Secured Signing Reports 45% Month-on-Month Growth in Notary Adoption of Deepfake Detection Feature

   ​

MOUNTAIN VIEW (CALIFORNIA), APRIL 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing (a global leader in Digital Signing & Remote Online Notarization, or RON), announced that its AI-powered deepfake detector feature, Realify, has seen a 45% increase in adoption among independent and internal notaries. The surge in adoption reflects a growing awareness among legal professionals and notaries of the threat posed by AI generated synthetic media used for video-based identity validation and online meetings. Image caption: Secured signing reports 45% month-on-month growth in notary adoption of the Deepfake detection feature. Realify is integrated directly into Secured Signing’s Video Signing platform. It analyzes signer video and audio in real time, detecting deepfakes and injection attacks. Realify is a seamless third-party tool that runs in the background during a signing session. It provides results to notaries with no friction. Deepfake has fundamentally changed identity fraud. Fraudsters no longer rely on stolen documents or forged autographs. Instead, they can use AI-generated voices and faces that can fool even casual observers. The stakes are higher than ever for industries that rely on video-verified identities, such as legal, financial, healthcare, real estate and government. Traditional verification methods are not designed to take into account synthetic media. Secured Signing created Realify to fill that gap – pairing human-led sessions and an impartial AI layer which detects what the eye cannot. What Notaries Say The rapid adoption by notaries of Realify reflects a fundamental change in how professionals approach identification verification in remote settings. Michelle, a Notary Public who was an early Realify adopter described the impact of this feature on her practice. “Since I implemented this feature in my online remote notarizations my clients and myself feel more confident that we’re dealing with whom we say we are.” This feature has changed how I authenticate the true identity of my clients. STATEMENT FROM MIKE AYAL, CEO, SECURE SIGNING Notaries are at the forefront of identity verification and they tell us that they need much more than a camera or a checklist to be able to do their job with confidence. “At Secured signing, we believe trust in a digital exchange must be built upon certainty. Realify allows notaries, lawyers, and businesses to verify that the person on the screen is not a deepfake but a real person. “We built Realify as the tools for deepfake fraud were already in the hands and minds of bad actors. We must ensure that the tools needed to detect deepfakes can be used by professionals who are defending against them. The response we have received tells us that we did a good job. This advanced system uses 3D liveness detection and biometric facial matching to instantly detect deepfakes and masks before the signing process begins. The audio video call is securely attached to each finalized document, as a tamper-evident audit trail. These layers are combined to form a verification system that is extremely difficult to compromise even with the most sophisticated AI fraud tools. SECURED SIGNING is a global leader in digital document signing, offering Advanced eSignatures, Remote Online Notarization, and trusted by legal professionals, healthcare providers and government agencies. Its platform combines compliance grade security with an intuitive user interface, enabling organizations execute documents with confidence – wherever their signers may be located.
