Could you build this?
Partial A basic PAM wrapper calling OpenCV is doable, but reliable, secure anti-spoofing liveness detection and secure daemon architecture require dedicated biometric/computer vision expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires C/Rust Linux systems engineering and computer vision. Stack entails a Linux PAM module, a systemd daemon talking over D-Bus, V4L2 webcam capture (supporting IR when available), and an anti-spoofing ML pipeline (e.g., MiniFASNet) running via ONNX Runtime to prevent photo/video replay attacks.
