How do I enable active liveness to prevent video injection attacks?

Last updated: March 27, 2026

Context

If you suspect fraudulent verification attempts where users may be using video injection or deepfake technology to bypass passive liveness checks, you can strengthen your verification process by enabling active liveness. Active liveness introduces real-time challenge-response checks and deepfake detection to prevent malicious actors from using artificial videos during onboarding.

Answer

To enable active liveness for your verification templates, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Templates section in your dashboard.

  2. Locate the template currently used for verification and open its settings.

Important: If you are using the AiPrise Web SDK, ensure you update to version 2.1.0 or higher for this feature to work properly.

Once enabled, all subsequent users will be routed through the active liveness flow, which provides enhanced security against video injection attacks and deepfake attempts.
