• Abstract: Digital identity verification systems used in remote onboarding rely on document images to authenticate users, making them vulnerable to localized manipulations of key identity fields such as facial photographs and textual information. Existing forgery detection methods, developed primarily for natural-image forensics, show limited transferability to structured identity documents. We propose FLiD, a lightweight field-localized framework that targets critical identity regions rather than processing full-document images. A fine-tuned object detector first localizes face and text fields; a frozen MobileNetV3-Small backbone then extracts compact field-level embeddings, which are classified by lightweight neural network with only 191K trainable parameters. FLiD achieves AUC scores of 0.880 (face), 0.954 (text), and 0.923 (both-field attacks), with corresponding EERs of 18.05%, 11.61%, and 15.16%, representing absolute reductions of 29-35 percentage points over a full-document baseline trained from scratch. FLiD also consistently outperforms general-purpose manipulation detectors (TruFor, MMFusion, UniVAD) across all attack scenarios while requiring 13x fewer parameters and 21x fewer FLOPs

  Fraud detection tools are widely available, but evaluating and fine-tuning them remains difficult because identity documents are sensitive and therefore scarce.<n>We introduce IDSpace, extending this line of research in three directions.<n>First, we propose model-guided Bayesian optimization, which tunes generation parameters to maximize both visual similarity and prediction consistency.<n>Second, we decouple user-specified metadata from automatically tuned control parameters, allowing users to configure evaluations without low-level expertise.
