FAQ

  • What is face liveness detection?

    Face liveness detection is a technology that ensures an actual human is present during identity verification. It prevents fraudsters from using photos, videos, or deepfake technology to bypass authentication. By analyzing facial movements, texture, and depth, face liveness detection helps businesses strengthen their security against identity fraud.

  • What is the difference between liveness and face recognition?

    Liveness recognition verifies that a face is real and physically present, preventing spoofing attacks with fake images or deepfakes. Face recognition, on the other hand, is the process of identifying or verifying an individual by comparing their facial features to a stored database. While face recognition alone can be tricked by spoofed images, video liveness detection ensures the user is live and authentic.

  • What is the difference between active and passive liveness detection?

    Active liveness detection requires the user to perform specific actions, such as blinking, smiling, or moving their head, to confirm they are real. This provides an extra layer of security. On the other hand, passive liveness detection works in the background without requiring user actions, using AI to analyze facial depth, lighting, and micro-expressions.

  • What is liveness detection for KYC?

    Liveness detection for KYC (Know Your Customer) ensures that users verify their identity as physically present and do not use stolen or manipulated biometric data. Biometric liveness detection is crucial to KYC compliance, helping financial institutions, fintech companies, and crypto platforms prevent fraud during onboarding and transactions.

  • What is the best liveness detection software?

    The best face liveness detection software should use AI-powered video liveness detection to identify real-time deepfakes, face masks, and spoofing attempts. It should support active liveness detection, requiring user actions like blinking or smiling, and passive liveness detection, which works in the background without disrupting the user experience. High-quality biometric liveness detection ensures users are physically present, preventing fraud while complying with KYC, AML, and GDPR. A top-tier solution should offer seamless integration, real-time fraud detection, and scalability, handling high verification volumes without slowing down performance.
