This paper addresses the challenge of developing robust Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) models for face recognition systems. Traditional FAS protocols are limited by a lack of diversity in subject identities and environmental conditions restricting generalization to real-world scenarios. Recent advancements in spoof image synthesis have mitigated data scarcity but still fail to capture the full range of facial attributes and environmental variability needed for effective domain generalization. To address this we propose a novel framework capable of generating diverse realistic facial images with text-guided control. We fine-tune Stable Diffusion to extract real facial features and specifically train LoRA layers to capture detailed spoof patterns. Additionally the text-guided control of attributes helps overcome the lack of diversity seen in previous methods. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our text-to-image-based synthetic data generation significantly enhances the robustness of FAS models establishing a new benchmark for domain-independent and reliable anti-spoofing systems.
