Abstract: A method for detecting video feed injection during an authentication session comprising initiating an authentication session which utilizes a video feed from a camera, the camera part of a computing device that is used to capture video of a user during the authentication session. Next, activating the camera to obtain a video feed, monitoring for the requested video feed, and receiving a video feed. Detecting a time delay between activating the camera and to receiving the video feed. Comparing the time delay to an expected delay or range of expected delay, and, if the time delay does not match an expected delay or range of expected delay, terminating the authentication session. Optionally providing a notification that the time delay did not match the expected delay, range of expected delay, or both. The number of times this method occurs may be repeated a random number of times.

Abstract: A method for detecting video feed injection or camera bypass attacks during a computing device based authentication session, utilizing a camera's video feed. Activating the camera to request a video feed having designated camera settings and receiving a video feed, which may be a video injection of the actual video feed from the camera. Detecting a time delay between activating the camera and receiving a video feed and comparing the time delay to an expected delay. Camera settings are compared to the characteristics of the received image feed. If the time delay doesn't match an expected delay or range of expected delays, terminating the authentication session. If the video feed characteristics don't match expected video feed characteristics, based on the camera settings, terminating the authentication session. The camera security cycle may be repeated a random number of times during a security session and the camera settings may be randomly selected.
