Developer-first face authentication start-up YooniK consolidates top-tier status and paves the way for fully private and handsfree experiences
YooniK has announced that the latest version of their facial authentication algorithm YooniK Face was independently ranked as top 5 for accuracy in the combined business regions of Europe and Americas in live-to-live photo comparison of the latest NIST vendor test report.
In less than a year, error rates of the YooniK Face™ authentication algorithm in the various NIST tracks have been reduced by up to 50%, making it part of the very select class of algorithms with false rejection rates under 0.40% for 99.9999% accuracy. Matching accuracy in live-to-live comparisons takes special importance in YooniK products, whose customer journey is based on a live selfie for a one-time enrolment and, again, live pictures for every authentication process.
