Mantra Softech Introduces ASIM - India's AI Sentinel Against Biometric Spoofing and Deepfake Threats

At Global Fintech Fest 2025, Mantra Softech unveiled ASIMTM Multi-Biometric Anti-Spoofing, an AI-powered, multi-modal liveness and spoof detection system designed to fortify national IDs, banking, and border security against evolving biometric fraud and deepfake attacks.

The Problem: Biometric Defenses Struggling Against Next-Gen Attacks

Across national identity programs, banking KYC systems, and border control, biometric authentication (face, fingerprint, iris, voice) has become the backbone of secure digital identity.
However, new presentation attacks-including deepfakes, silicone molds, 3D-printed replicas, replay videos, and synthetic AI-generated faces-are increasingly bypassing traditional defenses.

Many legacy systems still rely on single-modality checks, creating a single point of failure.
New spoofing techniques evolve faster than traditional software updates can counter.
And older systems often suffer from high latency and integration bottlenecks under real-world scale.

These gaps collectively erode trust in biometric systems, heighten fraud risks, and threaten the resilience of national and enterprise-grade digital identity infrastructure.

Why ASIMTM Is a Game Changer

Developed by Mantra Softech (India) Pvt. Ltd., ASIMTM (Anti-Spoofing Intelligence Module) has been engineered to meet and exceed international anti-spoofing standards while remaining fully compliant with UIDAI, MOSIP, and ISO/IEC 30107-3 frameworks.

1. Multi-Modal Fusion for Defense in Depth

ASIM supports face, fingerprint, iris, and voice modalities simultaneously.
It fuses input from these sensors, ensuring that if any modality detects anomalies, the system instantly blocks the attempt.

This cross-modality verification makes attacks exponentially harder-requiring a hacker to spoof all inputs concurrently-and significantly increases overall system reliability.

2. Real-Time, High Availability & Accuracy

Powered by GPU-accelerated inference, ASIM delivers sub-second PAD (Presentation Attack Detection) decisions with 99.99% uptime.
Its deep neural networks are benchmarked using APCER, BPCER, and ACER metrics-matching or exceeding the world's most rigorous biometric standards.

3. Robust Spoofing Coverage

ASIM defends against a full spectrum of spoofing attempts, including:

Deepfakes, projection and mask attacks (face)

Silicone, gelatin, and 3D-printed fingerprints

Prosthetic or printed iris patterns

Replay and GAN-generated voice clones

This wide coverage neutralizes vulnerabilities left open by single-modality or rule-based systems.

4. Flexible Deployment & Seamless Integration

ASIM is designed for universal adaptability across industries and infrastructures:

Deployable via SaaS (edge network), on-premises (air-gapped), or hybrid models

API-ready with REST/gRPC protocols and SDKs for Android, iOS, and WebAssembly

Embeddable into existing biometric scanners and ID systems without hardware replacement

This makes ASIM ideal for government programs, fintech ecosystems, and system integrators alike.

5. Future-Proof and Fully Compliant

ASIM is built to evolve through continuous AI model training and synthetic data augmentation.
It adheres to ISO/IEC 30107 PAD Level 2+, ensuring compliance with UIDAI, RBI, and global biometric certification frameworks.
Its modular architecture ensures long-term scalability and resilience against future AI-based spoofing methods.

GFF Launch & Strategic Positioning

At GFF 2025 (Booth K16, Jio World Centre, Mumbai), Mantra Softech demonstrated live deepfake and spoofing attempts-ranging from synthetic faces to projection and printed attacks-all of which ASIM blocked in under one second.

This launch reinforces Mantra Softech's leadership in AI-driven identity protection and aligns directly with India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) mission to deliver trusted, inclusive, and fraud-resilient identity systems.

Leadership Insights

"ASIM was born out of the urgent need to defend biometric infrastructure from the next generation of spoofing and deepfake threats. Our R&D team fused deep learning with hardware-level intelligence to ensure biometric trust can scale securely, from Aadhaar enrolment to fintech KYC,"
said Rupam Roy, Senior Director - Identity Solutions, Mantra Softech.

"Our mission with ASIM is to redefine what 'secure identity' means in 2025 and beyond. This is not just an upgrade to anti-spoofing; it's a foundational leap that transforms biometric hardware into intelligent, self-learning systems,"
added Hiren Bhandari, Director - Technical, Mantra Softech.

Fast-Start Checklist for Adopters

Organizations planning to integrate ASIM into their identity infrastructure can follow these essential steps:

Define Risk Tiers - Categorize identity flows (enrolment, verification, update, recovery).

Latency Budgeting - Ensure sub-second round-trip performance via GPU/edge inference.

Delivery Model Selection - Choose SaaS, on-premises, or hybrid model based on compliance needs.

Observability & Logging - Implement full audit trails, anomaly alerts, and performance analytics.

Integration & API Onboarding - Use ASIM's REST/gRPC APIs and SDKs for fast embedding.

Threshold Calibration - Tune PAD sensitivity to match your operational risk profiles.

These steps ensure banks, government programs, and defense organizations can roll out ASIM quickly and securely-with measurable performance benefits from day one.
