Cloud biometric security firm BioID has revealed a new anti‑spoofing liveness detection feature in its authentication system.The new liveness detection feature will be integrated in the BioID Web Service (BWS).The firm says that through the powerful replay defender, neither videos nor 3D avatars will be able to trick the comprehensive biometric authentication system.Additionally, the latest release includes BioID's new patent for motion-based liveness detection.”The new functionalities reliably secure the face and eye recognition against identity fraud and unauthorized access. They detect whether the person in front of the camera is a live person or a replay from another media or device,” wrote the firm.It added the system's algorithms use the same images needed for face and eye recognition, so no additional processes are required. Additionally, liveness detection can be used independently in order to complement existing authentication procedures. Thus, biometric authentication secured through liveness detection makes sure that transactions cannot be authorized without explicit user consent, thereby supporting any company in their GDPR implementation (General Data Protection Regulation). For financial service providers, liveness detection enables their existing identity proofing implementation to meet the Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance.
