Ahmedabad, India – May 2025: Mantra Softech India Pvt. Ltd., a global leader in biometric and identity solutions, proudly announces a groundbreaking achievement. Its flagship IRIS device, MATISX, has become the world’s first dual IRIS scanner to receive Level 1 iBeta Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) certification for liveness detection, as per ISO/IEC 30107-3 standards.
This global recognition by iBeta Quality Assurance, one of the most prestigious independent biometric testing laboratories accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), marks a historic milestone not only for Mantra Softech but also for India’s biometric innovation ecosystem. The MATISX certification reinforces Mantra's commitment to delivering world-class, indigenous biometric solutions that meet the highest standards of anti-spoofing and data integrity.
A Breakthrough in Biometric Security
In an era of rising digital identity fraud and spoof attacks, the ability of biometric devices to differentiate between a live human and presentation attacks (such as high-resolution images, 3D masks, or printed iris patterns) is critical. The iBeta certification process involves rigorous testing using diverse attack vectors under real-world conditions to ensure the device’s robustness against impersonation attempts.
MATISX, with its dual IRIS capture and advanced AI-powered liveness detection algorithms, successfully achieved a 0% Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER), meaning 100% success in rejecting spoof attempts. This makes MATISX the only IRIS scanner in the world to be certified for liveness detection for both left and right eyes independently under the iBeta evaluation framework.
“Achieving the iBeta dual IRIS PAD certification is not just a technical accomplishment for us but also a statement of innovation, resilience, and excellence,” said Hiren Bhandari, Founder and Director of Mantra Softech. “With this MATISX achievement, we are proud to have set a new global benchmark for IRIS recognition and liveness detection, driven by indigenous capabilities.”
Enabling Trust Across Critical Applications
MATISX is tailored for high-assurance identity verification use cases where accuracy, security, and compliance are paramount. These include:
- National ID programs
- eKYC and financial onboarding
- Defense and law enforcement
- Immigration and border control
- Healthcare and welfare distribution
- Logical and physical access control
The dual-eye capture ensures redundancy and reliability, even in challenging environmental conditions or for users with only one functional eye. Combined with the iBeta-certified liveness detection, MATISX delivers fraud-proof identity authentication trusted by governments and enterprises alike.
Driving the Future of Biometric Excellence
This milestone further strengthens Mantra Softech’s leadership in the global biometrics space, where it has already deployed millions of biometric devices across 30+ countries. The company’s continuous investment in R&D, AI integration, and compliance has earned it multiple accolades and certifications in fingerprint, face, and IRIS recognition technologies.
The iBeta certification for MATISX is a beginning for privacy-first identity frameworks for the digital age. Mantra Softech is now working to expand its suite of liveness-certified devices and SDKs to support its flagship IRIS device for the new era of biometrics.
