SUMMERLIN, Nev., Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FaceTec, the leader in 3D face authentication software, announced today its first-ever public biometric spoof bounty program. ZoOm 3D Liveness Detection is the first and only biometric certified to Levels 1 & 2 in NIST-iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) testing guided by the ISO 30107-3 standard, and explained in-depth on https://liveness.com. ZoOm has proven to be the most secure Liveness Detection available for the over 10 billion smart devices and webcams in use today, and now FaceTec is putting its software through the ultimate global security test.
After over five years of intensely focused development, ZoOm has been trained to detect tens-of-millions of digital and physical spoof artifacts, including hi-res photos and videos, life-like masks, and mannequin heads. Early on, many of these artifacts could trick the system into returning a positive liveness result, but they are now easily caught by FaceTec's proprietary AI.
Bounty programs are a tried-and-true method of improving software systems, but the process has not been widely put to use in biometrics until now.
The ZoOm spoof bounty program follows standard bounty program rules, and is open to most individuals, regardless of location. To participate in the program, please visit: https://bounty.zoomlogin.com/signin/
The FaceTec spoof bounty program's goal is to uncover potentially unknown vulnerabilities in the Liveness AI so they can be patched to elevate ZoOm's security even higher. There are three progressively more sophisticated spoof artifact categories, representing Levels 1, 2 & 3 in the NIST-iBeta PAD testing criteria. Each category has a corresponding bounty, which in total equal $30,000 in possible payouts.

"We've worked tirelessly to create Liveness Detection that can be trusted in real-world unsupervised scenarios. Our millions of users know ZoOm is already the best defense against digital identity fraud, but we believe it can become even stronger," said Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec. "We look forward to learning what new, imaginative ideas clever testers will employ to try to spoof ZoOm. And if any are successful, we will immediately create a new patch to stop the bypass. It's a win-win situation for us, the bounty program participants, and, most importantly, our users."
