Yoti bring in FaceTec to provide biometric authentication

Digital identity management group Yoti have announced it is integrating FaceTec’s ‘ZoOm 3D Authentication with TrueLiveness’ in the aim to boost the biometric security of its digital identity offerings.

The first Yoti product to feature the solution is the online browser version of its ‘Yoti Age Scan’ age estimation technology and the company hopes the integration will provide them with a competitive edge thanks to the anti-spoofing capabilities.

“We reviewed a number of providers and found ZoOm to be superior to the other solutions we tested.” said Yoti Chief Product Officer Madhu Nori in a statement.

“We found the anti-spoofing and liveness detection approach very strong and innovative, with a simple and intuitive UX for individuals. It’s also a scalable solution; an important consideration for us as we expand globally.”

The company stated its reasoning behind choosing FaceTec’s technology was due to the technical features and standards compliance of ZoOm.

ZoOm is the first ace biometric authenticator to attain Level 1 and Level 2 certifications in the NIST/NVLAP-certified iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) test guided by the ISO-30107 global standard, achieving perfect 100% anti-spoofing scores.

In a piece with Biometric Update, Yoti Co-founder and CEO Robin Tombs commened FaceTec’s principles and spoke his companies “mission to be the world’s trusted identity platform.”

He commented: “Individuals will have a smoother and faster experience when using our products, and businesses can benefit from accurate and friction-free authentication.”

Yoti struck a major deal in January having announced that its app is now supporting alcohol sales in a collaboration with Jägermeister.
