Inside DHS's Independent Evaluation of Identity Verification Vendors

Most identity verification performance claims come from the vendors making them. Accuracy rates, pass rates, and fraud catch rates are often measured on each vendor’s own terms, with their own data, under conditions they choose. That makes it hard to know how any tool will actually hold up once it’s in front of real users and real attackers.

In this session, the Department of Homeland Security and Microblink discuss the DHS Remote Identity Validation Rally (RIVR), a neutral evaluation that tested identity verification tools available today under real-world conditions.

We cover:

• Why independent, third-party evaluation matters, and what it shows that vendor-reported results can’t
• What RIVR tested, how it reflected real-world conditions, and what the results tell us about where the industry stands today
• How to read benchmark results, and how you can use independent benchmarks to make better decisions for your own team
