Liveness, Deepfakes, and the Root of Trust: Why Identity Verification Starts with a Live Human - FusionAuth Webinar

What you'll learn

• Liveness as the Root of Trust : Why every identity verification workflow—biometric matching, document checks, age estimation—falls apart without first confirming a live human is present
• Deepfakes and Injection Attacks : How attackers bypass camera-based checks with presentation attacks (masks, screens) and programmatic injection attacks that spoof the camera feed entirely
• Promo Abuse and Revenue Loss : How burner accounts exploit free tiers—especially on AI platforms burning through expensive tokens—and how liveness combined with 1-to-N biometric checks stops repeat offenders
• The Identity Verification Funnel : How to structure verification steps—from low-cost email OTP to liveness checks—to weed out fraud at the lowest cost per step
• Signal of Humanity : Why platforms moving toward agentic systems and regulated workflows need a reliable way to confirm a real person stands behind every account
