9.12 Facial Recognition

Advanced Authentication provides advanced biometric authentication with the Facial Recognition method. This method allows users to get automatically authenticated by presenting their face. The image of the face is captured by an integrated or external camera and recorded by the configured API server, when the user enrolls the method. When the user tries to authenticate on an application, the API engine identifies and validates the recorded image with the actual image. If the images match, the user is authenticated.

IMPORTANT:It is recommended to configure the blink detection or combine the Facial recognition method with another method in a chain to enhance security.

WARNING:You must have the Advanced Authentication Device Service installed to use the Facial recognition method for logging in to the following:

  • Operating System: Windows, Linux, and Mac workstations.

  • Integration: OAuth 2.0 and SAML 2.0.

Advanced Authentication supports the following Face Recognition API services:

NOTE:You can configure one of the API service to apply Facial Recognition method for authentication.
