Abstract: A method of verifying the identity of a user as being a user who is registered with a face recognition system includes the step of capturing an image that includes the face of the user. One or more values are extracted from the image, each value being representative of a region in the image. The extracted values are presented to the user. When the extracted values presented to the user correspond to stored values that were provided to the user during a process of registering the user with the system, the user initiates a comparison between the extracted values and the stored values. Matching of the extracted values with the stored values verifies the identity of the user as being registered with the system.
