Practices 01 & 04 · Synthetic media and identity

Made by a model? We find out.

A few seconds of someone's voice is enough to clone it. A single photo is enough to put their face on a video call. We examine suspect media for the traces generative AI leaves, and tell you what can be shown about whether a model made it.

What we examine

Every kind of generated media.

Generative models leave traces: in the signal, in how faces and voices are assembled, and in the provenance data a growing number of tools attach. We look for those traces, and only those. For classic audio, video and image forensics, TechFusion is the place.

If you've received a suspect call, video or file

  1. Don't act on the request. Verify through a channel you already trust.
  2. Keep the original file, message or recording. Don't screenshot it, re-record it or re-save it.
  3. Note where it came from: number, account, platform, time.
  4. Call us or start a case. Platforms delete things; preservation comes first.

Voice-clone detection

Calls, voicemails and voice notes in a familiar voice that ask for money, credentials or secrets. We test the speech for the artifacts text-to-speech and voice-conversion models leave, and for signs of real-time voice changers.

Face-swap and lip-sync detection

Video calls, clips and livestreams with a real person's face or a puppeted mouth. We look for the blending boundaries, temporal flicker and audio-to-lip mismatches that face-swap and lip-sync models produce.

AI image-generator identification

Images produced or inpainted by diffusion and other generative models. We test for generator signatures and, where the evidence allows, which family of model produced the image.

Content credentials and AI watermarks

A growing number of AI generators sign their output under the C2PA standard ("content credentials"), and some embed invisible watermarks. We read and verify them, check whether they have been stripped, and explain what their presence or absence does and doesn't prove.

AI-generated documents and text

Invoices, letters, chat screenshots and written statements produced by language or image models. We test for the statistical and visual signatures of generation, and say plainly how far current methods can go.

Practice 04 · Identity-verification attacks

The selfie check was the target.

Remote onboarding trusts a camera and a document scan. Attackers now feed both with generated faces, injected video streams and AI-made IDs. Banks, fintechs, marketplaces and employers need to know how it was done, and how often.

Camera-injection attacks

Virtual cameras, emulators and hooked apps that feed a pre-made or live deepfake into the verification flow instead of a real camera. We examine session artifacts and video for the signs of injection.

Liveness and face-match spoofing

Generated faces, face swaps and replayed sessions used to pass liveness and face-match checks. We establish which technique was used and why the check accepted it.

AI-generated ID documents

Driver's licences, passports and utility bills produced with generative models. We test submitted images for generator traces and template reuse across applications.

Synthetic identity rings

Many applications, one operator. We link synthetic identities through shared generation traces, reused assets and session patterns, so a fraud team can see the whole ring.

What a finding looks like

Stated confidence. Stated limits.

FindingWhat it meansTypical basis
Consistent with AI generationSeveral independent methods find the traces generative models leaveSynthesis artifacts, generator signatures, provenance data agree
Partly AI-generatedSpecific regions or segments show generation, the rest doesn'tLocalized generator traces, AI inpainting or spliced synthetic speech
No AI-generation traces foundNone of the tested methods found signs of a generative modelStated with its limits: new generators may not yet be detectable
InconclusiveThe material can't support a reliable conclusion either wayHeavy compression, too short, or only a copy of a copy available
