Furthermore, these measures will protect our clients from unauthorized use of their Deribit account.  Since September 2021 we have added another security measure to our KYC process. New individual (non-corporate) clients are required to complete a liveness check. This means an extra step in the verification process where a new user has to look into the camera, so our ID verification software can check if the person is the same person as the person in the ID that has been provided. This way, we minimize identity fraud.  Existing clients do not have to complete the additional step of the liveness check.
