This certification, conducted by the highly respected iBeta Quality Assurance, is a testament to the exceptional quality, accuracy, and innovation of the technology developed by Armatura. It also positions Armatura as a leader in the competitive biometric industry.
The ISO/IEC 19795-2 certification is one of the hardest certifications to achieve in the biometrics industry. Here’s why:
1. Extensive Testing:
The certification process involves exhaustive testing of biometric systems across multiple metrics, including False Accept Rate (FAR), False Reject Rate (FRR), and Failure to Enroll/Acquire Rates (FTER/FTAR). These tests are designed to push the system to its limits.
2. High Accuracy Standards:
The ISO standard sets extremely high performance thresholds. Even a small deviation in error rates can result in non-conformance, making it a significant challenge to meet.
3. Independent Evaluation:
Testing is conducted by trusted third-party organizations like iBeta Quality Assurance, ensuring complete impartiality and adherence to the standard.
4. Global Recognition:
ISO/IEC 19795-2 is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for biometric performance, making it a prestigious and difficult certification to earn.
This achievement places us in the same league as industry leaders who have achieved this certification for their biometric technologies, including:
Key Highlights of the Certification
1. Outstanding Performance Metrics:
o False Accept Rate (FAR): 0%, with the Rule of 3 calculation yielding only 0.00964%.
o False Non-Match Rate (FNMR): 2.24%.
o False Reject Rate (FRR): 3.05%.
o No Failures: 0% Failure to Enroll (FTER) and 0% Failure to Acquire (FTAR) during testing – a rare achievement in the industry.
2. Comprehensive Testing:
o Tested with 250 palm samples, 1,250 genuine transactions, and 311,250 imposter transactions to ensure scalability and robustness.
3. Conformance to Standards:
o Fully compliant with ISO/IEC 19795-2, the global benchmark for biometric performance testing.
