# Biometrics Authentication and Liveness detection

Keyless implements genuine identity assurance, which combines two important aspects:

* Identity assurance (face matching): Keyless verifies that the person in front of the device is the same person that enrolled and validated their identity during account creation
* Genuine presence (liveness detection): Keyless implements state-of-the-art passive offline liveness detection in our SDK. This technology ensures that biometric data is sampled from a live person in front of the camera at the moment of capture

Together, these aspects guarantee that for any authentication it is possible to strongly and reliably link the current user back to the user that enrolled with Keyless.
