The paper investigates whether passive motion traces recorded during selfie capture can serve as an auxiliary signal for detecting spoofing and verifying users in mobile remote identity verification systems. It introduces the CanSelfie dataset, comprising 375 multi‑sensor sequences from 30 participants, and evaluates seven time‑series classifiers and eight anomaly detectors across various sensor configurations. Results show that accelerometer‑only classifiers achieve very low false rejection rates, while certain models achieve low false acceptance rates and high verification accuracy, indicating that selfie‑capture motion is a promising low‑friction evidence channel.

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.

FIDA (Feature Instability-Driven Attack) is a new backdoor attack framework targeting self‑supervised facial representation models. It employs subtle semantic triggers and a novel Feature Instability Loss that trains the encoder to heighten sensitivity of triggered features along perturbation directions, thereby avoiding the rigid feature patterns seen in prior attacks. Experiments demonstrate that FIDA achieves high attack success while largely preserving benign utility, exposing a significant threat to real‑world facial analysis applications.

The paper introduces Band-Attention Modulation Network (BAM‑Net), a face forgery detection framework that learns fine‑grained, adaptive modulation of frequency bands in the Discrete Cosine Transform spectrogram. BAM‑Net dynamically reweights anti‑diagonal frequency bands to enhance forgery‑related spectral cues while suppressing irrelevant information, then fuses this modulated frequency data with spatial features using a lightweight backbone with distance‑decayed attention. Experiments on FaceForensics++, Celeb‑DF, and DFDC show that BAM‑Net achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance and strong generalization across datasets, compression levels, and manipulation types.
