Strengths

  • 3D face liveness with persistent public spoof bounty program
  • NIST/iBeta-certified liveness widely embedded by IDV vendors
  • Works on standard smartphones and webcams without special hardware

Limitations and watchouts

  • Specialist biometric SDK, not an end-to-end IDV/KYC platform.
  • Commonly consumed as infrastructure inside other IDV vendors' products.
  • Confirm current certification levels and supported device list directly.
