anti-spoofing
Blocks fake identities
Anti-spoofing refers to techniques or measures designed to detect and prevent spoofing—the practice of disguising something as something else.
In cybersecurity, anti-spoofing protects against fake IP addresses, forged emails, or impersonated identities.
In navigation, GPS anti-spoofing guards against false signals that could mislead receivers.
Biometric systems use anti-spoofing to distinguish real fingerprints or faces from photographs or replicas: The phone's anti-spoofing technology rejected the photo of my face.
