IBG tests biometric systems for performance, accuracy, and usability. The industry's leading authority on real-world accuracy and performance testing, IBG has tested hundreds of fingerprint, face recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, hand geometry, and emerging biometric systems for government and commercial clients. IBG has performed Comparative Biometric Testing since 1999, and delivered groundbreaking iris recognition test results to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2004-2005.

Biometric Performance Certification
IBG certifies biometric product performance through controlled tests such as Comparative Biometric Testing, maintaining a list of products that meet accuracy and usability criteria. IBG's Biometric Performance Certification program, based on standards-compliant performance testing, is the only testing of its kind to generate detailed performance data relevant to deployers. Biometric Performance Certification simplifies procurement and partnership decisions for government agencies, systems integrators, and other commercial and government organization deploying systems or investing in biometrics companies.

Comparative Biometric Testing
IBG tests end-to-end biometric system performance through its standards-complaint Comparative Biometric Testing, the longest-running continuous test effort in the biometric industry. Since 1999, IBG has generated detailed accuracy and usability statistics for dozens of fingerprint, face recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, and other leading technologies. Participation in Comparative Biometric Testing exposes vendor technologies to an audience of thousands of biometric deployers, technology partners, and systems integration professionals. Read More

Spoof 2007
Spoof 2007 is a Financial Services Technology Consortium project that tests various biometric systems' resistance to spoofing. Leading vendors will be invited to participate in 1Q07. Spoofing has long been overlooked in exchange for basic performance metrics and a systematic study of spoofing is necessary in order to ensure the complete integrity of biometric systems.

Vulnerability and Penetration Testing
International Biometric Group performs custom Vulnerability and Penetration Testing of biometric devices and systems. IBG evaluates resistance to spoof attacks, replay attacks, communication attacks, and other attempts to defeat or circumvent biometric systems. Read More

Customized Testing
IBG performs custom tests for emerging biometric technologies and for firms who need to evaluate sensitive or differentiating aspects of their technology. Read More
