Accuracy

Definitions - imagine User A is already enrolled

False Acceptance Rate (FAR) - this is the probability that a given user B can pretend to be User A

  • This is the value that matters for authentication (getting into an existing account)

False Rejection Rate (FRR) - this is the probability that User A will be rejected when trying to authenticate again

  • This is the value that matters for uniqueness (preventing an existing user from falsely creating a duplicate / new account)

Accuracy:

  • FAR: 1 / 125,000,000 chance (Apple’s touch ID is 1/50K, and FaceID is 1/1M)

  • FRR: < 3 / 100,000

  • Works with beards, transparent glasses (not sunglasses), and makeup

  • 3-Dimensional modeling based on facial features results in skin-tone agnostic accuracy
