HYDAWAY DIGITAL'S REALITYCHECK LAUNCHES LIVENESS DETECTION FEATURE FOR REAL-TIME IDENTITY VERIFICATION

NEW LIVENESS CHECKER CAPABILITY ENABLES ENTERPRISES TO DETECT AI IMPERSONATION AND SYNTHETIC IDENTITY FRAUD IN REAL-TIME

VANCOUVER, BC, June 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Hydaway Digital Corp. (TSXV: HIDE) (OTCQB: HIDDF) (FSE: C88) ("Hydaway" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of a new Liveness Detection feature within the RealityChek platform, now available to enterprise clients through the Company's detection suite at detect.realitychek.com. The Liveness Checker enables real-time verification of whether a person present in a video stream or submission is a live, authentic human being — or an AI-generated deepfake, synthetic avatar, or pre-recorded replay attack.

The launch of Liveness Detection marks RealityChek's expansion beyond static content verification and into real-time identity security — one of the fastest-growing challenges in digital fraud prevention. As AI-generated faces, voice clones, and synthetic video become increasingly indistinguishable from genuine human interactions, liveness verification has become a critical requirement across regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, legal, and government.

The RealityChek Liveness Checker analyzes multiple behavioral, biometric, and forensic signals simultaneously to determine whether a submitted video or real-time stream represents a live person. The system is designed to detect a wide range of presentation attacks, including deepfake video injections, pre-recorded replay attacks, synthetic avatar impersonation, and AI face-swap manipulations — all of which are increasingly being used to bypass traditional identity verification systems.

The feature is immediately available to enterprise clients with a RealityChek enterprise account, and is accessible through the platform's existing API and detection interface. Integration is designed to be lightweight and composable, allowing enterprises to embed liveness verification directly into onboarding, authentication, and compliance workflows without significant infrastructure changes.

Karl Kottmeier, CEO of Hydaway, stated, "Identity fraud is evolving faster than traditional verification systems can keep up with. Deepfakes that could fool human reviewers a year ago can now be generated in seconds by anyone with a laptop. Our Liveness Checker is built to stay ahead of that curve — it's not just checking for a heartbeat, it's performing a deep forensic analysis of what it means to be genuinely, verifiably human in a digital interaction. We're proud to bring this capability to our enterprise clients today."

The RealityChek Technical Team, commented, "Building a liveness detection system that performs reliably against modern attack vectors is one of the hardest problems in the identity verification space. We've designed our Liveness Checker to operate on a multi-signal approach — no single indicator can be fooled without triggering others. The result is a system that is robust against the most sophisticated presentation attacks we've seen in testing, and that we're confident will hold up in real-world enterprise environments."
