Get To Know How Liveness Check Works in E-KYC
Liveness Check E-KYC is transforming digital identity verification. By combining biometric authentication with real-time detection, a liveness check E-KYC process ensures that the person on screen is a living, breathing human—eliminating the risk of fraud from static images or deepfakes.
What is Liveness Check?
A liveness check or liveness detection, is a security system that makes face recognition far more secure. Traditional face recognition can match both 2D and 3D images, but it can still be tricked by a high-quality photograph or video.
When paired with liveness detection, however, the system looks deeper. It analyzes subtle biometric cues—such as micro-movements, eye blinks, or natural texture—and can even incorporate other factors like voice, hair patterns, and eye color.
Consider this example: fraudsters may attempt to access someone else’s bank account by holding up the real account holder’s photo to a camera. Face recognition alone might approve the login. But with liveness detection in place, the system instantly recognizes the image as non-living and blocks the attempt. That’s why this technology is essential in modern business security, especially when applying e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) processes in the financial sector.
How the Liveness Check Works in e-KYC?
Within an e-KYC workflow, the liveness check typically occurs right after automatic data capture using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Users are first prompted to take a live selfie. The system then inspects the feed for signs of spoofing or anomalies.
If a user tries to present a photo, a pre-recorded video, or any other static media, the detection fails because the subject is identified as a non-living object. Conversely, a genuine user is recognized as a living person, allowing the process to continue.
This step is not standalone—it integrates with other biometric verification stages, such as matching the selfie to official population records. Despite the multiple layers of security, the entire liveness check is extremely fast, ensuring accurate results without slowing down customer onboarding.
