Liveness Detection Software

Unlike standard selfie and liveness tools, SEON pairs biometric signals with fraud intelligence and centralizes all decisioning in a unified fraud, IDV and AML Command Center.

Verify Digital Trust, Selfie & Document Liveness

Eliminate User Friction

  • Guide users through clear, on-screen prompts to capture a sharp selfie and ID photo on the first try
  • Run passive checks in the background so users stay focused on taking good photos, not following gestures
  • Verify the face and document together in seconds to confirm both are real and belong to the same person

Unmask Sophisticated Attacks

  • Detect pre-recorded videos, browser attacks, printed photos, physical masks and other digital spoofs or injection attacks
  • Expose deepfakes by checking for real digital history and behavioral consistency
  • Verify document liveness to confirm the ID is a real card, not a photocopy or screen display

See Everything in One Dashboard

  • Review flagged sessions with full context across document, selfie and fraud data
  • Investigate faster without switching between tools or losing key details
  • Use one SDK to integrate fraud, IDV and AML without managing multiple vendors or complex integrations

Verify Liveness Across Multiple Dimensions In Seconds

Guide customers through passive selfie and document capture with clear instructions that ensure perfect photos on the first try. No awkward movements required.

Analyze the Intent First

Before the camera even opens, SEON analyzes fraud signals across email, phone number, IP and the user’s device to establish a baseline trust. Even convincing deepfakes faces can’t hide the absence of legitimate online history.

Capture the ID Document & Selfie

Customers receive clear, real-time instructions to capture both their face and ID document in seconds through a simple, passive process.

Detect Presentation & Injection Attacks

Simultaneously detect injection attacks, browser-based spoofing, presentation attacks and manipulated streams in real-time.

Catch Organized Fraud Rings

Compare faces across sessions to spot the same person using multiple IDs or the same ID used by different people.

Get an Automated Decision in Seconds

Combine all verification layers into one risk decision, giving you the complete picture in one verdict.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is liveness detection in identity verification?

Liveness detection is a biometric check that confirms a real, live person is present during identity verification, not a photo, replayed video, mask, or deepfake. It adds “proof of presence” on top of face matching, so verification isn’t just about whether two faces look alike, it’s about confirming the person behind the screen is real.

What’s the difference between active, passive, and hybrid liveness detection?

Active liveness asks the user to do prompts such as blinking, smiling or turning their head to proove real-time presence. Passive liveness runs in the background by analyzing cues like motion, texture, and light without explicit user interaction, Hybrid liveness combines both approaches, applying stronger checks only when risk is higher and minimizing friction for low-risk users.

What is document liveness detection, and how is it different from selfie liveness?

Document liveness detection verifies the ID itself is genuine and physically present (not a photocopy, manipulated image or a screen replay), while selfie liveness verifies the person is alive and not a spoofed face or injected video stream. Together, they help confirm both the document and the person are real, and that they belong to the same individual.

How does liveness detection combine with pre-camera risk signals to catch deepfakes and synthetic identities?

Effective identity verification starts before the camera opens, checking device, behavioral, IP, email, phone, and digital footprint signals for missing “digital history.” Then liveness checks for selfies catch spoofing, replay, and injection attacks. Combined, SEON delivers a single risk decision to stop deepfakes and synthetic identities without added friction for legitimate users.
