The use of facial recognition technology for surveillance frequently introduces a conflict between its potential to enhance fraud prevention and detection, and concerns about privacy and fairness. BixeLab is pleased to announce that our CEO, Dr Ted Dunstone, shared his expertise on a recent Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) 7:30 Report, offering a balanced perspective on the opportunities and challenges of biometric technologies in the context of facial recognition. Dr Dunstone highlighted how issues like motion blur, low-quality footage, and biases in recognition can compromise system outcomes.    BixeLab assists organisations in effectively managing such risks through accredited and standards-compliant evaluations. Our testing helps ensure that biometric systems are performing reliably and ethically. As the use of facial recognition technology expands, businesses must prioritise fairness and accuracy, and BixeLab is here to assist in that pursuit.

📢 BixeLab Q3 2024 Newsletter has been Released! Our Q3 2024 newsletter, which is rich with essential insights into identity fraud, biometric security, and innovations in digital identity verification systems is here. Key Highlights Include: Promoting Fairness in Facial Recognition: A Bias testing report with New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs (NZ) assessing bias in facial recognition systems to enhance identity verification across diverse demographics. A detailed analysis of global hacking tactics, supported by real imagery, underscores the critical need for robust #KYC processes and advanced liveness detection technologies. Concurrently, the recent exposure of security vulnerabilities within the #IRS and #Login.gov highlights significant risks to identity verification protocols, demanding immediate strategic improvements. An alarming data breach compromising 3 billion PII records further emphasises the urgency for stringent data protection measures and legislative action against cybercrime. In the telecommunications sector, SIM-swap vulnerabilities underline the necessity for implementing multi-factor authentication to thwart potential scams and ensure compliance. These interconnected challenges call for a fortified approach to cybersecurity across all industries. Additionally, we explore topics such as #age verification, Vietnam's successful rollout of biometric authentication, and strategies to combat identity card fraud in Malta. Stay ahead with BixeLab's comprehensive analysis and engage in proactive strategies for securing your digital identity systems.

BixeLab is pleased to share our recent engagement with the Department of Internal Affairs (NZ) (DIA) to address crucial concerns around bias or fairness within their facial recognition technology, Identity Check. In response to these concerns, DIA commissioned BixeLab to conduct an extensive bias evaluation of Identity Check, specifically assessing if the system's liveness detection and matching algorithms perform consistently across demographic groups with focus on Māori and non-Māori populations. Our examination included; Liveness Detection Performance: We examined the system's effectiveness in distinguishing live users between Māori and non-Māori populations. Matching Engine Performance: We measured the system’s accuracy in correctly matching genuine users and rejecting impostors across both demographic groups. In use of this testing strategy to undertake a Level B Evaluation Assurance, BixeLab aimed to validate the systems "fair performance" for each identified demographic, contributing to DIA's commitment to fair and reliable identity verification.

BixeLab is pleased to share our recent completion of an ISO/IEC 30136 aligned evaluation of ZeroBiometrics™’ ZeroFace technology. As an internationally recognised and accredited biometric testing laboratory, BixeLab leverages experience, expertise, and accredited testing methodologies to conduct all of our evaluations, and we pride ourselves in delivering trustworthy, high-calibre, and insightful results.   This standard saw our testing focus on the 3 key areas of template diversity, irreversibility, and unlinkability.   Template Diversity: The “ZeroHash” produced by ZeroFace exhibited high entropy of 7.89 bits per byte, indicating a high level of randomness and unpredictability, suggesting strong diversity across the tested ethnic groups.   Irreversibility: Mutual information analysis between each PI and unsaved precursor code yielded a score of zero, ensuring that reversibility of the transformed biometric data is infeasible.   Unlinkability: No correlation was observed between the PI generated from the same user’s transformed biometric data in difference instances of ZeroFace.   Using our tried and trusted methods, BixeLab undertook this evaluation and identified that ZeroBiometrics™’ ZeroFace v1.0.0 in alignment with the applicable clauses as specified in ISO 30136 for protecting biometric data through irreversibility, unlinkability, and template diversity.

Attention security professionals, industry experts, and advocates of trust in biometrics and digital identity: BixeLab's next edition of I.D. Risk Alerts is on the horizon! 🆔📰 In the second quarter of 2024, we've observed a notable surge in identity-related vulnerabilities. This edition delves into a range of sophisticated threats, including the exploitation of deepfake technologies in social engineering attacks and significant breaches of biometric data systems. Incidents like the compromise of biometric systems in high-security environments and extensive data leaks in countries such as Bangladesh and El Salvador illuminate the pressing need to secure both personal and biometric information. With global strides in digital identity systems, including developments in Australia, Belgium, and Costa Rica, the necessity for robust privacy safeguards and continuous innovation is more apparent than ever. The rapid pace of digital transformation across various sectors means governments and organisations are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals. Proactive measures are crucial to safeguarding citizens and infrastructure from identity fraud, phishing attacks, and unauthorised data collection. Stay ahead of these evolving threats and ensure your systems are secure with expert analysis and insights in our upcoming newsletter. Keep vigilant and prioritise safety!
