Customers using SmartSelfie™ Authentication
Enhanced SmartSelfie™ is Smile ID's most advanced facial biometric solution, combining real-time on-device liveness detection with AI-driven algorithms to authenticate users and prevent fraud.
SmartSelfie™ Authentication
Active Liveness detection in biometric systems involves requiring users to perform specific actions, such as blinking or smiling, to verify their presence. This adds extra security through motion but can be predictable.
Security Level: Standard
Enhanced SmartSelfie™
Dynamic Liveness Detection addresses the limitations of passive and active methods by using randomized, real-time prompts like head turns or facial gestures. This unpredictability makes it far harder for fraudsters to bypass systems with pre-recorded or AI-generated responses. Common tasks include head movements, intra-facial expressions, and speaking commands.
Security Level: Advanced
SmartSelfie™ Compare enables businesses to onboard trusted users by comparing an image on file against user selfie and liveness images with unparalleled precision.
For every facial biometric check, Smile Secure scans all previously registered faces on your account in real time. Within seconds, it identifies if the new user's face has been previously recorded in your KYC results and provides the user ID of any matching face.
