By February 7, 2025February 10th, 2025No Comments

BixeLab Achieves Historic Accreditation for MOSIP MACP Biometric Device Testing

BixeLab is pleased to announce it is now the first laboratory officially accredited by MOSIP  (Modular Open Source Identity Platform) to conduct biometric device testing under the MOSIP Advanced Compliance Program  (MACP). This milestone reinforces BixeLab’s position as a leader in independent biometrics and identity technology assessment.

Setting a New Standard in Biometric Testing

This accreditation marks a significant achievement for BixeLab, building on its established credentials from both NIST/NVLAP [Lab Code 600301-0] and the FIDO Alliance. By supporting MOSIP’s development and deployment of its testing framework, BixeLab continues to play a pivotal role in promoting industry standards and robust compliance mechanisms for biometric technology providers worldwide.

BixeLab specialises in all aspects of testing identity and biometric systems, including but not limited to:

  • Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) testing
  • Biometric performance testing
  • Risk audits
  • Demographic bias testing
  • Support for pilots and Proofs of Concept (PoCs)
  • Document authenticity component testing

Pioneering the Future of Biometric Compliance

MOSIP initially introduced its MACP Framework in 2023, setting the stage for rigorous compliance testing. As part of the program’s development, BixeLab has already completed MACP testing for Iritech, with its IriShield-USB BK212U iris biometric scanner, and Thales for its DactyScan84C fingerprint scanner. These certifications represent the first iteration of MACP testing, with future enhancements and refinements anticipated.

Expanding Expertise through BixeAcademy

Beyond compliance testing, BixeLab also fosters industry education through its BixeAcademy training program. By offering specialised courses in biometrics and digital identity, BixeAcademy aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of identity technology.

Strengthening the MOSIP Marketplace

The MOSIP Marketplace continues to expand with new biometric vendors achieving baseline certification through self-testing. Recent additions include BioEnable, Aratek, and Ekemp, underscoring the growing demand for standardised, interoperable biometric solutions.

The MOSIP Marketplace, the MACP, and BixeLab’s accreditation all represent a major leap forward in biometric compliance and security. As the industry progresses, BixeLab is proud to remain at the forefront, driving innovation and ensuring the integrity of biometric systems worldwide.
