Technology company from Vietnam: iBeta Level 2 success story
Introduction
Vietnam’s leading technology company, specializing in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, set out to validate the security and reliability of its biometric authentication solution. To minimize risks before official testing, the team’s AI engineers partnered with Axon Labs to prepare the model for iBeta PAD Level 2 certification. Since failing the certification on the first attempt would mean additional costs, reputational risks, and delays in product launch, the critical challenge was clear: achieve certification on the first try
Challenges
- Regulatory and market requirements – Clients and regulators increasingly demand compliance with internationally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 30107-3. Without certification, the system’s credibility on the global market would remain limited.
- Evolving spoofing techniques – Attackers continuously adopt more sophisticated methods, including high-quality 3D masks, printed artifacts, and video replays. The company needed to prove that its system could withstand not just basic attacks (PAD Level 1) but also advanced, professional-grade attempts.
- Pre-certification risks – Failing an iBeta test is costly, both financially and reputationally. The company required a safe way to stress-test its system with attack scenarios similar to those used by iBeta, ensuring readiness and minimizing the chance of failure.
Solution
- For safe pre-certification testing, the customer purchased the Pre-iBeta 2 Attack Pack from Axon Labs, which simulates iBeta Level 2 test conditions. This allowed the model to be trained and fine-tuned on a dataset closely resembling real attacks, helping to identify potential vulnerabilities before official certification
- After additional training, the system successfully passed the iBeta PAD Level 2 methodology test: it resisted a series of sophisticated attacks with 0% penetration (APCER = 0), even though the standard allows up to 1%
Result: iBeta Level 2 success
Achieved iBeta PAD Level 2 certification (ISO/IEC 30107-3) — no spoofing attempts were accepted by the system.
Beyond anti-spoofing, the solution delivers 99.9% facial recognition accuracy, including for users wearing glasses, masks, or in motion
The international certification strengthened client and regulator trust, highlighting the solution’s global competitiveness
Conclusion
By achieving iBeta PAD Level 2 certification on the first attempt, the company demonstrated both the robustness of its biometric system and its global readiness. Pre-certification training on the Axon Labs dataset reduced risks and ensured optimal performance, while the solution’s blend of strong security and seamless user experience strengthened trust and laid the foundation for future growth
