BlockID produced zero false matches in 200 live biometric attempts on iOS and Android devices. The tests, performed by internationally recognized independent third-party testing and quality assurance organization iBeta, validate the reliability of BlockID for accurately performing live biometrics for identity proofing. This latest certification establishes BlockID as the only unified identity proofing and passwordless authentication platform to comply with FIDO2, NIST and iBeta standards.

“Preventing false matches in live biometrics is both critical for identity proofing in sensitive applications and extremely hard to accomplish. Not only did BlockID meet iBeta’s FMR requirements, we exceeded them by generating a perfect score,” said Rohan Pinto, CTO of 1Kosmos. “Our compliance with the 21 CFR, FIDO2 and NIST standards provides customers full confidence in the reliability and accuracy of our live identity verification capabilities.”
