Abstract
A refresh rate detection-based method and system of performing an authentication of video of a person in order to authorize access to a secured resource is disclosed. The user provides image data in which they present a secondary computing device which, in response to a signal from the authentication system, employ a dynamic refresh rate when displaying visual content. The system and method are configured to evaluate the image data to determine whether the dynamic refresh rate pattern is present. If a change in the refresh rate is present, the system determines the image is authentic and can verify an identity of the person. In some cases, the system can further be configured to then automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.
