• Abstract: Security systems demand continuous, cryptograph- ically robust identity verification without requiring subjects to carry physical tokens, smart cards, or dedicated hardware authenticators. This paper presents BIDO (Biometric Identity Online), a device-free authentication standard that achieves Au- thenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2) per NIST SP 800-63B with- out storing long-lived biometric templates, facial images, or any other form of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). BIDO derives Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) key material deterministically from a live biometric measurement salted with a user-defined memorized secret at every authen- tication event, eliminating persistent private-key storage while enabling verification from any commodity sensor terminal. The generated credentials are non-discoverable (non-resident) Web Authentication (WebAuthn) credentials, fully compatible with all FIDO2-enabled websites and services without modification on the server side. A multi-stage pipeline, comprising capture of 200 valid biometric samples, feature extraction using the Dlib 68- point facial landmark predictor, affine face alignment, frontality gating, Euclidean distance computation from the inter-eye mid- point, floor-division quantization with divisor q = 8, inter-session drift stabilization, and majority-voting SHA-256 hash binding, produces a Verification Seed (Vseed) from which the WebAuthn credential is transiently derived and immediately zeroized after signing. Evaluated against three prominent face benchmarks (VGGFace2, LFW, and MegaFace), achieving 99.51% verification accuracy on LFW and 92.14% Rank-1 identification accuracy on MegaFace Challenge 1 at 10^6 distractors, with a cryptographic False Accept Rate (FAR) of 0.03%, a False Reject Rate (FRR) of 0.90%.
