IDEMIA Public Security Sets the Benchmark in DHS RIVR for Secure, Operational-Grade Remote Identity Verification

IDEMIA Public Security's solutions continue to lead the market in accuracy, robustness, and security.

COURBEVOIRE, France, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEMIA Public Security, the leading provider of secure and trusted biometric-based solutions, today announced that its Identity Proofing & Verification Solution successfully met 100% of all performance thresholds for Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) in the latest Remote Identity Validation Rally (RIVR) conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate.

In a rigorous, independent evaluation designed to reflect real-world identity verification conditions, IDEMIA Public Security (IPS) achieved full compliance in Presentation Attack Detection, and leading the evaluation in selfie-to-document matching accuracy , confirming its ability to deliver secure, deployable identity verification under real-world conditions.

IPS ranked first in Selfie Matching vs. Document Accuracy, delivering the strongest identity binding performance of all evaluated systems. This top ranking confirms IPS's ability to reliably match a live biometric capture to an identity document with exceptional precision — a critical requirement for preventing impersonation and identity fraud in remote environments.

In addition, IPS's solution stood apart as the only provider to meet all DHS performance thresholds for Presentation Attack Detection (PAD). This result confirms IPS's advanced capability to detect and block spoofing attempts, including sophisticated presentation attacks, without introducing unnecessary friction for legitimate users.

"Ranking first in selfie-to-document matching accuracy, achieving top-tier document authentication, and being the only solution to meet all presentation attack detection thresholds together demonstrate that IPS delivers the most complete and reliable remote identity solution on the market," said Vincent Bouatou, Chief Technology Officer, IDEMIA Public Security.

Remote identity verification systems have become mission-critical across law enforcement, digital identity enrollment, travel and transportation security, and remote account opening. In these operational environments, performance gaps translate directly into enrollment failures, increased fraud exposure, service disruption, and financial loss.

By meeting all DHS performance thresholds and combining best-in-class selfie-to-document matching accuracy, leading document authentication performance, and unmatched spoof resistance, IPS emerged as the highest-performing solution evaluated in the demonstration.
