smoothly with other certified tools, enhancing usability.
- Streamlined Experience: Using biometrics simplifies the login process by eliminating complex passwords.
- Regulatory Compliance: FIDO-certified solutions adhere to key industry standards, essential for sectors like finance, telecom, and healthcare.
Redefining Remote Face Verification
This FIDO certification for face verification isn’t just an endorsement; it’s transformative. As the FIDO Alliance’s first-ever certification for this technology, it assesses face verification accuracy, security, and usability, following ISO 19795 and ISO 30107 guidelines.
This new standard elevates secure remote identity verification, especially for digital onboarding processes that involve government-issued IDs, which are crucial in today’s digital economy.
Unparalleled Accuracy and Real-Time Fraud Detection
iiDENTIFii proudly integrates iProov’s Dynamic Liveness® technology, which excelled in the FIDO certification testing. Conducted by Ingenium Biometrics, a FIDO-accredited lab, this extensive testing involved over 10,000 trials, resulting in zero successful attacks and an exceptional accuracy rate, with a 0% Imposter Attack Presentation Accept Rate (IAPAR) and a 0.14% False Reject Rate (FRR). Our AI-driven approach can identify fraud faster and more accurately than any manual process, enabling instant verification and onboarding.
iProov – and, by extension, iiDENTIFii – stands out for its commitment to testing and verification standards. This has not only earned FIDO certification but also demonstrates our commitment to providing a secure, trustworthy platform.
Our clients, including four major South African banks, benefit from cutting-edge security that adapts to evolving threats.
Committed to Accessibility for All
A remarkable aspect of iProov’s FIDO certification is its commitment to inclusivity. The technology is rigorously evaluated to ensure reliability across diverse demographics, which is especially important for regions like Africa. With an algorithm trained on data representing over 50 million individuals, iiDENTIFii’s solutions remain effective even in rural areas, ensuring widespread access to secure identity verification.
Leading the Way in Identity Verification
Our partnership with iProov continually drives us toward excellence in face verification technology. This FIDO certification reinforces iiDENTIFii’s position as a pioneer in digital identity solutions across Africa, and beyond.
This achievement underscores our dedication to a future where secure, accessible identity verification is the standard.
