Use Someone’s Photo to Fake a Photo Verification
You can take a photo of another person and match it to the selfie photo to verify Bumble, Tinder, Badoo, or any or app.
Using someone’s image or picture for selfie verification will depend on the specific context and situation. You can fake verify effectively by making sure the image is clear and well-lit. Also, the person in the image should be facing the camera directly.
On Bumble, for example, when doing verification, the app will give certain gesture to make as you do selfie. So, one needs to be careful to trick the app because it is operated by AI 99.9%.
Our Photo Verification Findings
Face verification checks if two faces are the same using a distance metric. Apps like FaceNet turn faces into feature vectors to compare. If two faces are similar, their feature vectors should be close.
Popular apps like Bumble and Tinder use this to confirm user identities. Users snap a photo in-app, which is compared to their profile pictures.
Can we make two different face images seem the same to the system? We can tweak the feature vector or the image itself. But, turning a feature vector back to a face is tough. Also, small changes to a face might not make it look different. One way might be to guide the creation of new images in the latent space, but that’s not foolproof.
Enter StarGAN v2. It’s a tool that can create varied images in a user’s latent space. It uses reference photos to guide the creation process.
We made a test face verification system using FaceNet and DeepFace. It turns images into 128-dimensional vectors. We used a database of faces from FairFace. To check if two images are the same, we measure the distance between their vectors. If it’s below 0.7, they’re seen as the same.
Our tests showed that, except for one, all images passed in our model. We even tried making female images look male. Some passed, depending on angle and light.
In the future, we might try making images look older.
We also tried our images on Bumble and Tinder. They worked on Bumble, but Tinder caught the gender-switched ones.
