Safran Identity & Security is offering a new
version of its Selfie-Check SDK (Software Development Kit) to enhance the accuracy and security
of biometric facial authentication for mobile devices, especially in regard to liveness
detection.
Upgrading its face recognition solution to the highest
level of security, Safran Identity & Security is enhancing its liveness
detection feature. When taking a selfie for authentication, users will be asked randomly to turn their head to the right, the
left or downwards – or even a combination of all of these. By requesting random
head movements, the selfie-check ensures that the user is a real and a live
person, through a user-friendly interface.
“Based
on our extensive biometric experience and our strategy of constant improvement,
we have been able to develop this next step in liveness detection techniques.
The ability to recognize a living person considerably strengthens the security
and reliability of a biometric system and reduces the risk of hacking and
fraud,” explained Yves Portalier, Vice President
& General Manager of the Telecom Business Unit, Safran Identity &
Security.
Visitors can experience the biometric SDK for mobile
phones with enhanced liveness detection at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona (Hall 6 / Stand G 30).
