FaceTec Boosts Biometric Security with 3D Liveness Platform v10

Published Date : 9/9/2025 

FaceTec has released Version 10 of its face verification software, offering advanced 3D Liveness and Matching technology to protect against sophisticated spoof attacks. The update includes facial age estimation, photo ID OCR, and barcode/NFC chip scanning for biometric passports. 

FaceTec, a leading developer in biometric security, has unveiled Version 10 of its face verification software. This update significantly enhances the platform's 3D Liveness and Matching technology, providing robust protection against sophisticated spoof attacks. The new version introduces several innovative features, including facial age estimation, photo ID optical character recognition (OCR), and barcode/NFC chip scanning for biometric passports.

Version 10 introduces Level 5 protection against emerging GenAI-driven spoofing attempts and certified Level 4 security for face data tampering. FaceTec recently announced that its 3D biometric liveness detection technology successfully stopped all Level 4 spoof and bypass attack attempts in an independent assessment by Praetorian Security. This achievement underscores the platform's reliability and security in high-value environments.

The update also includes highly accurate 3D age estimation, a feature that can be particularly valuable in age verification processes. Additionally, FaceTec now offers unlimited photo ID scans with OCR support for over 2,100 officially recognized OCR templates. The platform now accommodates multiple forms of ID verification, making it a versatile solution for various industries.

One of the key enhancements in Version 10 is the introduction of Universal 3D FaceVectors for privacy-preserving biometric data storage. This feature ensures that biometric data is stored securely and efficiently, maintaining user privacy and compliance with data protection regulations. Performance has also been optimized, with 50 percent faster 3D FaceScans on average across more than 10,000 supported devices and cameras. Photo ID scanning has been improved for all platforms, and server-side upgrades deliver faster server builds and data processing.

Kevin Alan Tussy, CEO of FaceTec, stated, 'Version 10 of the FaceTec biometric security software is the result of a decade of focused research and development informed by our experience from billions of real-world users in high-value environments.' All new features in Version 10 are available free of charge to existing FaceTec customers and partners.

FaceTec is recognized as a pioneering developer of biometric presentation attack detection (PAD) technology in the '2025 Face Liveness Market Analysis & Buyer’s Guide' from Biometric Update and Goode Intelligence. This recognition highlights FaceTec's commitment to innovation and security in the biometric industry.
