FaceTec customers can now access the most advanced remote identity verification solutions in the market, including state-of-the-art age verification, Photo ID OCR, and Barcode/NFC Chip Scanning for ePassports.

FaceTec's v10 includes significant improvements and features, raising the global standard for remote identity management solutions trusted by billions of users on six continents. Distinguished by its "security-by-design" architecture and the world's only Level 1-5 Spoof Bounty/Bypass Program, FaceTec continues to innovate and expand its industry-leading position in 3D Face Verification and digital identity software.

"Version 10 of the FaceTec biometric security software is the result of a decade of focused research and development informed by our experience from billions of real-world users in high-value environments. We stand committed to continuing to provide state-of-the-art biometric security to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape," said Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec.

v10 features and highlights include:

Increased Level 5 security against emerging GenAI attacks
Certified Level 4 Face Data Tampering security
Highly-accurate 3D Face Age Estimation

More details on the v10 Server SDK upgrade can be found at dev.facetec.com.

FaceTec recently announced it was recently c ertified in independent testing conducted by Praetorian Security for Level 4 Face Data Tampering, Reverse Engineering, and Attempts to Decrypt and Edit the Contents of a 3D FaceScan payload. The testing resulted in an Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER) of 0%.

FaceTec also recently announced the release of the Scan+Match Apps for its revolutionary UR^® Code identity verification protocol. The apps scan, validate, and match a face to the biometric data encoded in a UR Code, with no biometric data or personally identifiable data leaving the user's device.

UR Codes enable legal identity-issuing authorities to provide machine-readable codes that bind together the legal identity data and biometric face data of a code holder. UR Codes offer similar privacy-protecting biometric security to e-passports, but without the usability and durability issues, or the exorbitant costs of scannable NFC chips. UR Codes can be inexpensively printed out and scanned with any smart device or webcam. Any organization, government, private sector entity, for-profit or nonprofit, and even individuals can scan and match any 2D face photo UR Code with a 3D face photo. All required software is included in the UR Code Scanner/Matcher SDKs and is available for unlimited use at no cost to not-for-profit organizations, law enforcement agencies, and government agencies.
