Face ID Security

Definitions

1. The security properties and defenses of facial-recognition authentication systems such as Apple's Face ID, including liveness checks, infrared sensing, spoof resistance, and fallback controls. Discussions of Face ID security usually focus on how hard it is to unlock a device with a mask, photo, twin, or coerced face scan.

   In plain English: How well face-based device unlocking resists spoofing and unauthorized access.

   Example: "The audit looked at Face ID security together with passcode fallback because both affect real-world device compromise risk."
