Overview

Why anti-spoofing is critical for National ID programs

National ID programs form the foundation of digital public infrastructure (DPI) and are vital to creating safe, seamless everyday life for millions - and to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal 16: legal identity for all by 2030.

But as cyber threats, fraud, and advanced AI-driven spoofing techniques evolve at record speed, many systems can no longer keep up the requested level of security. To ensure trust, security, and authenticity, National ID programs need bulletproof anti-spoofing that is always one step ahead.

That's where ASIM comes in. Our AI-driven anti-spoofing and liveness detection delivers future-proof protection - with no costly retrofits, no compromises, and effortless integration into existing ecosystems.

Challenges in Today's Biometric Defenses

Biometric spoof attacks are accelerating, and current defenses are struggling to keep up:

  • Deepfakes, silicone masks, and 3D-printed ridges bypass single-modality checks
  • Single point of failure when one modality passes but another fails
  • Legacy systems struggle with high loads and network latency
  • National ID programs require stronger security to prevent fraud

ASIM™ Advanced Multi-Biometric Protection

ASIM™ provides comprehensive anti-spoofing with these key advantages:

  • Multi-modal design (face, fingerprint, iris, voice) forces attackers to spoof all modalities
  • Fusion logic resolves conflicts and blocks when any modality shows anomalies
  • Real-time performance with <1s decisions and 99.99% availability
  • Benchmark-grade accuracy validated against APCER/BPCER/ACER metrics
