Credentials management firm Jumio has added new anti-spoofing features to its ID card scanning service which are designed to decrease risks associated with fraud. Netverify already uses Face Match technology to compare the customer's face with the photo on IDs scanned into management software which produces a likelihood-of-match score. However, the latest version also include liveness detection.”[The liveness detection] is designed to detect even the slightest facial movements when customers present their face to their device camera. This guards against use of IDs that are actually bona fide but might have been stolen or otherwise are being presented without the owner's permission,” wrote Jumio.The liveness detection will ensure users are present and prevent criminals from spoofing the process by presenting a static photo image of the individual.”Continued instances of fraudulent transactions, hacks, and breaches have created the need for better ways to authenticate consumers,” said Jumio CEO Daniel Mattes. “Our mission is twofold: to create a transaction environment that minimizes the likelihood of identity fraud; and to improve the consumer experience while doing so.”The new release aso features a brand new ID image-capturing technology, which allows users to position their ID any which way within their camera view. This enhanced template-matching capability automatically detects the ID edges, rotates, and accurately crops it in the frame, regardless of the angle at which the user is holding the ID.
