1. A method comprising:
acquiring, by a portable user device, a facial image of a user;
automatically computing a hash of the acquired facial image;
comparing, by the portable user device, the hash of the facial image of the user with a biometric profile stored in the portable user device;
responsive to the comparing, determining that the hash of the facial image of the user matches with the biometric profile;
responsive to determining that the hash of the facial image of the user matches with the biometric profile and automatically detecting that the portable user device is within a proximity zone of a reader device, establishing a wireless communication channel between the portable user device and the reader device; and
transmitting transaction information for a transaction from the portable user device to the reader device via the wireless communication channel, the reader device requesting a validation of the transaction information from a trusted system and performing the transaction using the transaction information responsive to receiving the validation of the transaction information from the trusted system.
