Biometric Verification That Catches the Deepfakes
One Constellation verifies identity through document-to-selfie face match, active and passive liveness detection, NFC ePassport chip read, and deepfake detection — NIST PAD-aligned, accessible across devices, and built for the volume modern onboarding demands.
Photo-Capture KYC Was Always Going to Lose to AI Deepfakes
The shift to digital onboarding solved one problem and created another. Customers expect to verify their identity in minutes, on a phone, without paper. Regulators expect institutions to remain certain the customer is who they say they are. The instrument that bridges those two expectations is biometric verification — face capture, liveness checks, and binding the biometric to a verified identity document.
The threat landscape has moved fast. Static photos no longer pose much challenge to detection. But injection attacks using pre-recorded video, presentation attacks using printed faces, 3D masks, screen replays, and now AI-generated deepfake video are all in the wild — and the gap between fraudster capability and basic-tier liveness detection is now wide enough that some onboarding flows are effectively defenceless against motivated attackers.
One Constellation handles biometric verification as a layered defence: NIST-aligned active and passive liveness, document-to-selfie face match, NFC chip read for ePassports, deepfake-specific detection, and continuous model retraining against the evolving threat landscape. Built to verify legitimate customers in seconds and to surface the attacks that matter for human review.
Multi-Modal Biometric Verification Built for Real Threats
Layered defence
Face match alone is not biometric verification. Active liveness (challenge-response), passive liveness (texture and depth analysis), document-to-selfie biometric binding, NFC chip read where available, and deepfake-specific detection all run together — with a layered scoring model that surfaces ambiguous cases for human review.
Accessibility & conversion
Customers complete verification on any modern device, including older smartphones. Active-liveness challenges are accessible for users with motor or visual impairments. Capture-quality guidance prevents the failed-retry loops that destroy onboarding conversion rates.

Full Biometric Stack — Not Just Face Match
Biometric verification on One Constellation is a layered capability covering document verification, biometric match, liveness, NFC and deepfake-specific detection.
Document & Selfie Capture
Branded customer-facing capture flow with quality guidance, retry handling and accessibility for low-spec devices and impaired users.
Explore KYC →Liveness & Match Engine
Active and passive liveness running in parallel with document-to-selfie biometric match — single decision returned in under three seconds.
Explore Onboarding →NFC Chip Read
Where the ID document is an ePassport or chipped national ID, the platform reads the chip directly — the strongest possible identity binding.

The features that distinguish modern biometric verification from photo-capture KYC.
Active & Passive Liveness
Active challenges (head movement, blink, smile) combined with passive analysis (texture, depth, micro-movement, illumination) — NIST PAD Level 2 aligned across both.
Deepfake Detection
Dedicated detection layer for AI-generated face content — synthetic media indicators, generative-model artefacts and video-injection patterns surfaced explicitly.
NFC ePassport Read
Direct chip read from ePassports and chipped national IDs (Singapore IC, EU eIDAS, UK passport) — the highest-assurance biometric binding available.
Cross-Device Capture
Works on iOS, Android and modern web browsers — including older devices, low-bandwidth connections and accessibility-mode users.
190+ ID Documents
Document verification covers passports, national IDs, driving licences and residence permits from 190+ jurisdictions — with security-feature checks beyond OCR.
Reviewable Evidence
Every verification preserved with captured frames, scoring details, liveness result, deepfake indicators and document evidence — reviewable by analysts and exportable for audit.
Aligned to the Biometric Standards Regulators and Industry Bodies Recognise
Biometric verification on One Constellation is built against the published industry standards that regulators reference in their AML and digital-identity guidance.
Biometric Verification, Native to the Onboarding Flow
Biometric verification doesn't sit in a separate vendor stack. It's wired into the KYC workflow, the customer record, the risk-scoring engine and the audit trail — one decision, one evidence chain.
When biometric verification completes, the result becomes part of the customer's KYC record — pass / fail, with the underlying evidence preserved. Failed verifications route to analyst review with the captured frames and scoring detail. Successful verifications proceed to risk scoring, sanctions and PEP screening, and ongoing monitoring.
The verification evidence remains in the customer record for the duration of the relationship and beyond — replayable for any subsequent investigation, exportable as evidence in any regulator's expected format.
