Romania-based identity verification company Qoobiss says it is preparing its ONTRACE platform for Extended-Level presentation attack detection (PAD) and injection attack detection (IAD) evaluation under standards aligned with eIDAS 2.0 requirements.
The ONTRACE system combines document validation, optical character recognition, biometric liveness detection, and facial matching for know-your-customer (KYC) and know-your-business (KYB) workflows. By pursuing Extended-Level evaluation, Qoobiss is targeting the highest tier of anti-spoofing assessment, which tests a biometric system’s ability to resist a broader and more sophisticated range of attack instruments than the standard Basic-Level evaluation.
Extended-Level PAD evaluation, based on the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard, subjects liveness detection systems to a wider variety of presentation attack instruments, including high-quality masks, deepfake injections, and synthetic face presentations. The IAD component specifically tests resistance to digital injection attacks, where fraudulent biometric samples are introduced into a system’s processing pipeline by bypassing the capture device entirely.
The distinction between Basic and Extended-Level evaluation has taken on greater significance as the European Union advances its eIDAS 2.0 framework for digital identity. The EU Digital Identity Wallet architecture reference framework references ISO 30107-3 as part of the security requirements for remote identity proofing, and several EU member states are expected to require Extended-Level conformance for identity verification services participating in the wallet ecosystem.
Qoobiss says the ONTRACE platform processes identity documents from more than 200 countries and territories and supports automated verification workflows that combine document authenticity checks with biometric matching. The company serves clients in financial services, telecommunications, and government sectors, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe.
The pursuit of Extended-Level evaluation reflects a broader industry trend toward more rigorous anti-spoofing testing as deepfake and injection attack techniques become more accessible. Several identity verification vendors have sought ISO 30107-3 conformance certifications in recent months, driven in part by regulatory expectations under eIDAS 2.0 and increasing customer demand for independently validated liveness detection capabilities.
