Document liveness detection is a technology used to verify that a presented identification document is authentic and currently in use, rather than being a static image or a replica. The primary goal of this technology is to prevent various types of spoofing attacks that involve fake or reproduced documents.

• Screen Replay attacks – Capturing a document image from a digital screen, rather than from the original physical copy
• Printed Copy attacks – Submitting paper reproductions of a document as if they were originals
• Portrait Substitution attacks – Physically replacing a document portrait, often by simple overlay
• Injection attacks – Bypassing a requirement for real-time image capture by “injecting” a previously-recorded image as if it were live

MiniAiLive works with all standard government-issued documents, like IDs, driver’s licenses, and passports from 200+ countries and territories.

The MiniAiLive SDK is designed to run on-premises or in a cloud environment controlled by your business.

Research shows that nearly 90% of frauds seen are from counterfeit physical documents. Document-centric identity verification using mobile devices is pretty much table stakes for today’s online businesses, and savvy fraudsters come prepared to onboard using realistic looking, but fake digital id documents. Enhancing document analysis early in the onboarding cycle by ensuring the document image submitted is of a real, live document can help to significantly mitigate risk.

In milliseconds, our document liveness detection authenticator analyzes hundreds of datapoints in the document image presented and looks for subtle nuances invisible to the human eye, such as color shifts, image patterns and textures. It then scores the authenticity of the document and transmits the liveness check score to the customer.
