The rise of synthetic businesses—AI-generated entities built using stolen credentials, fabricated directors, deepfake communications, and shell compliance artifacts—has created a new fraud class capable of extracting hundreds of thousands of dollars per identity at minimal cost.

Key systemic failures enabling this threat include:

• Static identity verification
• One-time KYC and KYB checks
• Password and document-based authentication
• Lack of continuous behavioral validation
• Cryptography that is vulnerable to future quantum attacks

FaceOff addresses these failures by binding identity to live, continuously validated human behavior and cognition, secured by post-quantum cryptographic primitives.
