FaceLiveness

Enables you to integrate live facial verification and fingerprint authentication technology into your Android applications, offering a seamless and secure way to authenticate users.

Current Version

Name Version

Name	Version
`FaceLiveness`	3.2.0

FaceLiveness

3.2.0

Requirements

Minimum Android SDK API version: minSdk 21 (Android 5 Lollipop)
Android SDK API version to compile: compileSdk 34

To publish your app on the Google Play Store, you must complete a data safety form. Since we integrate with the FingerPrintJS SDK, you'll need to provide the following information:

Question in Google Play Console's data safety form	Response
Does your app collect or share any of the required user data types?	Yes.
What type of data is collected?	Device or other identifiers.
Is this data collected, shared, or both?	Collected.
Is this data processed ephemerally?	Yes.
Why is this user data collected?	Fraud Prevention, Security, and Compliance.

Installation

If your version of Gradle is earlier than 7, add these lines to your build.gradle.

allprojects {
  repositories {
  ...
  maven { url 'https://repo.combateafraude.com/android/release' }
  maven { url 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iProov/android/master/maven/' }
  maven { url 'https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases' }
  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

}}

If your version of Gradle is 7 or newer, add these lines to your settings.gradle.

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://repo.combateafraude.com/android/release' }
        maven { url 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iProov/android/master/maven/' }
        maven { url 'https://maven.fpregistry.io/releases' }
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add support for Java 8 to your build.gradle file. Skip this step if Java 8 is enabled.

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

Add the SDK version to the dependencies section in your build.gradle file

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.combateafraude.sdk:new-face-liveness:{version}'
}

Instantiating the SDK

First, create an object of type FaceLiveness. This object is for you to configure all your business rules:

FaceLiveness faceLiveness = new FaceLiveness.Builder(String mobileToken)
    //see table below
    .build();

Builder method

Parameter Required

Parameter	Required
`String mobileToken` Usage token associated with your Identity account (see how to get it here).	Yes
`.setStage(CAFStage stage)` Used to redirect the SDK to the desired stage in caf api. The method takes as parameter an enum `CafStage` to select the environment: `CAFStage.PROD` set production environment. `CAFStage.BETA` set beta environment.	No. The default is `CAFStage.PROD`
`.setFilter(Filter filter)` Used to change the SDK filter, that has the following options: `Filter.NATURAL` `Filter.LINE_DRAWING`	No, the default is `LINE_DRAWING`
`.setEnableScreenshots(boolean bool)` Used to enable screenshots during the SDK scan. Disabled by default for security reasons.	No, the default is `false`
`.setLoadingScreen(boolean bool)` Used to enable a default loading progressbar during loading events. You can set your customized loading screen instead, using the `onLoading` method below.	No, the default is `false`
`.setImageUrlExpirationTime(Time time)` Used to customize the image URL expiration time, that has the following options: `Time.THREE_HOURS` `Time.THIRTY_DAYS`	No, the default is `null`
`.setFaceLivenessBaseUrl(String baseURL)` Used to enable the use of reverse proxy to execute face liveness. If used, the certificates must be set with the setCertificates method.	No, the default is the original IProov URL
`.setCertificates(String[] certificates)` Used to set pinned certificates for reverse proxy implementation.	No, the default is an empty list
`.setAuthenticationBaseUrl(String baseURL)` Used to enable the use of reverse proxy to execute SDK's authentications.	No, the default is the original Caf's URL

CAFStage.BETA set beta environment.

No. The default is CAFStage.PROD

.setFilter(Filter filter)

Used to change the SDK filter, that has the following options:

Filter.NATURAL
Filter.LINE_DRAWING

No, the default is LINE_DRAWING

.setEnableScreenshots(boolean bool)

Used to enable screenshots during the SDK scan. Disabled by default for security reasons.

No, the default is false

.setLoadingScreen(boolean bool)

Used to enable a default loading progressbar during loading events. You can set your customized loading screen instead, using the onLoading method below.

No, the default is false

.setImageUrlExpirationTime(Time time)

.setCertificates(String[] certificates)

Used to set pinned certificates for reverse proxy implementation.

No, the default is an empty list

.setAuthenticationBaseUrl(String baseURL)

Used to enable the use of reverse proxy to execute SDK's authentications.

Reverse proxy

In order to implement reverse proxy settings, you must follow these instructions:

FaceLiveness reverse proxy

Set your proxy to communicate with `wss://us.rp.secure.iproov.me/ws´.
Use the method .setFaceLivenessBaseUrl to set the URL on which the FaceLiveness must run.
- The URL's protocol must be WSS.
Use the method .setCertificates method to set the certificates, which are base64-encoded SHA-256 hash of certificate' Subject Public Key Info.
- Certificates are needed in order to make Faceliveness reverse proxy work.

FaceLiveness faceLiveness = new FaceLiveness.Builder(usersToken)
        .setFaceLivenessBaseUrl("wss://my.proxy.io/ws/")
        .setCertificates(new String[]{
                "4d69f16113bed7d62ca56feb68d32a0fcb7293d3960=",
                "50f71c5dda30741ee4be1ac378e12539b0d1d511f99=",
                "9f85e26c1ae41f7ac97adc4099be7f2a40759510ab9="
        })
        .build();

Authentication reverse proxy

Set your proxy to communicate with the URL that corresponds the CAFStage you are using:
- CAFStage.PROD -> https://api.public.caf.io/v1/sdks/faces/
- CAFStage.BETA -> https://api.public.beta.caf.io/v1/sdks/faces/
- CAFStage.DEV -> https://api.public.dev.caf.io/v1/sdks/faces/
Use the method .setAuthenticationBaseUrl to set the URL on which the authorization requests must run.
- The URL's protocol must be HTTPS.

FaceLiveness faceLiveness = new FaceLiveness.Builder(usersToken)
        .setAuthenticationBaseUrl("https://my.proxy.io/v1/faces/")
        .build();

Consulting a policy

To authenticate a user, use the .startSDK() method. You must enter the user's CPF, your app's Context and a VerifyLivenessListener object.

`onCancel`	The execution has been cancelled by the user.
`onLoading`	The SDK is loading, you can use this method to set a action in your app, for example a loading.
`onLoaded`	The SDK is not loading anymore, you can use this method to set a action in your app, for example, you can stop your previous loading.

onSuccess

The execution has ended with success, you have to use the faceLivenessResult and check for the results of the SDK.

onError

The execution has ended with error, you have to use the sdkFailure and check for the error results of the SDK.

onCancel

The execution has been cancelled by the user.

onLoading

The SDK is loading, you can use this method to set a action in your app, for example a loading.

onLoaded

The SDK is not loading anymore, you can use this method to set a action in your app, for example, you can stop your previous loading.

FaceLivenessResult

Success

Return Reason

Return	Reason
`String signedResponse`	Signed response from the CAF server confirming that the captured selfie has a real face. This parameter is used to get an extra layer of security, checking that the signature of the response is not broken, or caused by request interception. If it is broken, there is a strong indication of request interception.
