In February 2026, biometric technology provider iProov unveiled two major developments that reinforce its position at the forefront of secure identity verification. The company’s Dynamic Liveness solution became the world’s first and only system to earn both the CEN/TS 18099 High certification and Ingenium Level 4 rating specifically for injection attack detection—an achievement validated through exhaustive independent testing.
Additionally, iProov secured a key role in transforming passenger processing at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport through a partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The certification marks a historic milestone in the fight against sophisticated digital threats.
Conducted by the ISO/IEC 17025-accredited Ingenium Biometric Laboratories, the 40-day evaluation subjected Dynamic Liveness to a wide array of injection attacks, including advanced AI-generated deepfakes and other synthetic media.
Every attempt was blocked, with the system delivering a Bona Fide Presentation Classification Error Rate (BPCER) of only 1.3 percent.
Ingenium Level 4 builds on the European CEN/TS 18099 High standard by extending test duration and incorporating complex, high-weight attack scenarios, providing organizations with the highest independently verified assurance available today.
This accomplishment arrives as governments and enterprises increasingly demand proven defenses against emerging threats.
The certification aligns directly with updated NIST 800-63-4 guidelines, which now emphasize injection-aware security, and supports compliance frameworks such as the UK National Cyber Plan and the EU Digital Identity Wallet.
iProov founder and CEO Andrew Bud highlighted the significance: biometric security in the deepfake era must be independently proven rather than simply claimed, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Simultaneously, iProov is applying its technology to enhance real-world travel experiences.
The New Terminal One at JFK—part of a $19 billion modernization project—will integrate Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) when its first phase opens in 2026.
In collaboration with CBP, the system allows eligible U.S. citizens arriving on international flights to complete identity verification through seamless facial biometric matching against their passport records already held by authorities.
Travelers simply look at a camera; no documents, apps, pre-enrollment, or fees are required, though an opt-out option for standard processing remains available.
The solution also supports families and groups traveling together, including passengers with children, mobility aids, or other needs.
The New Terminal One, spanning 2.6 million square feet with 23 gates upon full completion in 2030, will serve a wide range of international carriers.
EPP promises to slash arrival wait times, enable CBP officers to focus on higher-risk cases, and deliver a smoother, more dignified experience for millions of passengers annually while maintaining stringent security standards.
Marisa Von Wieding, Vice President of Operations at The New Terminal One, described the initiative as central to reimagining the passenger journey through technology and innovation.
CBP’s Francis J. Russo echoed this, noting that the program simultaneously strengthens border security, shortens queues, and improves resource allocation.
These announcements illustrate iProov’s dual focus: delivering laboratory-proven defense against attacks and deploying practical, user-centric solutions in high-volume environments. As AI-driven threats grow more convincing, technologies that combine rigorous certification with everyday usability will prove essential for protecting identities and streamlining critical processes worldwide.
