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
