Identify verification through application has become one of the most widespread means of ensuring digital security across various fields such as banking transactions, government services and social media platforms. These applications use technologies like biometric checks (facial scanning, fingerprint scanning), verification via identity documents and certificates, as well as two-factor authentication (2FA).
Their reliability is based on the ability to cross-check data and authenticate in real-time, making it difficult to forge or bypass security mechanisms. However, their success depends on ease of use and the protection of personal data, with many applications investing in advanced encryption and information storage systems.
This master’s thesis presents a solution applicable to Android mobile phones concerning identity verification methods. For this purpose, the FaceTec software development kit and libraries (Software Development Kit) were used.
The application acts as an authentication system, which verifies the user’s identity through a facial recognition process or using username and password codes. The application compares the user’s face with the photo of their license and simultaneously performs optical character recognition of the license’s text to verify the user’s details. When the user reopens the application, facial recognition verifies the 3D liveness and compares it with the stored 3D Face Map, allowing access to the application without using username/password.
