Veridas, global leader in identity verification and biometrics, is proud to announce that its Veridas ECHO voice biometric authentication solution has successfully passed the iBeta Level 1 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) evaluation following the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard.
This achievement makes Veridas ECHO the first voice solution in the market to pass this test, proving it can detect and block fraud attempts where voices are played through a loudspeaker to trick the system. While Veridas ECHO can detect both synthetic and genuine voices, it is important to note that the iBeta evaluation uses only genuine voices obtained collaboratively to simulate attacks. The iBeta evaluation, accredited by the FIDO Alliance as a trusted biometrics laboratory, is an independent and recognized test designed to assess how well a solution can stop “presentation attacks.” To succeed in the iBeta testing, the system must block 100% of the presented attacks.
“Veridas ECHO is not just a voice solution—it’s a leap forward in security and innovation,” said Javier San Agustín, CTO of Veridas. “Successfully completing the iBeta evaluation highlights Veridas’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of biometric technology to deliver solutions prioritizing trust, safety, and user experience. This accomplishment represents a huge milestone not only for Veridas but for the voice biometrics industry as a whole.”
Unlike simpler, text-dependent engines, Veridas ECHO achieved this with its language- and text-independent algorithm, offering unparalleled versatility and security.
