The downside includes risks such as criminals impersonating us with stolen data and the pain of having to revert to passwords if the phone is lost. Justitia solves three key pain points with cuttingedge, patented technology: liveness detection to prevent impersonation, remote recovery for lost phones, and encryption so servers will never know what a user looks like.
