arXiv:2607. 06615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image forgery detection is a critical task in digital forensics, yet many deep-learning localization approaches are typically GPU-accelerated and computationally heavier than handcrafted screening methods.

The paper presents lightweight architectures for detecting GAN-generated synthetic faces, comparing a compact Swin Transformer, pre‑trained Swin‑Tiny and Swin‑Small models, and a hybrid EfficientNet‑B0 + Swin Transformer. Using the 140K Real and Fake Faces dataset, the hybrid model achieved 99% accuracy and 99.44% recall on 5,000 test images, outperforming both pure Swin variants and a CNN‑only baseline. The study demonstrates that combining hierarchical CNN features with shifted‑window self‑attention yields an efficient, computationally lightweight detection method.

Fine-tuned foundation-model detectors dominate face-forgery benchmarks, yet they stay blind to generator families absent from training. We present GLID, a detector that repairs this blind spot with geometry instead of data.
The paper introduces VeriFi, a watermarking framework that protects face images from AI‑generated manipulation. It embeds a compact semantic latent watermark to preserve content, localizes pixel‑level edits without explicit payloads, and simulates realistic deepfake attacks to improve robustness. Experiments on CelebA‑HQ and FFHQ show that VeriFi outperforms existing methods in robustness, localization accuracy, and recovery quality.

arXiv:2608. 08521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Face recognition systems face two distinct, commonly-separated failure modes: spoofing, where an impostor presents a photograph or video of an authorized user, and disguise, where a legitimate user is rejected because their appearance differs from their enrolled template due to accessories, facial hair, illumination, or pose.

arXiv:2607. 03581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The widespread adoption of facial masks, accelerated by COVID-19 and mandated in security-sensitive settings, has exposed limitations of conventional face recognition systems.
