The principal threats to biometric technology, such as face-matching and presentation attacks, are now widely considered to be legacy problems. Are they the right person or a real person/artifact?
That was yesterday.
Today, the big threat comes from synthetically generated imagery (AI) digitally injected into data streams to create fake, genuine looking videos or images which are indistinguishable to the human eye.
These false images may be used to facilitate passport and further document fraud, illegal migration, human trafficking, non-consensual intimate media, and more illicit activities.
The influx of fake imagery of this sophistication - called deepfakes or morphing - represents the current challenge that both vendors and organisations must tackle.
This survey will inform Identity Week's Q1 report on the state of deepfake and morphing fraud and the industry's current response, with a European focus.
