BioID is a biometrics company from Germany, developing proprietary software for face liveness detection and facial recognition. The BioID Web Service is offered as a device and platform independent cloud service via APIs. Instead of depending on special hardware like 3D cameras, BioID develops biometric authentication that is compatible with any standard camera. BioID applications range from anti-spoofing for existing face recognition systems to identity verification for onboarding as well as e-signing and multi-factor-authentication for login scenarios.

How does the BioID Web Service work?

The BioID Web Service is a SaaS cloud service offering facial authentication, liveness detection and ID-selfie verification for onboarding via APIs. Its functionalities can be tested for free at the BioID Playground or via a BioID trial instance for developers. All APIs can be accessed platform and device independently and only require photos taken with standard cameras for performing the biometric operations.
