DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/421e0e1f-bade-4b6d-8cc6-8d01
 fbc7f7e9/\n\nThe advent of Passkeys and Face ID on the web has been a huge
  boost to security and simplicity for verifying returning users.\n\nHoweve
 r\, there remain the questions of:\n1. How can an institution can confirm 
 the authentic identity of an end user when registering these credentials?\
 n2. What would happen if a user lost their passkey-bearing device?\n3. How
  could a web-based\, shared user device handle multiple identities without
  requiring those people to hold devices.\n\nThe established answer is biom
 etric ID verification where a facial comparison of an identity document an
 d selfie image are made\, in addition to liveness checks to prevent presen
 tation and deepfake injection attacks. Many offerings exist today\, includ
 ing from established tech firms such as Amazon and Microsoft.\n\nThe Web p
 latform is well-positioned to perform these sorts of ID check ceremonies s
 ince it doesn't require heavy apps to be downloaded for what is usually a 
 one-time task\, and key tenets of the platform are to provide an accessibl
 e\, democratised and powerful way to interact with digital services - impo
 rtant to avoid "digital deserts" and to enable people in all geographies\,
  of any demographic\, to interact with civic services\, financial institut
 ions and so on.\n\nToday\, the best experience is afforded to users of nat
 ive apps due to the availability of several features that the Web platform
  doesn't have any\, or uniform API support for.\n\nHere are some examples 
 we could improve on:\n\n1. Reading the current lighting environment via am
 bient light or EXIF data - useful for guiding users to submit good quality
  imagery for checking.\n2. Boosting screen brightness\, if needed\, for th
 e duration of the image capture.\n3. Detecting the presence of and accessi
 ng any infrared cameras.\n\n**Goal(s):**\nGauge interest in reviving exist
 ing proposals such as ambient light sensor\, screen brightness. Detecting 
 types of camera via MediaDevices API.\n\nAgenda\n\n1. Liveness 101: what i
 s it\, how does it fit in with Passkeys et al?\n2. Why supporting liveness
  and biometrics on the web is essential.\n3. Standards proposals and techn
 ologies\, past present and future:\n    1. AmbientLightSensor\n    2. Scre
 en brightness control\n    3. Infrared device selection\n    4. Face detec
 tion\n4. Invitation to collaborate with vendors and other interested parti
 es with adjacent or similar use cases\n\n**Materials:**\n- [Session propos
