Why Presence
Why identity is no longer enough
A valid login used to imply the right person was acting. Credentials can be stolen, voices cloned, faces synthesized, and entire video calls fabricated. These pages set out what changed and what has to be established instead.
Authentication proves a credential. Presence proves participation.
LiveWhat is the difference between authentication and presence?
A passkey proves a trusted authenticator was used. It does not prove the authorized person is participating in this specific action, right now.
Approval chains assume the people in them are real
LiveHow do deepfakes defeat approval workflows?
A finance worker paid out $25 million after a video call with his CFO and colleagues. Every participant was synthetic. Nothing about the call was checked, because approval chains verify authority, not presence.
A detection score after the wire has moved is an incident report
LiveWhy is post-incident deepfake detection insufficient?
Scoring recordings after the fact tells you what happened. It cannot stop it. The control has to sit before the irreversible step.
A pre-execution presence check for consequential actions
LiveWhat is Human Presence Infrastructure?
Human Presence Infrastructure verifies that the real, authorized person is actively participating when a consequential action is requested — and produces evidence downstream systems can enforce and independently verify.
The analysis runs where the person is
LiveDoes verification send our video to a vendor?
No frames, no audio, no face mesh leave the device. What crosses the wire are floating-point scores and hardware booleans — which is why this survives a privacy review.
