Today’s AI-powered deepfakes make deception more challenging than ever. Presentation attacks, where a malicious actor tries to fool a sensor with a photo, video, mask, or synthetic voice, are no longer just theoretical. They are now available as a service. Injection attacks can even bypass the camera entirely by feeding a fake video stream into the device. Without advanced, certified presentation attack detection (PAD) and anti-spoofing measures, a biometric system can be compromised without the attacker ever being physically present.
