Abstract
A media stream associated with a participant of a communication session is received. A biometric marker is generated for the participant based on the media stream. User profiles associated with the biometric marker are identified in a biometrics reference library. A determination is made as to whether a cardinality of the user profiles exceeds a threshold number. Responsive to determining that the cardinality of the user profiles exceeds the threshold number, another participant is notified of a possible inauthenticity of the participant.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a media stream associated with a participant of a communication session that is a video conference;
- generating a marker for the participant based on the media stream;
- identifying user profiles associated with the marker in a reference library, wherein each user profile comprises metadata associated with a participant and is identified based on a similarity to the marker, wherein the reference library associates different markers with a same metadata to identify deceptive manipulations;
- determining whether a number of the user profiles exceeds a threshold number, wherein the threshold number is at least two;
- and
- responsive to determining that the number of the user profiles exceeds the threshold number, blocking the media stream of the participant, wherein blocking the media stream comprises:
- preventing transmission of video data from the participant to other participants of the video conference.
A device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor, the processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive a media stream associated with a participant of a communication session that is a video conference;
- generate a marker for the participant based on the media stream;
- identify user profiles associated with the marker in a reference library, wherein each user profile comprises metadata associated with a participant and is identified based on a similarity to the marker, wherein the reference library associates different markers with a same metadata to identify deceptive manipulations;
- determine whether a number of the user profiles exceeds a threshold number, wherein the threshold number is at least two;
- and
- responsive to determining that the number of the user profiles exceeds the threshold number, block the media stream of the participant, wherein to block the media stream comprises to:
- prevent transmission of video data from the participant to other participants of the video conference.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising, comprising:
- receiving a media stream associated with a participant of a communication session that is a video conference;
- generating a marker for the participant based on the media stream;
- identifying user profiles associated with the marker in a reference library, wherein each user profile comprises metadata associated with a participant and is identified based on a similarity to the marker, wherein the reference library associates different markers with a same metadata to identify deceptive manipulations;
- determining whether a number of the user profiles exceeds a threshold number, wherein the threshold number is at least two;
- and
- responsive to determining that the number of the user profiles exceeds the threshold number, blocking the media stream of the participant, wherein blocking the media stream comprises:
- preventing transmission of video data from the participant to other participants of the video conference.
