Abstract
A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for performing user authentication. For example, one embodiment of a system comprises: media capture logic implemented as a component within a browser executed on a client, the media capture logic configured to capture a user's voice from a microphone on a client or images of the user's face or other portion of the user's body from a camera on the client, the media capture logic exposing an application programming interface (API); and a web authentication application implemented as another component within the browser for communicating with an authentication server to perform biometric authentication of a user, the web authentication application making calls to the API of the media capture logic to capture raw biometric data comprising the user's voice from the microphone and/or images of the user's face or other portion of the user's body from the camera, the web authentication application to implement a biometric authentication process to authenticate the user with the raw biometric data.
