• Abstract: The prevalence of sexual deepfake material has exploded over the past several years. Attackers create and utilize deepfakes for many reasons: to seek sexual gratification, to harass and humiliate targets, or to exert power over an intimate partner. In part enabling this growth, several markets have emerged to support the buying and selling of sexual deepfake material. In this paper, we systematically characterize the most prominent and mainstream marketplace, MrDeepFakes. We analyze the marketplace economics, the targets of created media, and user discussions of how to create deepfakes, which we use to understand the current state-of-the-art in deepfake creation. Our work uncovers little enforcement of posted rules (e.g., limiting targeting to well-established celebrities), previously undocumented attacker motivations, and unexplored attacker tactics for acquiring resources to create sexual deepfakes.

  We survey deepfake generation and detection techniques, including the most recent developments in the field. We identify various kinds of deepfakes, according to the procedure used to alter or generate the fake content. We develop a novel multimodal benchmark to evaluate deepfake detectors on out-of-distribution content.

  Deepfakes of victims or public figures can be used by fraudsters for blackmailing, extorsion and financial fraud. In our research we propose to use geometric-fakeness features (GFF) that characterize a dynamic degree of a face presence in a video. We employ our approach to analyze videos with multiple faces that are simultaneously present in a video.

  Deepfakes are videos or images that replace one persons face with another computer-generated face, often a more recognizable person in society. To combat this online threat, researchers have developed models that are designed to detect deepfakes. This study looks at various deepfake detection models that use deep learning algorithms to combat this looming threat.
