PALO ALTO, Calif., April 8 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and eKYC solutions, today announced the company is partnering with iProov to roll out its proven liveness detection solutions worldwide. Liveness detection enables Jumio to detect if a person is real — that is, it can distinguish between imagery of a live user present at the point of capture versus a fake from a spoofed artifact (e.g., a picture of a picture or a deepfake video).
The rapid shift to the use of remote online services and payments during the COVID-19 pandemic has inevitably led to a sharp increase in online crime and fraud. The Jumio and iProov partnership brings Liveness Assurance™ and Genuine Presence Assurance™ to enterprises around the globe ensuring that the online user is genuine (i.e., not an imposter), physically present and not a sophisticated cyberattack using deepfakes or other synthetic media. With this partnership, Jumio’s customers will leverage the same iProov technology currently being used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the UK Home Office, the Australian Taxation Office, GovTech Singapore, the UK National Health Service (NHS), Rabobank, ING and Knab Bank.
