A Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) conformance testing standard administered by iBeta Quality Assurance. Vendors submit liveness detection and anti-spoofing technology for standardised testing against a library of physical and digital presentation attacks (e.g. printed photos, video replays, 3D masks). Level 1 and Level 2 certifications indicate the proportion of attacks successfully detected.
iBeta PAD certification is the de-facto industry benchmark for liveness detection quality. Buyers evaluating biometric identity verification vendors should treat Level 2 certification as the minimum bar for high-assurance use cases.
