Release Notes 

March 28, 2025 

What's New 

  • Overall performance improvement
  • Multidimensional Liveness check (MLC) available for NativeSDK workflow (Beta)

June 21, 2024 

What's New 

  • Better accuracy of matching algorithms
  • New Age estimation API (Beta)

March 22, 2024 

Recommendation 

  • For deploying bioserver-core, we recommend utilizing a server that is CPU-focused. An AWS server with specifications similar to a c5.2xlarge is advised. This setup is ideal for achieving elasticity.

What's New 

  • Overall performance improvement
  • Back pressure mecanism has been implemented. On session creation or direct operation (direct coding or direct matching) a 429 HTTP response can be raised if server is overloaded.

April 05, 2023 

Recommendation 

  • Liveness mode LIVENESS_PASSIVE_VIDEO is recommended
  • Security level HIGH is recommended

What's New 

  • Device model characteristics are available when getting liveness result
  • Liveness detection to enhance fraud detection and liveness verification

February 1, 2022 

What's New 

  • Possibility to disable TLS (port 8460) in order to expose only http protocol (port 8080)
  • COTS update for security compliance

December 9, 2022 

What's New 

  • Liveness detection to enhance fraud detection and liveness verification
  • High liveness terminology is deprecated and replaced by active liveness. Backward compatibility is assured.

Notes :

  • All REST APIs support LIVENESS_ACTIVE enum instead of supports LIVENESS_HIGH.
  • Under the /init-liveness-parameters REST API, use LIVENESS_ACTIVE as livenessMode parameter.

Fixes 

  • Monitoring API returns an HTTP code 500 if the service is not functional

October 3, 2022 

What's New 

  • Liveness detection to enhance fraud detection and liveness verification
  • LIVENESS_MEDIUM and NO_LIVENESS are officially not supported anymore
  • API delete session is available
  • Support of certificate in signature header when retrieving the replay liveness result : authentication and integrity can be verified afterward using the Biometric Services public certificate

March 4, 2022 

What's New 

  • Liveness detection to enhance fraud detection and liveness verification

  • Replay metadata: Enrich response when retrieving replay liveness result with the below API :
