LiveWhat attacks does Presence actually stop?

Threat model

What is defended, what is mitigated, and what is explicitly out of reach — including a compromised operating system.

Defended, mitigated, out of scope

Defended: replaying an approval against a different action, forging the hardware anchor from the client, presenting a recorded or generated face to the active challenge, and altering a record after the fact.

Mitigated: injected video from a virtual camera. With a capture agent enrolled this becomes a server-verified control; without one it is a browser heuristic and is labelled as such.

Out of scope: a compromised operating system. A kernel-level attacker who patches the media stack can feed a genuine agent false inventory. Hardware key residency stops key theft and agent impersonation, not OS compromise.

What this page does not claim

Limits

  • Synthetic-voice detection is not implemented, so voice cloning is not defended against by an audio detector — only indirectly, by the visual and challenge signals.
