“It works like this: credential holders snap a selfie, Wicket scans the resulting image and compares it to a photo on file to verify their identity as people pass a security checkpoint. Credentialing software provided by UK outfit Accredit Solutions helps to make those checks and determine access rights.”
•I have never heard of/used Accredit Solutions or Wicket so how tf are you comparing it to a photo on file?
