Acuant, a
leading global provider of identity verification solutions, announced new
technology for advanced passive liveness test in
Acuant FaceID biometric
facial recognition and
Acuant WebID for
instant identity verification on the web, strengthening the platform's
omnichannel solutions. Advanced passive liveness and WebID bring what you
expect from Acuant, speed and accuracy for superior identity proofing.
Acuant's
Trusted Identity Platform allows for simple, secure and trusted transactions
across any channel (on premise and remote, any device). A new liveness test,
advanced passive liveness, for facial recognition is now available within the
three FaceID offerings. Groundbreaking, this is the most user friendly and
secure liveness test on the market. A user simply poses for a selfie that is
matched to the image on their ID, zero action is required to confirm liveness.
Advanced
passive liveness is offered in FaceID's Standard and Government classes and
works across all digital channels (native and web) bringing liveness tests to
the web. Meeting US National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)
guidelines and iBeta certified, advanced passive liveness sets the gold
standard in spoof proof technology by preventing presentation attacks from
printed images, masks, recorded video or synthetic video.
In an effort to
expand identity verification for HTML/Web workflows, soon to launch Acuant
WebID provides instant identity verification across mobile and web channels.
WebID allows a user to seamlessly verify their identity utilizing both Acuant
AssureID document authentication & Acuant FaceID biometric facial
recognition with liveness test via HTML (desktop) and their mobile device.
The
authentication happens in real time (seconds) and allows business to follow the
progress, getting verification results and seeing where users might abandon the
process. The ability to move seamlessly from web to mobile allows for high
quality image capture, leading to the best results, reducing unknown rates,
catching more fraud and passing more good customers. There are no awkward or
hard to follow steps involved. WebID offers easy API integration to be up and
running in no time.
"We are excited to bring these innovative
solutions to the market and our partners. Acuant remains focused on providing
best in class identity proofing solutions that are simple and secure for all
channels," said Acuant President and CEO Yossi Zekri. "We recognize the
importance of not only being able to transact on any channel, but across
channels in one workflow as with WebID. We aim to prevent and reduce fraud
while bridging major gaps for businesses when it comes to enabling trusted transactions
that are user friendly."
