Abstract: A computing platform may apply a microshift to an authentication image associated with a user. The computing platform may hash the microshifted authentication image to produce a modified authentication image. The computing platform may receive a request to authenticate the user, wherein the request includes an input image for identity verification. The computing platform may apply the microshift and the hash to the input image to produce a modified input image. The computing platform may compare the modified input image to the modified authentication image. Based on identifying a match, the computing platform may generate, using a neural network, a confidence score indicating a likelihood that the modified input image depicts the user. The computing platform may compare the confidence score to a confidence threshold. Based on identifying that the confidence score meets or exceeds the confidence threshold, the computing platform may authenticate the user.
