Insights
The Department of Homeland Security's evaluation of ID R&D's liveness detection technology represents a significant competitive advantage for Mitek in the rapidly growing digital identity verification market. The results are particularly noteworthy for three key reasons:
Technical Superiority: IDLive Face's ability to achieve 100% fraud prevention while maintaining the fastest transaction speed (1 second) demonstrates a significant technological moat. This performance gap, especially against active liveness solutions that take up to 40 times longer, positions Mitek favorably in enterprise-level deployments where scale and user experience are critical.
Market Differentiation: The system's unbiased performance across demographics addresses a important concern in the identity verification space, where bias has been a persistent challenge. This feature, combined with passive operation that eliminates user friction, makes the solution particularly attractive for highly regulated industries like banking and healthcare, where both compliance and user experience are paramount.
Commercial Implications: With digital identity fraud causing billions in annual losses, this DHS validation significantly enhances Mitek's market position. The company's existing deployment across 150+ partners in 70+ countries provides a strong foundation for accelerated growth, as the DHS evaluation results will likely serve as a powerful sales catalyst, particularly in government and enterprise sectors where security standards are highest.
The technology's passive nature, requiring no additional user actions while maintaining superior security, represents a paradigm shift in the identity verification space. This advantage could translate into higher margins and market share gains, as competitors using active liveness detection may struggle to match both the security and user experience levels demonstrated in the DHS evaluation.
This test was not just another industry exercise, it was a rigorous assessment of technologies designed to safeguard businesses and consumers from fraud attempts like spoofing and impersonation, challenges that cost industries billions annually. A total of 21 systems were evaluated, including both active and passive Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) solutions. Despite the common misconception that active liveness solutions are more effective, ID R&D’s passive technology not only blocked
Passive liveness enables fraud prevention without compromising user experience
As fraud tactics grow more sophisticated, businesses face increasing challenges in balancing security with a seamless customer experience. Identity fraud, fueled by deepfakes and injection attacks, poses serious financial and reputational risks, making robust verification essential. IDLive Face proved it can do that by delivering:
-
Zero Impostors Passed: It was one of only two passive systems to block
100% of impostors, ensuring no fraudulent access. - Top Accuracy Rates: IDLive Face had the least impact to genuine users while achieving the highest level of security among both active and passive PAD systems with zero Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER)2. The next closest passive solution’s Bona fide Presentation Classification Error Rate (BPCER)3 was twice as high, indicating ID R&D’s significantly better performance in distinguishing genuine users.
- Fast Transaction Speed: IDLive Face achieved a maximum transaction time of just one second, making the user experience for a liveness check almost immediate. In comparison, the closest passive liveness competitor with similar APCER rates had a latency three times longer. Active liveness systems that participated in the program required up to 40 times longer to complete a transaction.
- No Detectable Bias: Unlike some competitors, ID R&D’s system demonstrated no bias across age, race, or gender, making it inclusive for everyone.
The results illustrate ID R&D’s commitment to precision-driven performance and its dedication to optimizing accuracy, minimizing false positives and negatives, and delivering swift run times for a seamless user experience.
Why this matters to businesses
These evaluations confirm that passive liveness technology delivers measurable business impact, reducing fraud while enabling seamless and secure digital transactions. Unlike traditional methods that introduce delays or user friction, passive liveness works invisibly in the background, verifying identity without requiring extra steps from customers.
“This evaluation validates what we’ve always believed—that strong fraud protection doesn’t have to come at the expense of a seamless user experience,” said Alexey Khitrov, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Mitek. “Our AI-powered solution raises the bar, offering unmatched security and inclusivity in remote identity verification.”
Already integrated into Mitek’s portfolio of identity verification solutions, IDLive Face is trusted by over 150 partners in more than 70 countries.
