Shufti’s multi-layered forensic analysis ensures real-time face ID verification, deepfake detection and fraud prevention, safeguarding every verification attempt with cutting-edge security measures.
Video replay attacK
Identifies pre-recorded video submissions attempting to mimic live users.
Screen replay attacks
Prevents screen-recorded videos from being used as live user submissions.
3D depth and shape analysis
Confirms facial depth and contours to prevent flat image attacks.
3D mask impersonations
Detects hyper-realistic 3D masks used to replicate real facial features.
eye movement simulations
Detects artificial blinking or static eyes in spoof attempts.
Light reflection analysis
Identifies inconsistent lighting or reflections, a sign of spoofing.
Facial feature obfuscation
Flags fraudsters altering their appearance with makeup, tattoos, or digital overlays.
Shadow detection
Confirms natural shadow behavior, preventing 2D photo attacks.
AI-generated deepfakes
Flags AI-created faces designed to imitate real users.
Pupil dilation monitoring
Analyzes pupil response to light to confirm real human presence.
Lip movement verification

iBeta Level 2 Passive Liveness certification
We are among the few global providers to achieve iBeta Level 2 certification for passive liveness detection, a mark of excellence in biometric security.
This means:
- No user prompts required for a completely frictionless experience
- Detect pre-recorded videos, screen replays, and photo attacks

Advanced defense against face swaps and deepfakes
Most AI models fail to detect face swaps where two different faces share partial similarity, leading to false matches. Shufti’s engine is built to solve this exact problem.
Now you can detect:
- Look-alike faces and artificially aligned swaps
- Micro-level facial inconsistencies

Fair for every face
Eliminating bias isn’t a feature — it’s a responsibility. Shufti’s facial biometrics ensure equitable performance across every user group, regardless of race, gender, or age.
Key bias mitigation efforts include:
- Optimized for all skin tones, facial shapes, and lighting conditions
- Avoid bias with regular audits to monitor false acceptance and rejection rates across demographics

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between liveness detection and facial verification?
Liveness detection checks if a face presented is real and live (not a photo, mask, or video). Facial verification then compares that live face to a stored image or ID to confirm identity.
Can deepfake detection systems stop fraud in online onboarding?
Yes. Deepfake detection helps identify AI-generated or manipulated faces that could bypass basic checks, reducing fraud risk in digital onboarding.
How does face recognition work in the dark?
Shufti uses infrared imaging or low-light sensors, enabling facial features to be captured and verified even in poor lighting conditions. This is why Shufti is known for handling the most difficult and diverse edge cases in facial biometric verification.
Can facial verification be integrated into mobile apps or existing systems?
Yes. Shufti's modern verification APIs and SDKs can be embedded directly into mobile apps, websites, or existing compliance systems without disrupting workflows.
What technologies are used in face verification (AI, 3D mapping, neural networks)?
Shufti combines AI, deep neural networks, 3D mapping of facial geometry, and texture analysis to accurately verify faces and detect spoofing attempts. Additionally, it conducts deepfake detection to stop and prevent injection attacks.
Is face data stored, and how is user privacy protected?
Data storage depends on deployment, cloud or on-premises. However, Shufti supports privacy-first models where biometric data can be processed transiently or encrypted under GDPR and local laws.
How fast is the face verification process?
With Shufti, the process typically takes a few seconds, balancing accuracy with user convenience to keep onboarding friction low while ensuring compliance.
