iProov’s Dynamic Liveness Achieves Highest Industry Certification for Anti-Deepfake Security, Setting New Benchmark in Biometric Identity Verification
iProov, the global leader in science-based biometric identity verification, has announced that its Dynamic Liveness technology has become the first and only solution to achieve both the CEN/TS 18099 High technical specification and Ingenium Level 4 for Injection Attack Detection. This milestone was confirmed through an independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited evaluation conducted by Ingenium Biometric Laboratories, marking a major advancement in facial biometric security. Ingenium Level 4 represents the highest tier of testing within the CEN/TS 18099 framework, requiring an extended 40-day evaluation period and the inclusion of complex, high-weighted attack types. This rigorous standard goes beyond basic liveness detection, focusing specifically on the ability to prevent injection attacks—where malicious actors attempt to bypass facial recognition systems using pre-recorded or AI-generated media. During the evaluation, iProov successfully blocked every attempted injection attack, achieving zero successful breaches. Remarkably, this level of security was maintained without compromising user experience, with a Bona Fide Presentation Classification Error Rate (BPCER) of just 1.3%. This demonstrates that robust protection against sophisticated threats can be achieved without sacrificing usability. CEN/TS 18099 is emerging as a critical benchmark in the biometric industry, offering a standardized, accredited method for evaluating resistance to injection attacks. Unlike many vendor-led tests that rely on proprietary frameworks, CEN/TS 18099 is developed by recognized industry standards bodies, enabling meaningful comparisons across solutions. This shift is especially important as AI-generated deepfakes and synthetic media become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. “Biometric security must be proven, not promised,” said Andrew Bud, founder and CEO of iProov. “CEN/TS 18099 is the first true benchmark for injection attack detection, a requirement now formally included in NIST 800-63-4. Achieving Ingenium Level 4 through accredited testing confirms iProov as the highest-assurance facial biometric provider independently validated today.” The achievement positions iProov at the forefront of digital identity security, particularly for organizations complying with stringent regulatory frameworks. Its solution aligns with the latest NIST 800-63-4 Digital Identity Guidelines and supports phishing-resistant authentication. When combined with FIDO Face Verification Certification, iProov offers the only independently audited, end-to-end trail for high-assurance identity verification—critical for use in government systems, financial services, and digital identity wallets such as the UK National Cyber Plan and the EU’s EUDI Wallet. Additionally, iProov’s technology meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 accessibility standards, ensuring an inclusive experience for users of all abilities while maintaining top-tier performance. Trusted by leading institutions including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.K. Home Office, GovTech Singapore, ING, and UBS, iProov continues to set the benchmark in biometric identity assurance. The company’s advanced liveness detection and iSOC threat intelligence platform deliver unmatched resilience against deepfakes and generative AI threats, enabling secure, scalable, and seamless remote onboarding and authentication across digital and physical environments.
