A method of determining whether a user (120) of a mobile device (300) corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the user having been previously authenticated via an identity document (110). The method comprises:
accessing an integrated circuit component of the identity document (110), whereby to retrieve data representative of a digital image of the previously authenticated user;
capturing a first image (100) corresponding to an image of a portion of the identity document (110) containing a photographic image (120) of the previously authenticated user;
capturing a second image (200) corresponding to a user (210) of the mobile device (300); and,
arranging for said retrieved data and data indicative of said first and second images (100, 200) to be compared; and,
in the event that it is determined that the first image (100), the second image (200), and the digital image represent the same user, forming an association between the previously authenticated user, and the mobile device (300). |
