Remote onboarding is only as strong as its weakest capture. Liveness Detection analyses the selfie for signs of a real, present person, without asking them to perform awkward gestures, and returns a decision your flow can act on before running Face Match.
It works passively on a single frame or actively with a short guided capture when your risk policy calls for it.
