FaceTec proves the Correct User is physically present by Matching them to their ID Photo or 3D FaceMap.

Frictionless Security
for Real Users

Liveness Checks, Face Matches & Photo ID Scans are now fast, easy, and secure for everyone, regardless of their device. During onboarding, FaceTec’s software records a quick video-selfie, verifies 3D Liveness, matches the 3D FaceMap® to the photo on the ID, OCRs ID text, checks for signs of ID tampering, and scans other enrolled 3D faces for duplicates. Upon their return, another video-selfie confirms the user’s 3D Liveness and their new 3D FaceMap is compared to the old one from onboarding. If they match, the positively identified user can be granted account access. Watch the 5-Minute Video Tour

Brick Wall
for Bad Actors

Use your 3D face to unlock anything from a car door to a bank account. Real users get easy access, but bad actors and bots are rebuffed by anti-spoofing AI certified by a NIST/NVLAP lab and relentlessly tested via our $600,000 Spoof Bounty. FaceTec is the industry leader that invented the 3D FaceMap, the 3D biometric modality created solely to provide the most secure, intuitive, and cost-effective biometric security for remote digital identity.

Can a Simple Selfie Really Provide Security?
No, because 2D photos of most people are available all over the Internet. But FaceTec isn’t just a “selfie”; it’s a real-time 3D FaceScan that collects time-stamped, un-reusable Liveness data and creates a 3D FaceMap, which IS NOT publicly available online. FaceTec’s software isn’t fooled by photos, masks, or deepfakes, and ensures that the user is actually physically present.

 

FaceTec’s Liveness Detection AI must observe so many concurrent human traits that spoof artifacts are unable to recreate them all in real-time. For ongoing user authentication, FaceTec’s 3D face matching compares a new Liveness-proven 3D FaceMap with the user’s previously-stored 3D FaceMap. If they match highly (1/125M FAR), the user can be granted access.

FaceTec’s Encrypted 3D FaceMaps:

  • Can’t Be Phished From Users
  • Aren’t a Biometric Honeypot
  • Stop Credential Sharing
  • Stop Botnet Attacks
  • 1:1 Match at 1/125M FAR
  • 1:N De-duplicate up to 1/1B FAR
  • Match 2D Photos up to 1/2M FAR
  • Provide Anonymous Age Checks

Time-Stamped 3D Liveness = No Security Honeypot Risk

Two types of data are required for every face authentication: 3D Face data for matching and real-time 3D Liveness data to prove the Face data was collected from a physically present person. 3D Liveness data is time-stamped, valid only for a few minutes, and can be deleted immediately.  New 3D Liveness data must be collected for every subsequent 3D FaceScan.

 

FaceTec’s Customers don’t create security honeypot risk by storing 3D FaceMaps because they contain “face data” without the  Liveness data required in a new 3D FaceScan session, so they cannot be re-used to spoof FaceTec’s 3D Liveness AI.

HOW FaceTec WORKS

As the camera’s view of the 3D user changes, it observes perspective distortion in the video. FaceTec’s AI processes the +100 frames over two-to-three seconds and then interpolates that data into a 3D FaceMap from any .3MP+ 2D camera.

Certified Liveness Detection

We’ve devoted more time to anti-spoofing than anyone, ever.  Over nearly a decade we’ve performed hundreds-of-millions of spoof attempts with every conceivable type of media and learned how to stop them.  For more info see: www.Liveness.com

 

Attack Vectors include:

  • 2D paper photos & digital images
  • High resolution videos
  • Paper masks with eye & mouth cutouts
  • Hollywood masks, wax figures & lifelike dolls
  • Photos or video frames animated into avatars
  • Video projections on 3D heads
  • Sleeping users with closed eyes
  • Device Emulators & Virtual Camera programs
  • Impostors, lookalikes & doppelgangers
  • Hardware Video Injection adapters

Operating a Spoof Bounty Program since October 2019, and passing NIST/NVLAP Lab Level 1 & 2 PAD testing with 0% FAR years before that is proof that FaceTec is the biometric modality that is virtually impossible to fool using today’s media technology.

 

     

Biometric Best Practices

   

     

   

   

   

  • Demand 3D Liveness Detection backed by a Spoof Bounty Program.  Without it, you cannot trust unsupervised users and will be put at risk by images on Facebook/Google/YouTube, and those in data breaches.  With strong 3D Liveness & 3D Matching, 2D photos stored online (or breached) can’t be leveraged against your users.  Whitepaper
  • Delete Liveness Data after each login and collect new Liveness Data for every new session.  This prevents biometric honeypots and allows for safe, centralized biometric storage.  See www.Liveness.com
  • You store all of your User’s biometric data & PII on your servers which run FaceTec’s software inside your firewall. 3D is the only way to verify biometric identity remotely, enable cross-platform logins, simplify device upgrades, & allow multiple users /device.
  • Only true 3D Algorithms that measure the shape of the user’s face can be unbiased to skin tone. FaceTec trained its 3D Algorithms with the help of over half-a-million volunteer testers from over 180 countries.

2D vs. 3D Face Matching

2D Matching will never have the accuracy needed for true Unsupervised Identity Verification & Authentication. There’s just too much variability in how the same 3D human face appears when flattened into 2D at different image capture distances. This variability creates significant overlapping similarity between the 2D features of different humans and confuses the 2D algorithms, preventing them from achieving highly accurate FARs at usable FRRs.

Apple, Google, and Intel understand this, so their 3D Face Matching systems use 3D infrared cameras, but that, of course, requires each device to include special hardware. In contrast, FaceTec securely performs 3D Matching from virtually any device with a 2D camera.
