Genuine Presence (liveness outcome)

Genuine presence is the affirmative result of a liveness check confirming a real person is present during biometric capture. It underpins remote onboarding and step-up authentication by ensuring the selfie or video is not a replay, mask, or synthetic media. Systems derive this outcome from active prompts, passive cues, or depth sensors and pair it with secure capture, device attestation, and quality thresholds. Because false accepts carry high fraud risk, thresholds are tuned by scenario, and outcomes feed risk engines along with document checks and registry hits. Programs should log evidence, SDK versions, and decisions, and periodically validate performance with attack testing. A clear genuine-presence signal reduces impersonation, improves regulator confidence, and enables lower friction elsewhere in the flow.
