1Kosmos Achieves Perfect Score in Level 2 Biometric Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Certification

Independent Testing Validates Effectiveness of 1Kosmos Advanced Biometric Liveness Detection Capabilities and Compliance with ISO/IEC 30107-3 Standard

1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced that it has successfully completed Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 2 testing in accordance with the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard. The evaluation, conducted by iBeta Quality Assurance, an independent testing firm accredited by NIST, resulted in a perfect score for the 1Kosmos platform, with zero security breaches.

“Achieving PAD Level 2 with a perfect score offers independent validation from the leading authority in biometrics that 1Kosmos’ advanced liveness detection technology effectively counters even the most sophisticated identity-based attacks,” stated Rohan Pinto, CTO of 1Kosmos. “This certification provides customers with the assurance that 1Kosmos meets and exceeds the ISO/IEC 30107-3 security standard for phishing-resistant identity verification and authentication.”

PAD Level 2 testing assesses a biometric system’s capability to distinguish between a real person and fraudulent biometric representations. During the evaluation from February 5 to March 5, 2025, iBeta researchers enrolled six diverse subjects and conducted 600 presentation attack attempts across various devices, including the Google Pixel 8 (Android 14) and the Apple iPhone 16 (iOS 18.0). Attack tools included silicone masks, contoured masks, 2.5D felt-printed masks, 3D animation software, and 3D-printed masks. The outcome: 1Kosmos technology successfully blocked all attacks, achieving an Imposter Attack Presentation Accept Rate (IAPAR) of 0%.

In addition to receiving the PAD Level 2 certification, 1Kosmos has demonstrated it meets the highest security and compliance standards, including NIST 800-63-3, FIDO2, ISO 27001 and SOC2. For more information, visit: https://www.1kosmos.com/compliance/.
