I was shocked to see the message in the image below this morning, feeling a bit outrageous. Although this big shot has some expertise in research and investment, it’s better not to speak casually about certain specific technologies.

Not to mention many low-end Android phones that do not have 3D structured light technology, can they not pass Binance's KYC and Binance Alpha face recognition? Next, let me talk about the authentication mechanism of Face ID.

The core data of Face ID (such as facial depth maps, feature points, etc.) is stored in the device's local Secure Enclave, protected by the system, and cannot be accessed by third-party apps.

Apple's privacy policy prohibits third-party apps from directly accessing or reading the underlying biometric information of Face ID.

So what do other apps require users to do KYC with?

The app will call the system's camera (front or rear) for real-time shooting or video recording.

Then upload these images/videos to their own KYC service or a third-party verification service provider for facial recognition and identity comparison (such as comparing ID card photos, etc.).

Sometimes users are required to perform certain actions (blink, nod, turn their heads left and right) to prevent photo/video deception.

If it's really as this blogger says, using 3D structured light, then those low-end Android phones wouldn't even be allowed to register on Binance.

This is enough to illustrate the problem.

As for those fake videos on the market that have passed the exchange's KYC certification, I think it's possible. This article won't discuss it further.
