Passwordless Face Authentication System

This repository contains the implementation and documentation for the Passwordless Face Authentication System. The project was developed as part of the ITE4001 - Network and Information Security course under the guidance of Prof. Aswani Kumar Cherukuri.

📌 Project Objective

The aim of this project is to design a secure authentication system where users can log in without passwords. Instead, a facial recognition system verifies the user’s identity. This approach improves security while eliminating the issues with password-based systems.

🚀 Technologies Used

• Language: Python
• Face Recognition: OpenCV and face_recognition library
• Encryption: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Backend: Flask

📊 System Components

✅ User Features:

• Enter username for authentication
• Real-time face recognition for access
• Passwordless login

✅ Admin Features:

• Admin can add new users and upload their images
• Manage and update user information
• Encrypted storage of user data

✅ Security Measures:

• AES encryption for image encodings
• Secure PostgreSQL database integration

📈 Workflow:

1. User Login: The user enters the username, and the system captures a real-time image for face recognition.
2. Face Matching: The captured face is compared with encrypted face encodings stored in the database.
3. Admin Management: The admin can add, view, and manage user accounts and face data securely.

📦 Requirements:

Ensure the following dependencies are installed:

pip install face_recognition flask opencv-python cryptography psycopg2

🧪 How to Run the Project

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <your-repo-link>

2. Navigate to Project Directory:

   cd Passwordless-Face-Auth

3. Run the Flask Server:

   python app.py

4. Open Web Browser: Access the system at http://localhost:5000

📊 Results

• Face Matching Accuracy: Achieved over 99% accuracy for face recognition
• Security: AES encryption implemented for secure storage
