Aware's Biometric Technology Receives Independent Certification
Aware announced independent third-party evaluations and certifications validating the performance, fairness, and real-world readiness of its biometric liveness and identity verification technologies. Aware Intelligent Liveness was independently evaluated in accordance with ISO/IEC 30107-3, the international standard for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Presentation Attack Detection, following testing conducted by BixeLab, an NVLAP-accredited biometric testing laboratory. ISO/IEC 30107-3 defines standardized methods for assessing how effectively biometric systems can detect spoofing attempts using artifacts or manipulated biometric presentations, including advanced attacks designed to bypass liveness detection. Across all three levels, Aware Intelligent Liveness demonstrated highly secure, frictionless performance, with zero false rejections of legitimate users at Levels 1 and 2 and 100% successful user completion at Level 3. Attack detection performance strengthened as attack sophistication increased, including zero successful attacks at Levels 2 and 3, where more advanced and realistic spoofing techniques were used. Together, the results demonstrate consistent performance across a range of attack scenarios, validating Aware Intelligent Liveness' ability to balance fraud resistance and usability. Aware also completed independent biometric bias testing through BixeLab, NVLAP-accredited to conduct testing according to the internationally recognized standard ISO/IEC 19795-10, which evaluates whether biometric systems perform consistently across demographic groups. The test evaluated the Aware solution at a system level for both liveness and matching in realistic operating conditions, with outstanding results applicable to border control/eGates, national ID systems, financial services onboarding, mobile authentication and enterprise access control. The recent round of testing builds on the company's top performance in the NIST Face Analysis Technology Evaluation 2023 benchmarking test, as well as Aware's consistent top tier performance in lack of bias in NIST FRTE 1-1. Aware also participated in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security 2025 Remote Identity Validation Rally, a government-led evaluation designed to assess remote identity verification technologies under realistic and sophisticated attack conditions. Conducted in partnership with DHS Science and Technology Directorate, TSA, NIST, and other federal stakeholders, the RIVR evaluates how systems assess liveness from selfie images, match selfies to government-issued identity documents, and perform at scale across devices and environments. The program helps inform standards development and deployment decisions for both commercial and government use cases.
