The patent for a “Method And System To Autonomously Authenticate And Validate Users Using A Node Server And Database” involves a node server with authentication data and an SDK configured to use it for authentication, such as FaceTec’s face biometrics with 3D liveness detection. The node server uses an API for creating and maintaining a node server as well as routing payment to a cloud server that is hosting the node. An accompanying communication interface handles interaction with the user’s device so they can control the process, and an access module keeps all others out. The approach removes the need for administrative accounts and for IT staff to interact manually with the database to perform maintenance duties and update the biometric references. User self-enrollment and authentication can both be protected with FaceTec’s Zoom 3D liveness detection, as well as eye tracking and other forms of spoof protection. The patent document refers to the use of active or passive presentation attack detection (PAD).
