Summary

Jay Meier of FaceTec wants you to know that not all liveness detection is of the same pedigree. Testing is critical, so relying parties can know who to trust. Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI) is set to change the game for interoperability. And the VC guys? Maybe we don't need them in ten years, when biometrics and liveness do everything. A lively conversation between FaceTec's Chief Identity Technology Strategist and Biometric Update Managing Editor Chris Burt.
