If you needed any confirmation that Presentation Attack Detection Level 2 is so last year, you have it now.
Last month I talked about Yoti achieving confirmation of PAD Level 3 in iBeta testing.
But iBeta isn’t the only entity performing PAD Level 3 testing.
- FaceTec’s algorithm received PAD Level 3 confirmation from BixeLab in October.
- Aware received a similar confirmation in November.
Will PAD Level 3 become the new floor for liveness detection? It depends upon your needs. Here’s how Mantra explains the difference between levels 2 and 3.
Level 2 (L2):
More realistic spoofs-high-quality 3D masks, composite fingers, better materials. Harder to detect, but still lab-craft attacks.
Level 3 (L3):
Advanced adversary scenarios-custom molds, hyper-realistic masks, lab-grade fabrication. Represents attackers with serious resources.
The “serious resources” part is key. Fraudsters will only spend “serious resources” if the target is valuable enough.
But will consumers perceive that THEIR data is valuable enough to warrant Level 3 liveness detection? And avoid the solutions with “only” Level 2 conformance?
Three companies (so far) are betting on it.
(And yes, the three hands on the fraudster should have been a giveaway…)
