Face Unlock Authentication

Feature Description
To improve user experience and add an extra layer of security, I propose a Face Unlock feature to the existing framework.
Describe the solution you'd like
There are two potential methods to implement this feature:
- Server-Side Processing:
- Capture the video feed from the client's device.
- Send the video feed to the server for processing.
- Identify facial landmarks based on the user's profile.
- Store these landmarks in the database.
- Generate authentication tokens based on these landmarks which will be used for further authentication and access privileges.
- Client-Side Processing:
Develop a frontend solution that resides on the client side.
This frontend solution will contain the facial recognition algorithms along with the pre-trained weights.
- Capture the video feed and process it on the client side.
- Generate tokens based on this processing.
- Send these tokens to the server for further processing and validation.
Additional context
The choice between the two methods will need a deeper evaluation of security implications, user experience, and server load. While server-side processing centralizes the data, ensuring more control, client-side processing might provide a faster response and reduce server load. However, concerns about the security of client-side processing and ensuring the integrity of the tokens generated will need to be addressed.
I think the best approach for something like this would be what FIDO 2 has been working towards and auth systems like hanko do with their passkey api.
