Biometric authentication offers fast and seamless user identification, but it may also inadvertently introduce new attack surfaces. Whether you're developing a fingerprint scanner, facial recognition solution, or palm vein scanner, ensuring resilience against spoofing and bypass techniques is critical to protect user privacy.

Keysight's Biometric Security Testing Services help you validate the security of your biometric systems under real-world attack conditions—enabling confident deployment, improved user trust, and smoother certification processes. We support compliance with standards such as EMVCo SBMP (Software-Based Mobile Payment) CDCVM (Consumer Device Cardholder Verification Method), Mastercard CAST (Compliance Assessment and Security Testing), and Microsoft SDCP (Secure Device Connection Protocol), and offer independent risk assessments beyond prescriptive testing.

Comprehensive Testing Services for Biometric Systems

Keysight provides tailored testing services for a wide range of authentication technologies and use cases:

Presentation Attack Detection (PAD)

Simulate real-world spoofing attempts (e.g., fake fingerprints, masks, printed faces) to verify system resilience.

Injection Attack Analysis

Test resistance to software or hardware-level injection techniques designed to bypass biometric checks.

Standards-Based Security Evaluation

Validate compliance with EMVCo, Mastercard CAST, or Microsoft requirements as part of pilot programs or go-to-market preparations.

Independent Risk Assessments

Conduct holistic evaluations based on current industry best practices and the complete technology stack — even when certification isn’t the goal.

Methodology Tailored to Your Solution

Our assessments follow a structured and customizable workflow designed to fit your product’s architecture and development stage.

  • Threat Modeling: Identify critical assets and attack vectors (e.g., biometric templates, authentication flows).
  • Security Design Review: Assess architecture, data flows, and permissions for potential weaknesses.
  • Biometric solution analysis: Review the system for vulnerabilities and exploits.
  • Solution Testing: Test the solution for bypasses from hardware manipulation, software exploitation, or backend vulnerabilities.
  • Expert Interpretation & Guidance: Translate findings into actionable security improvements aligned with your goals.
