Abstract
The system receives an indication of a sensitive operation. The system obtains a unique ID of a user's UE. Based on the unique ID of the UE, the system retrieves a visual authentication method including a visual ID. The system records the visual ID, and retrieves a corresponding stored visual ID. The system performs a liveness check associated with the visual ID, to determine whether the visual ID is a recording or a live version of the visual ID. Upon determining that the visual ID is the recording, the system refuses to authenticate the user. Upon determining that the visual ID is the live version of the visual ID, the system compares the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID to determine whether the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID match. Upon determining that the visual ID and the corresponding stored visual ID match, the system authenticates the user.
