Liveness testing, also known as facial liveness, is a key authentication step in the identity verification process that determines if the face being presented during onboarding is live. This check protects against fraudsters who may try to trick the system by using a digital or physical representation of another individual (e.g. a photo or a video).

How Does ID-Pal’s Liveness Testing Work?

During the identity verification process, ID-Pal combines multiple cutting-edge technologies to deliver industry-leading accuracy in verification outcomes. Liveness testing is one of these technologies that enables ID-Pal to deliver next level fraud protection for businesses.

Address E-Verification

ID-Pal’s identity verification solution uses iBeta certified liveness testing software to confirm that the person submitting the identity information is a real live person.

ID-Pal has 2 types of Liveness Testing available on the platform – Active liveness & Passive liveness.

 

  1. Active Liveness leverages software that detects things such as facial gestures, eye movement and lip movement. This method requires a user to complete an action of some ort to confirm that they are real – e.g. blinking when completing the Liveness step.
  2. Passive Liveness does not require the user to complete any action, This type of liveness test can be carried out in a number of different ways, including but not limited to: light exposure variation, micro-movement detection, depth measurement etc. There are a number of advantages to this method, from both a user experience and security standpoint.

Simpler User Experience: Minimal effort required from the end user makes the process simpler and more convenient, resulting in more customers completing the onboarding process.

More Secure: The fact that this method can be carried out in a number of different ways makes it harder for fraudsters to succeed at tricking the system as they do not know which technique is in place, making this method typically more secure than Active Liveness.

Speed: Passive Liveness tends to be faster than Active solutions.

How Does ID-Pal work?

Watch how it works

Our experience of working with the team in ID-Pal was 100% positive. I found every member of the team attentive to BDO’s client and team needs. ID-Pal were professional, open-minded, and available to talk to me whenever needed. Our ask was very clear, in that we required a more efficient, effective and secure KYC process, supported by a client-friendly cloud-based application. Once we decided to adopt ID-Pal, the overall “to market” timeline can be measured in weeks. ID-Pal has proven itself to be an agile, yet fully compliant partner, evidenced by BDO Ireland’s seamless adoption across all departments.
