The identity of people on the Internet is becoming a major security issue. Since theBale agreements, banking institutions have integrated the verification of people's identity or Know Your Customer (KYC) in their registration process. With the dematerialization of banks, this procedure has become e-KYC or remote KYC which works through the user's smartphone. Similarly, remote identity verification has become the standard for enrollment in electronic signature tools. New regulations are emerging to secure this approach, for example, in France, the PVID framework regulates the remote acquisition of identity documents and people's faces under the eIDAS regulation. This is required because a new type of digital crime is emerging : deep identity theft.
With new deep learning tools, imposters can change their appearance to look like someone else in real time. Imposters can then perform all the common actions required in a remote registration without being detected by identity verification algorithms. Today, smartphone applications and tools for a more limited audience exist allowing imposters to easily transform their appearance in real time. There are even methods to spoof an identity based on a single image of the victim's face. The objective of this thesis is to study the vulnerabilities of remote identity authentication systems against new attacks in order to propose solutions based on deep learning to make the systems more robust.
