Snapdragon Summit 2022: trinamiX Face Authentication running on new Snapdragon mobile platform

Demonstration of behind-OLED integration into smartphone reference design by Qualcomm Technologies

Your smartphone has turned into your wallet, your photo album, your contact list – storing everything you value the most. We give it the protection it deserves.

All your personal data is stored on your smartphone. It’s your most precious memories captured in photos and videos. It’s the communication with all the important people in your life. You carry them with you anywhere you go, only a few touches away. It can't get any more convenient – and worth protecting.

trinamiX provides your smartphone with highest protection to keep every bit of your personal data safe from unauthorized access.

At Snapdragon Summit 2022 we revealed how:

Demonstration of trinamiX Face Authentication integrated into smartphone reference design

During Snapdragon Summit 2022, we presented the first demonstration of trinamiX Face Authentication integrated into the latest Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 reference design. The solution runs fully invisible behind the device's OLED display while setting highest biometric security standards for future smartphones. It combines easy and fast unlock with maximum data protection and also enables a full-screen viewing experience for users.

That's how we bring together two very complementary technologies, both focusing on maximum data protection: By running all our software components in the Qualcomm® Trusted Execution Environment, the biometric data collected during the authentication process is fully protected against third-party access as well as any tampering during the authentication process.

Invisible performance behind OLED

The demonstration of trinamiX Face Authentication integrated into the smartphone reference design by Qualcomm Technologies, highlighted a key feature of our technology: Its capability to reliably operate from behind the display. Mounting all sensing hardware behind OLED opens new design possibilities to manufacturers. Future smartphone designs can thus allow for a maximum screen-to-body ratio, while also including an invisible front-facing IR camera for highly secure face authentication.

Users of future Android smartphones can expect the best user experience and usability: Smartphones that keep their most valuable data safe from fraud or leaks and make accessing this data a full-screen viewing experience.

A new gold standard for biometric authentication

trinamiX Face Authentication combines 2D user detection/recognition and a unique liveness check, which was developed by trinamiX. The latter introduces the detection of human skin versus other materials to clearly distinguish even hyper-realistic copies (e.g., three-dimensional masks) from the real user. Thanks to this novel technology, the solution was certified to meet the industry’s highest biometric security requirements.

trinamiX Face Authentication has undergone exhaustive tests and shown to fulfill Android Biometric Class 3 (strong), FIDO Level A-C as well as IIFAA’s Biometric Face Security Test Requirement for mobile payment. It is thus officially approved for integration into Android devices.

Deep dive: The technology behind our solution

trinamiX Face Authentication adds a unique liveness check to common face recognition and detection. This liveness check is based on the detection of human skin – a fully new approach in the biometric industry. The technology behind it uses novel algorithms and system design which were developed and patented by trinamiX.
