SMU’s FaceLive: Simple and better than current facial recognition tech

Researchers at SMU have developed FaceLive, a new face authentication technology to further secure the current facial recognition technology that’s prone to face biometric hacks. Lee Kong Chian Fellow and Associate Professor of Information Systems Li Yingjiu from the Secure Mobile Centre in SMU said that “media-based facial forgery attacks pose a severe threat to existing face authentication systems.” While facial recognition is one of the secured methods to access mobile data, it’s not entirely hack-proof.
