WebAssembly (Wasm) enables browser-based liveness detection by compiling AI models into portable bytecode that can run at near-native speed, allowing video or image analysis to occur locally rather than on a remote server. This approach can reduce verification latency, limit transmission of sensitive biometric data, lower server processing demands, and support consistent operation across major browsers and operating systems. A typical implementation compiles a pretrained model, loads it through JavaScript, captures camera data, performs local analysis, and returns a live-or-not-live result, with WebGPU potentially accelerating inference further. Challenges include potentially large module sizes, compatibility with older browsers, more difficult debugging, and the need to optimize models through techniques such as quantization and pruning. Didit presents its Wasm-based offering as an identity-platform feature designed to provide low-latency, locally processed, iBeta Level 1-certified liveness checks against spoofing methods including photos, videos, masks, and deepfakes.
