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
FaceLiveness	3.1.0

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.

SDK Dependencies

FaceLiveness leverages the following external SDKs:

SDK	Version
iProov Biometrics Android	9.0.4
Fingerprint Pro Android	2.3.2

• iProov Biometrics Android: Enables the integration of live facial verification technology.

• Fingerprint Pro Android: Provides fingerprint authentication capabilities to enhance security features in your app.

These dependencies are easily managed through Gradle and are bundled with the SDK for ease of installation.

Runtime permissions

Permission	Reason	Required
CAMERA	Capturing the selfie in live facial verification policies	Yes

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
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

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.

Parameters

Parameter	Required
String personId User CPF	Yes
Context context Your app Context	Yes
VerifyLivenessListener listener Response Listener	Yes

Example

faceLiveness.startSDK(Context context, String personId, new VerifyLivenessListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(FaceLivenessResult faceLivenessResult) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(SDKFailure sdkFailure) {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancel() {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoading() {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoaded() {
        
    }
});

VerifyLivenessListener options

Method	Description
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
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.

Signedresponse params

Event	Description
requestId	Request identifier.
isAlive	Validation of a living person, identifies whether the user passed successfully or not.
token	Request token.
userId	User identifier provided for the request.
imageUrl	Temporary link to the image, generated by our API.
personId	User identifier provided for the SDK.
sdkVersion	Sdk version in use.
iat	Token expiration.

The isAlive parameter is VERY IMPORTANT, based on this validation, the user can be guided to continue the flow or not. In case of isAlive: true, it would be able to continue with the journey. If isAlive: false, this user is not valid and should be prevented from continuing their journey.

Error

Return	Reason
String errorMessage	In case of any error, return the error.
SDKFailure sdkFailure	In case of a specific error, return the instance of the error.

SDKFailure

Return	Reason
String description	Error description.
ErrorType errorType	Return the type of the error.

ErrorType

type	Description
CAMERA_PERMISSION	Indicates that the device does not have permission to access the camera. This error typically occurs when the user denies access to the camera or if the app lacks the necessary permissions.
NETWORK_EXCEPTION	Indicates a network-related error occurred. This error may occur due to various network issues such as a lack of internet connection, server timeouts, or network congestion.
SERVER_EXCEPTION	Indicates an exception occurred on the server-side.<br. />This error is typically returned when there is an issue with the server processing the facial recognition request. This could include server-side errors, misconfigurations, or service interruptions.
TOKEN_EXCEPTION	Indicates an issue with the provided token. This error may occur if the provided authentication token is invalid, expired, or lacks the necessary permissions to perform facial recognition tasks.
UNSUPPORTED_DEVICE	Indicates that the device is not supported. This error may occur if the device hardware or software does not meet the minimum requirements for facial recognition functionality.
