I Guess I Was Fated to Write About NIST IR 8491 on Passive Presentation Attack Detection

Remember in mid-August when I said that the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology was splitting its FRVT tests into FRTE and FATE tests?

Well, the FATE side of the house has released its first two studies, including one entitled “Face Analysis Technology Evaluation (FATE) Part 10: Performance of Passive, Software-Based Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Algorithms” (NIST Internal Report NIST IR 8491; PDF here).

I’ve written all about this study in a LinkedIn article under my own name that answers the following questions:

  • What is a presentation attack?
  • How do you detect presentation attacks?
  • Why does NIST care about presentation attacks?
  • And why should you?

My LinkedIn article, “Why NIST Cares About Presentation Attack Detection…and Why You Should Also,” can be found at the link https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-nist-cares-presentation-attack-detectionand-you-should-bredehoft/.
