The Benefits of Biometric Liveness in Fraud Detection
Biometric authentication was once the most robust security measure. It used hard-to-impersonate biological traits like fingerprints to verify identity. However, nowadays, biometric authentication is not all secure. Fraudsters can bypass the authentication with 3D-printed masks, fake fingerprints, and eye replicas. Biometric liveness detection helps seal the vulnerability of traditional biometric authentication. This security algorithm uses […]

How Does Deepfake Detection Work?
Deepfakes use a form of artificial intelligence called deep learning to make images of fake events or videos appear natural. These can entail creating fake photos from scratch that seem authentic, using voice skins, or even voice clones of public figures. Deepfakes are becoming a severe issue in many industries. However, with deepfake detection, companies […]
