This morning I loudly proclaimed that three companies had received independent assessments of conformance to Level 3 Presentation Attack Detection (liveness detection).
This is important, because Level 3 conveys an enhanced certainty that the face the software sees (the face that is “presented”) is a real face and not some type of deepfake.
And as I loudly proclaimed, products from three companies had received the Level 3 designation.
But I was wrong.
As I noted several hours later, FOUR companies have received that PAD Level 3 designation: Aware, FaceTec, Paravision, and Yoti.
There are three ways to correct a mistake:
- Don’t. Keep the incorrect information.
- Quietly correct the mistake without admitting it. Change “three” to “four,” and you’re done with no one the wiser.
- Admit the mistake. “Yeah, I originally said three, but it’s really four.”
I chose the third option, just in case someone remembers that I initially said three.
