Episode notes
AI Deepfakes Undermine Biometrics
- AI deepfakes threaten biometric security by mimicking facial, voice, and iris patterns to bypass systems.
- Organizations must enhance biometric security to combat sophisticated deepfake attacks.
Face ID Identifies Presence Only
- Face ID and Touch ID identify presence, not confirm unique identity.
- Multiple faces can be registered on one device, lowering assurance of true identity.
Live Identity Verification
- OneCosmos uses liveness checks and forensic analysis to verify live individuals during authentication.
- This approach ties biometric data cryptographically and verifies user authenticity beyond simple presence.
