Document liveness is a real-time security check during digital identity verification. It is used to confirm that the identification document presented is authentic and that the genuine document is being displayed by the user, not a photo, scanned document, or deepfake. This stops fraudsters from bypassing identity checks by using fake, manipulated, or previously captured images of documents. For added security, Mitek’s document liveness detection layers seamlessly with our mobile identity suite, ensuring that every document presented is present and valid.
Use case / examples for document liveness:
Presentation attacks: Ensuring that biometric selfies are live versus deepfakes, masks, or static images during ID verification and facial recognition.
High-risk activity: Validating digital identity for high-risk events, which might include loan approvals, large wire transfers, password resets, or any actions that have regulatory compliance and reporting implications.
