Could you build this?

No Developing reliable eKYC facial recognition and single-frame passive liveness/anti-spoofing models requires proprietary computer vision research, massive diverse biometric datasets, and anti-spoofing certification (iBeta).

What it would actually take: A real implementation involves training deep CNNs/Vision Transformers for face representation (e.g., ArcFace) and complex passive liveness models (texture analysis, depth estimation, frequency domain analysis) robust against print, replay, and 3D mask attacks. The stack requires high-throughput inference servers (Triton/TensorRT on NVIDIA GPUs) with sub-100ms latency. The primary barrier is access to hundreds of thousands of diverse, ethically sourced biometric training pairs and passing formal ISO/IEC 30107-3 (iBeta) presentation attack detection audits.
