An idea to improve security is asking people to perform something like:

• blink one or both eyes
• open mouth
• turn left or right...

Probably choose one or two of these randomly... This will improve security, but it is not really safe. It may be useful to overcome some accessibility issues.

Some other ideas I've read eslewhere:

• check background of the image (if the camera is fixed)
• use infrared camera to detect heat patterns
• use two cameras to get a stereoscopic image
