Biometric Authentication

Submit biometric authentication

Authenticates a user by comparing a submitted selfie against their enrolled image. The selfie and liveness images are uploaded, validated at entry, then queued for async ML processing (passive liveness, active liveness, face matching). Results are delivered via callback URL. Supports use_enrolled_image: true to skip selfie/liveness upload and re-use the enrolled image for the comparison (useful for server-side re-verification).
