Active liveness detection is a liveness approach that requires user participation to confirm they are real and present during biometric authentication.
In an active liveness check, the system prompts the user to perform specific actions or respond to challenges – for example, blinking their eyes, turning their head to the side, smiling, or speaking a given phrase. Because the user must actively do something on cue, it’s difficult for an imposter to use pre-recorded media or a static mask to satisfy the request.
Active liveness ensures the system is not just seeing a face, but a live face that can follow instructions. The trade-off is a slight increase in user friction (the user has to do something extra during login or verification). However, it significantly boosts security: even an advanced deepfake video might fail if it doesn’t anticipate the requested random action in real time.
Active liveness is commonly used in remote identity verification (like an app asking you to blink and smile while taking a selfie) and is a strong defense against many spoofing methods. It upholds digital trust by adding a layer of “human-ness” check when confirming identity.
Deepfakes themselves are not inherently illegal, but their use can be. The legality depends on the context in which a deepfake is created and used. For instance, using deepfakes for defamation, fraud, harassment, or identity theft can result in criminal charges. Laws are evolving globally to address the ethical and legal challenges posed by deepfakes.
Deepfake AI technology is typically used to create realistic digital representations of people. However, at DuckDuckGoose, we focus on detecting these deepfakes to protect individuals and organizations from fraudulent activities. Our DeepDetector service is designed to analyze images and videos to identify whether they have been manipulated using AI.
The crimes associated with deepfakes can vary depending on their use. Potential crimes include identity theft, harassment, defamation, fraud, and non-consensual pornography. Creating or distributing deepfakes that harm individuals' reputations or privacy can lead to legal consequences.
Yes, there are some free tools available online, but their accuracy may vary. At DuckDuckGoose, we offer advanced deepfake detection services through our DeepDetector API, providing reliable and accurate results. While our primary offering is a paid service, we also provide limited free trials so users can assess the technology.
The legality of deepfakes in the EU depends on their use. While deepfakes are not illegal per se, using them in a manner that violates privacy, defames someone, or leads to financial or reputational harm can result in legal action. The EU has stringent data protection laws that may apply to the misuse of deepfakes.
Yes, deepfakes can be detected, although the sophistication of detection tools varies. DuckDuckGoose’s DeepDetector leverages advanced algorithms to accurately identify deepfake content, helping to protect individuals and organizations from fraud and deception.
Yes, if a deepfake of you has caused harm, you may have grounds to sue for defamation, invasion of privacy, or emotional distress, among other claims. The ability to sue and the likelihood of success will depend on the laws in your jurisdiction and the specific circumstances.
Using deepfake apps comes with risks, particularly regarding privacy and consent. Some apps may collect and misuse personal data, while others may allow users to create harmful or illegal content. It is important to use such technology responsibly and to be aware of the legal and ethical implications.
