- [Dissolving the Myth of Easy-To-Fake Face Recognition](https://www.bioid.com/2019/07/24/presentation-attack-detection/): One of the most common assumptions concerning face recognition is that it can easily be faked with one’s photo ‒ which, in times of Facebook and Instagram, is publicly available to anyone. Further, if a facial recognition software cannot be cheated this way, then surely with a video or a 3D avatar. This idea is deeply rooted in most people's heads, naturally making biometric authentication seem insecure to them. This article will work on dissolving the myth of easy-to-fake face recognition by elaborating on a significant innovation called liveness detection. Scientifically, this is called presentation attack detection (PAD). E.g. it describes the ability of a facial recognition technology to prevent spoofing through 3D masks, deepfake videos, and photos.

- [Boosted PhotoVerify performance – New release!](https://www.bioid.com/2019/03/06/photoverify-new-release/): Mutual exchange with our customers on the identity market and continuous development by the R&D team in Nuremberg have ultimately catered to our new PhotoVerify release which has boosted performance by factor 5 (!) of the beta version. This breakthrough allows a perfect balance between security and convenience for individuals and companies alike: The False Acceptance Rate (FAR) can be reduced to 0.1%, making it extremely hard for impostors to fake the system. The FAR in this case refers to fraudsters being able to perform a successful identification with PhotoVerify. Thus, a FAR of 0.1% means that, if you had the chance to try the identification 1000 times (which is far from a real-life scenario of course) you would only be able to surpass the technology once.
- [Selecting a biometric security vendor](https://www.bioid.com/2019/01/22/authentication-expertise/): The majority of biometrics vendors today concentrate on law enforcement, surveillance and forensic applications.

- [Catfish identity theft stopped by biometric authentication](https://www.bioid.com/2018/10/26/image-search-catfish/): A catfish is someone who uses someone else’s identity. Most of the time, people do this on social networks to pretend they are someone else. This way they delude others, for instance in order to build trust or enter into a relationship. Unfortunately, identity theft can strongly affect the associated person. If you are the victim, it can take years to get back your credibility. Additionally, if you have been misled by a catfish fraud yourself, it may have various long-term effects on you. Thus, trust-levels on the internet are low and keep being problematic when entering a mere online relationship. This is the reason why Google has a new favorite term looked for: Image search catfish. The aim is to find a software to expose a catfish with the images they use on their social networks. Such software focuses on reverse image search techniques, comparing an input photo with an available database.

- [Liveness Detection](https://www.bioid.com/liveness-detection/): BioID’s liveness detection software is an anti-spoofing tool for presentation attacks and deepfakes. It is the World's First ISO/EIC 30107-3 level 1, 2 and 3 compliant PAD, tested by TÜVIT in Germany. Our SaaS builds trust by ensuring that a real human is physically present during authentication.
- [Pension & Welfare Administration](https://www.bioid.com/pension-welfare-administration/): Social security benefit programs such as pension, welfare, employment, etc. require periodical entitlement validation. The entitlement variation process is necessary to prevent fraud but can sometimes be cumbersome causing unnecessary delays and costs. BioID facilitates the validation process through a secure service, making the otherwise tedious manual administration simpler and more effective by empowering the beneficiaries themselves to carry out the validation at their convenience.
- [Healthcare](https://www.bioid.com/health-care/): Face recognition provides a convenient and secure way to authenticate healthcare professionals and patients — with or without medical masks — across hospitals, clinics, IT systems, and medical devices in multi-user environments.
- [E-Signing](https://www.bioid.com/esigning/): Signer authenticity is the basis of eSigning in making digitally signed documents legally binding. Without encrypted and thus authenticated documents and eSignatures, it is possible for the document's contents to be falsified or for the signer to have not actually executed the eSigning. 
- [Access Control](https://www.bioid.com/access-control/): Grant access only to people who are actually authorized. Biometric access control enhances enterprise security by regulating physical access while making entry as easy as taking a selfie for authorized personnel.
- [KYC Verification with Biometrics](https://www.bioid.com/kyc-with-biometrics/): ID ownership validation is one of the two mandatory requirements of a legal digital KYC verification that binds an individual to his e-identity by preventing spoofing and from using a stolen identity. ID ownership validation is an essential component for most online financial transactions to be compliant with KYC/AML regulations.
- [Home Office](https://www.bioid.com/work-from-home/): Seamless biometric authentication for employees who work from home to protect sensitive customer data and prevent unauthorized access. Bring IT security home with secure identity verification, rather than cumbersome processes that disrupt user workflows or cause privacy issues.
- [Use Cases](https://www.bioid.com/use-cases/): BWS-enabled use cases are widely varied. Some examples include mobile/online payments, eSign, multi-user access service for healthcare professionals, eLearning, onboarding processes, self-service check-ins, as well as workforce and visitor management, and many more.
- [PhotoVerify](https://www.bioid.com/identity-verification-photoverify/): Validate ownership of an ID document by matching the ID photo with a selfie captured from the camera, with or without liveness detection. This ensures that the person is present, preventing the use of a stolen ID. Use cases include online identity verification for digital customer onboarding, eKYC, eSigning, and more. It can also be used as an 1:1 verification “on-the-fly” without prior enrollment, as well as generic face/photo matching, etc.
- [Facial Recognition App](https://www.bioid.com/facial-recognition-app/): Traditional multifactor user authentication is no longer adequate without additional user presence. This is becoming a mandatory part of online services to prevent identity fraud. Therefore, an additional yet simple implementation of a mobile facial recognition app guarantees full-on security in the means of authentication that is intuitive with a great user experience.
