Abstract: A system supporting identity verification for an end-user, the system including a hardware processor configured for sending a link, which directs an end-user to a software functionality, such as but not limited to a web application, native app/native sdk, web app desktop, web sdk, which is operative for end-user identity verification, to an end-user's mobile phone, thereby to open an identity verification session when the end-user clicks on the link; and wherein data is elicited from the end-user via the software functionality activated by the end-user's clicking on the link. Typically the software functionality processes at least one image captured by at least one end-user's cellphone during the session or in real time or near real time, and for at least one image so captured, detects, and communicates to the end-user that the image is of unsatisfactory quality.

Abstract: A host device is provided comprising an interface configured to communicate with a storage device having a public memory area and a private memory area, wherein the public memory area stores a virtual file that is associated with content stored in the private memory area. The host device also comprises a cache, a host application, and a server. The server is configured to receive a request for the virtual file from the host application, send a request to the storage device for the virtual file, receive the content associated with the virtual file from the private memory area of the storage device, wherein the content is received by bypassing the cache, generate a response to the request from the host application, the response including the content, and send the response to the host application.
