Techniques for performing video-based verification

Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for performing a verification process. In some embodiments, video streams may be exchanged between two devices via a first network connection. Additionally, an out-of-band connection can be established between the two devices. A degradation in the first network connection may be detected. In response to the detection, the first device may be configured to identify one or more key frames from the video stream. The key frames can be identified due to the inclusion of information indicative of the identity of the user of the first device (e.g., a representation of the user's face and/or an identity document such as a driver's license). The key frames are transmitted via the out-of-band connection with a higher quality resolution than the resolution utilized by the video stream. The first user’s identity may be verified using the key frames despite the degradation of the first network connection.
