What is Liveness?
Liveness detection ensures a biometric sample is from a real person, preventing fraud attacks using photos or deepfakes. There are two types:
Active liveness requires user actions, like blinking or nodding.
Passive liveness analyzes natural traits, like texture and reflections, without user actions.
Deepfakes can now mimic active liveness, so passive liveness is now preferred for accurately identifying synthetic identity attacks.
