Abstract
A mechanism is provided for validating an identity of a user. A signed electronic identification document is received from the user. A signature of the signed electronic identification document is compared utilizing a public key obtained from a certificate authority forming first information and a first image associated with the user. The first information and the first image associated with the user are presented via a user interface associated with a challenge terminal. Responsive to a positive indication that the first information and the first image are associated with the user and responsive to a request to perform additional validation of the user, a read of steganographic information embedded in the first image associated with the user is attempted. Responsive to reading the steganographic information embedded in the first image associated with the user, the identity of the user is validated.
