THE CHALLENGE
Security Gains. UX & Privacy Pains.
Static Credentials Invite Fraud
Passwords and OTPs create friction and expose users to AI-driven impersonation, phishing, and account takeover.
Bad UX. Big Risk.
Device-bound biometrics are linked only to a single device. And centralized biometrics introduce privacy, security, and compliance concerns.
Stricter Mandates, Higher Stakes
You must verify your users. But you can’t store biometric data in ways that’ll increase compliance and audit risks.
THE SOLUTION
Privacy-Proven,
Zero-Knowledge Biometrics
Break the trade-off between privacy and security. With privacy-preserving biometrics, one quick glance is all it takes to securely authenticate a user and their device.
Designed for modern customer, workforce, B2B, and frontline use cases, zero-knowledge biometrics work everywhere your users are. Without exposing or storing biometric data in a retrievable or reconstructable form, it delivers fast, compliant authentication across devices and channels. Cleaner experiences. Stronger assurance. Built-in privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a biometric solution is a big decision. We’re here to help. We’ve got answers to common questions about our zero-knowledge biometrics.
Local biometrics store data on the device itself, and centralized biometrics store data on the cloud within an organization’s system. Ping’s zero-knowledge biometrics are decentralized, and they use privacy-preserving cryptographic techniques designed to ensure biometric information is never stored in a retrievable or reconstructable form. Even during authentication, data is encrypted and protected, preventing exposure, misuse, or linkage back to the original image.
Yes. Our zero-knowledge biometrics solution integrates with Ping Identity or any IdP, and it fits into existing authentication flows without requiring architectural changes. You can add privacy-preserving biometric authentication to your current identity stack, including Ping deployments.
Yes. Ping’s solution can be used in combination with any leading IDV provider for authentication use cases. During login, step-up, payment, or account recovery, user biometrics are matched against their verified identity in a privacy-preserving manner.
No. Users can reauthenticate on a new device in seconds with a quick selfie matched to their original enrollment. This enables fast, secure account recovery or addition of multiple devices without repeating identity verification or contacting a call center. Since the device is unrecognized, account recovery and device binding rely only on facial recognition. The selfie match can then be paired with another MFA method for additional assurance.
Our zero-knowledge biometrics use multiple real-time checks—passive liveness, behavioral signals, and certified presentation and injection attack detection (ISO/IEC 30107-3 & CEN/TS 18099 certified). For existing devices already bound to a user account, each authentication is also inherently multi-factor, checking that both face and device were those used to enroll. Together, these signals detect deepfakes, replayed media, and spoofing attempts, helping ensure the genuine user is physically present and stopping remote impersonation.
Yes. Our zero-knowledge biometrics support global privacy and security requirements. Biometric information is cryptographically processed and never kept in a reconstructable form, reducing exposure and helping organizations align with GDPR, PSD3, ISO/IEC 30107-3, CENTS18099, and CCPA expectations.
