Biometric Authentication
Verify Identity Through Who You Are.
Biometric authentication replaces passwords and PINs with unique biological traits — face, fingerprint, or card-bound template. id3's algorithms deliver NIST-validated accuracy across server, mobile, and embedded deployments.
Authentication Technologies
Four complementary biometric modalities — each available as a standalone SDK, REST API, or embedded module.
Face Recognition
Contactless · 1:1 and 1:N
AI-powered facial detection, tracking, analysis, and recognition. Runs on server, mobile, and edge devices. NIST FRTE top-ranked with a false match rate of 0.000001 at 0.5% FNMR.
- Detection, tracking & analysis
- ICAO portrait quality compliance
- 1:N identification at scale (45 ms / 1M)
- Passive & active liveness detection
Fingerprint Recognition
Contact · 1:1 and 1:N
Precise fingerprint feature extraction and matching using NIST MINEX III validated algorithms. Supports WSQ, ISO/IEC 19794-2 and ANSI/NIST templates. Runs on embedded and server platforms.
- Minutia extraction & matching
- ISO/IEC 19794-2 & ANSI/NIST support
- 1:N database search
- Multi-finger fusion
Liveness Detection
Passive & Active · Anti-spoofing
Protects face recognition systems against presentation attacks — printed photos, video replays, 3D masks, and deepfakes. Passive detection requires no user action; active challenges add an extra security layer.
- Passive liveness (no user action)
- Active challenge-response
- Photo, video & 3D mask detection
- Embedded & server deployment
Match-on-Card
On-Card Matching · Template Protection
The most secure biometric authentication — matching is performed entirely within the smart card's EAL6+ certified secure microcontroller. Biometric data never leaves the card, eliminating central database risk.
- On-card biometric matching
- EAL6+ certified secure element
- No central biometric database
- ISO/IEC 7816 & contact/contactless
Why Biometric Authentication
Biometric traits are unique, non-transferable, and always present — making them a fundamentally stronger identity factor than anything you carry or remember.
Impossible to Forget or Lose
Unlike passwords, PINs, or tokens, biometric traits are inherent — they cannot be forgotten, shared, or left behind. Authentication is always available.
NIST-Validated Accuracy
id3's face and fingerprint algorithms are independently benchmarked by NIST — top-ranked in FRTE and MINEX III evaluations, with proven false match rates below 0.000001.
Frictionless User Experience
A glance or a touch replaces password entry. Biometric authentication is faster, more intuitive, and dramatically reduces friction at access control points or border crossings.
On-Device or Cloud Flexible
Deploy server-side for scale, on-device for privacy, or on-card for maximum security. id3's SDK and API lineup covers every architecture — from microcontroller to cloud.
Compliant by Design
Algorithms and protocols designed to meet ISO/IEC 19794, ICAO 9303, and Common Criteria requirements — reducing compliance burden for regulated applications.
Multi-Language Integration
SDKs available in C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Swift, Kotlin, and Dart — and REST APIs accessible from any language or framework. Integrate in hours, not weeks.
Application Domains
Biometric authentication is deployed at the heart of critical identity programs worldwide.
Border Control & eGates
Automated face and fingerprint verification against e-passport chip data at border crossing and airport self-boarding gates.
National ID Programs
Large-scale biometric enrollment, deduplication (ABIS), and identity verification for national identity card and passport issuance.
Access Control
Physical and logical access control with face or fingerprint biometrics — for government buildings, data centers, and enterprise premises.
Civil Registration
Biometric capture and verification for voter registration, social benefit programs, and civil identity management at population scale.
Mobile & Digital Onboarding
Remote identity verification with selfie liveness check and document OCR/NFC — for banking KYC, insurance, and digital service onboarding.
Smart Card Authentication
Match-on-Card for logical access, PKI, and healthcare smart cards — biometric verification stays on the card with no network required.
