ENISA report on Remote ID Proofing Good Practices
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, is the Union’s agency dedicated to achieving a common level of cybersecurity across Europe. The Agency works together with stakeholders, through knowledge sharing, to strengthen trust in the digital economy and infrastructure. We were very happy to contribute, alongside colleagues from other stakeholders, to ENISA’s report on Remote ID Proofing – Good practices. The report is in response to recent developments in attacks, particularly deepfakes, causing concern about identity proofing, with the goal of increasing awareness and assisting in risk analysis practices. The report identified two areas of attacks: Biometric and injection attacks

Yoti MyFace Match development and improvement
Yoti MyFace Match is what’s known as a 1:1 and 1:N face matching solution. The technology compares a single image with another image or set of images in real time to determine if it is the same person. Yoti licences this facial recognition technology to businesses wanting to be sure that, for example, the right person is accessing their online accounts. MyFace Match is also useful to businesses because they invite users to opt-in to be ‘verified’ and then be required to provide consent whenever their image or content is published. In the case of live streaming, businesses can monitor

Combatting deepfakes online
It’s concerning to see how innovative artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to create deepfakes that are spreading disingenuous information and explicit images online. Deepfakes are realistic videos or images created by generative AI. Fraudsters can now use advanced algorithms to manipulate visual and audio elements that mimic real people. This fake content shows people doing or saying things they never did. Two prominent individuals have recently been targets of deepfake scams. A video featuring Taylor Swift generated by artificial intelligence was used to promote a fraudulent cookware competition, and explicit AI-generated images of her were widely circulated online. Additionally,

The importance of anti-spoofing for facial age estimation
It has been claimed that facial age estimation technology can be easily spoofed. The proliferation of news on generative AI and deepfakes has added to the conversation, and there is doubt and concern over the security of online safety systems. Suffice to say, we’ve thought of that. We have developed a suite of anti-spoofing tools to ensure your check is real, valid and accurate. Our experience working with organisations to implement age verification has enabled us to identify and cover risks and vulnerabilities. When we perform an age estimation check, we are actually performing a number of security checks simultaneously.
