Global tech major Intel introduces Intel RealSense ID, which is an on-device solution that couples an active depth sensor with a specialized neural network designed to deliver secure, accurate and user-aware facial authentication. A compact device, Intel RealSense ID works with smart locks, access control, point-of-sale, ATMs, kiosks and more.

While traditional authentication methods leave users vulnerable to ID theft and security breaches, and with people becoming more inclined to contactless solutions in the aftermath of covid-19 pandemic, facial recognition has emerged as a trend, ensuring highest levels of security and privacy. Intel RealSense ID, which boasts built-in anti-spoofing technology to protect against false entry attempts using photographs, videos or masks, and provides a one-in-1-million false acceptance rate, thus targets industries such as finance, healthcare and smart access control, where in a trustable platform makes a crucial difference.

In a statement issued by Intel, Sagi Ben Moshe, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of Emerging Growth and Incubation, said, “Intel RealSense ID combines purpose-built hardware and software with a dedicated neural network designed to deliver a secure facial authentication platform that users can trust.”

Intel RealSense ID has an easy enrollment process and needs no network setup. The company proclaims that using only a glance, users are able to quickly unlock what’s important to them. Intel RealSense ID combines active depth with a specialized neural network, a dedicated system-on-chip and embedded secure element to encrypt and process user data quickly and safely.
