Face Liveness Detection for Secure Authentication
Enhancing Security with Advanced Biometrics
Mxface.ai Active Liveness Detection API is a security feature used to verify that the person interacting with the system is a real, live human, and not a spoof (e.g., a photograph, video, or mask). This is critical in biometric authentication systems to prevent fraud. Active liveness checks typically require user participation to assess the presence of dynamic facial movements or responses.
It is typically used in facial recognition systems, KYC (Know Your Customer) processes, and other secure authentication methods.
Key Components of Active Liveness Detection
User Interaction:
Require specific actions from the user to prove liveliness, such as blinking, smiling, turning their head, or following on-screen instructions.
Real-time Video Processing:
Use a webcam or mobile device camera to capture a video sequence of the user performing the required actions.
Mxface AI Algorithms:
Utilize Mxface liveness algorithms that track and verify the dynamic facial movements in real-time to confirm that the movements correspond to a live person, not a static image or video.
Key Features:
Fast Processing to detect live human faces (within a few ms).
Works with all facial recognition system devices.
Prevents spoofing using photos, videos, or masks.
Active Liveness Check
To improve security, you can ask users to perform an action like blinking or smiling to detect liveness more accurately through your application. Set the action_required parameter to true in the request.
