We are delighted to announce the results of the most recent testing of our latest liveness technology, MyFace. Working with iBeta, a NIST certified testing lab, Yoti’s latest liveness detection model was tested to be compliant with ISO/IEC 30107-3 standards. For both NIST level 1 and level 2, Yoti MyFace achieved:
- 100% detection of attack (0% false positives)
- 100% approval for genuine presentations (0% false negatives)
NIST provides a framework for testing performance levels of liveness detection. Yoti’s passive liveness technology does not require any action from the user and works from a single selfie. Users do not need to perform any further movements, facial expressions, nor repeat any prompts. This greatly improves success rates and accessibility.
NIST Level 1 uses objects that could be found in a regular home or office. Materials used for testing should be limited to a cost of $30, and masks are excluded. To pass NIST Level 1, you must detect every attack and limit false negatives to less than 15%.
NIST Level 2 involves testing with more specialist attacks, such as latex facemasks or 3D printers. Materials used for testing should not cost more than $300. To pass NIST Level 2, you must detect 99% of attacks and limit false negatives to less than 15%.
It can be confusing for businesses when they read articles or posts saying liveness systems are easy to beat. Independent testing by respected testing agency iBeta ensures businesses and regulators can be confident in the quality of Yoti’s MyFace Liveness.
