Confidence Compatible with Fact?

In response to a call from Dr Vladas Leonas, GAICD, FACS, FIEAust, I left the following message on this site — https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-vladas-leonas-gaicd-facs-fieaust-16622b_digitally-onboard-customers-by-linking-their-activity-7035492835080491008-4SfD

“That those people confidently makes such a claim as “Digitally onboard customers by linking their face to their identity document” should be interpreted that their face verification technology is so advanced that its False Acceptance Rate is zero when the corresponding False Rejection Rate is zero in actual use environment, both indoor and outdoor.” with a cartoon of a house with two doors placed in parallel — one protected by a password and one protected by biometrics.

Then I saw a response from the vendor in question reading “I agree in part with your cartoon, passwords are a weak point but companies should make step up choices based on access to vulnerabilities. A password can let you view harmless info, but in order to take any actions biometrics should be applied to apply a more secure layer. You can see face non match rate in iBeta testing — https://www.ibeta.com/iso-30107-3-presentation-attack-detection-confirmation-letters/. Our tested face matching currently sits at 99.997% accuracy with improvements on their way.”

We know too well that what looks fine in the lab is not necessarily fine in the real world. Below is my further comment.

“Is your figure of 99.997% the ERR? Is the figure verified as an empirical data by a third party? If yes, who did it? (empirical = actually measured in real use environments, both indoor and outdoor)” with the schema of two graphs on false acceptance, false rejection and EER.

3 days have since passed. When I am given their answer, I would quickly share it with the audience in public.

Incidentally, the meaning of 2 doors placed in parallel is visually dissected in this 2-minute video — “Biometrics in Cyber Space” https://youtu.be/wuhB5vxKYlg
