主权项

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor of an authentication computing device cause the processor to:
receive a request for authentication of a user, wherein the request for authentication comprises collected contextual data and one of an image data of the user captured at a first resolution suitable for a first level of available network resources or an image data of the user captured at a second resolution suitable for a second level of available network resources, wherein the first level of available network resources is lower than the second level of available network resources and the first resolution is lower than the second resolution; compare the received image data of the user to baseline image data of the user; compare the collected contextual data to an expected contextual data value; and determine whether to authenticate the user based on the comparison of the received image data of the user to the baseline image data of the user, the comparison of the collected contextual data to the expected contextual data value, and the determined level of available network resources.
