iBeta Confers Level 2 PAD Compliance on Iris ID’s iA FacePAD Algorithm

Iris ID announced that its iA FacePAD algorithm, version 2.5.3, has achieved Level 2 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) compliance. Testing was conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance using Iris ID’s exclusive iBAR 600E device in conjunction with the iBAR 600E CS REST API demo application.

The advancement from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance underscores Iris ID’s commitment to delivering biometric solutions that defend against increasingly sophisticated spoofing attempts while reliably protecting One Trusted Identity™.

For more than 25 years, iBeta Quality Assurance has provided critical software testing services for many of the world’s most trusted brands. iBeta’s PAD testing, conducted in accordance with ISO/IEC 30107-3, is among the most rigorous assessments for evaluating biometric countermeasures against presentation attacks at the point of biometric capture.

Key differences between Level 1 and Level 2 PAD compliance include:

• Testing under less predictable capture conditions that better reflect real-world and adversarial scenarios
• Significantly higher security thresholds, exceeding baseline Level 1 requirements
• Validation against a wider and more sophisticated range of Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs)
• Use of higher-quality attack artifacts, including advanced print media and realistic mask presentations

Level 2 compliance testing involved one bona fide subject presentation alternating with three artifact presentations. This resulted in a total of 150 presentation attack attempts and 50 bona fide presentations conducted over a 24-hour period. During testing, iBeta was unable to obtain a liveness classification for a total of 750 attack attempts. The attack presentation classification error rate (APCER) was 0%.

Iris ID is widely recognized for its leadership in iris recognition technology and biometric innovation for critical environments. With the addition of Level 2-compliant iA FacePAD, Iris ID continues to pioneer multimodal biometric solutions that integrate facial and iris recognition to deliver enhanced security, particularly as deepfakes grow more advanced and identity fraud risks increase.

“Iris ID is strengthening its commitment to defending ‘One Trusted Identity,’” said Mohammed Murad, Chief Revenue Officer at Iris ID. “Our rapid progression from Level 1 to Level 2 compliance reflects the dedication and expertise of our engineering team and reinforces our ability to meet today’s market demands while innovating for the future.”

Iris ID remains committed to delivering solutions that earn the confidence and trust of its partners and customers worldwide.
