1. A method for determining whether opening an application on a mobile computing device requires facial recognition, comprising:

  • receiving a request to open the application;

    determining, based on the application being opened, whether the application requires execution of a facial recognition algorithm prior to opening the application;

    when the application requires execution of the facial recognition algorithm, activating a camera on the mobile computing device to obtain one or more images;

    authorizing the user to access the application being opened when the facial recognition algorithm confirms the identity of the user;

    storing a record that includes a certificate reflecting the authorization of the user to access the application;

    after authorizing the user, activating the camera and executing the facial recognition algorithm to perform a subsequent authorization;

    if the user fails the subsequent authorization, terminating the application and modifying the record to reflect the subsequent authorization failure; and

    determining that the modified record triggers a remedial action comprising at least one of;

    remotely disabling the application, and remotely wiping the application from the mobile computing device.
