Patent 10579783 was granted and assigned to Block on March, 2020 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Systems and methods for identity authentication verification are disclosed. First image data corresponding to a first image is submitted in response to a request to authenticate the identity of a user of a device. A second image is captured shortly after the first image is captured. The first and second image data and/or metadata associated with the first and second image are compared and analyzed to determine if the first image is an authentic image captured by a camera of the device and if the person depicted in the first image is the user of the device.
