Liveness test

Facial recognition allows comparing a picture with a video in order to corroborate they feature the same person. Thus verifying the identity of the user. However, this verification method can be improved by adding liveness test, a simple yet powerful tool to enhance your verification security.

There are two types of liveness test: active and passive. Active liveness consists in performing random generated actions (i.e., look up, down, left, right and open mouth). On other hand, passive liveness consists in sending a short video of the face without movements.

How to activate it

Active liveness: add liveness field to the validation and set the value to active.

Passive liveness: add liveness field to the validation and set the value to passive.

What are the benefits

Active liveness

• Reduce the likelihood of someone comitting fraud by tricking the system using a printed picture.
• The actions and their order are created randomly each time
• Increase the security of the identity verification
• Keeps the verification process simple and secure

Passive liveness

• Prevent print, replay, 3d masks and deepfake videos attacks
• There is no need to perform any kind of actions in the video
• Increase the security of the identity verification
• Keeps the verification process simple, secure and fast
