Let’s Get to Know More About Liveness Detection!
Liveness detection is an advanced technology that strengthens biometric systems like face recognition. It works by verifying the authenticity of other biometric traits to ensure they come from a real, live person. Thanks to its reliability and accuracy, liveness detection is now used by many companies worldwide. This including a growing number across Southeast Asia, including Philippines. From banking to digital services, this tech is becoming essential for secure and seamless customer verification. Curious if your business needs it too? Keep reading to learn more!
What is Liveness Detection?
Liveness detection allows the system to perform verification, identification, and authentication processes to ensure that the face in the front camera is the face of a real person, not a photo, recording or a mask. This technology basically operates behind the scenes. It will detected spoofing attack features such as print and replay attacks, to observing passive features such as skin texture. This system can be used for security needs and legal protection in the event of a breach due to data forgery. The following are two main categories of liveliness detection:
- Active: Asking the user to perform an action that cannot be easily duplicated by spoofing. It may also combine several modalities of challenges given, for example challenging the user to turn left/right and open their mouth.
- Passive: Using algorithms to detect indicators of spoofing without user interaction. High-quality biometric data capture during enrollment improves the performance of the algorithm for detecting suitability and liveness.
Here are The Key Benefits of Liveness Detection Technology
The implementation of liveness detection is currently widely used. It’s because this technology is considered to have a much better security aspect compared to other security protocols. Here are some of its advantages that you need to know:
1. Based on machine learning
Liveness detection technology has the ability to analyze a person’s biometric data. Including fingerprints, faces, voices, or others, using machine learning algorithms which are part of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Thanks to machine learning, this technology method is able to detect a person’s biometrics more accurately. That way, this method will provide better protection for consumer identity, even the accuracy level can reach 99.8%.
Moreover, this technology also applies a deep learning system from artificial intelligence that allows preventing misuse of photos, videos, or similar data to fake a person’s identity. For example, if someone tries to access someone’s account by using a photo of the account owner or a recording of the account owner who is not at the same time, this technology will detect it as a fraud.
2. Easy to integrate with the use of mobile devices
The role of liveness detection technology is increasingly easy to implement in authentication systems thanks to the ease of integration with mobile devices. Many smartphones have implemented this technology in the form of facial verification to access mobile devices or applications. So many mobile devices have been equipped with built-in cameras, making it easier to integrate face ID or face recognition.
In addition to authentication, this technology can also be applied for mobile onboarding purposes. Mobile onboarding is a process of consumers joining a company when registering which requires several procedures for recording personal data and verifying identity. Liveness detection that is easily integrated with mobile devices will make the onboarding process much faster and easier. Consumers do not need to come to the office to register, or need to meet face to face with officers. But they only need to do onboarding from home.
In face recognition, liveness detection plays a role in distinguishing between live images and digital representations of the user’s face with 2D prints, 3D prints, or digital. The liveness detection method will significantly reduce the effectiveness of spoofing and other presentation attacks.
