the authorizing the user includes comparing a hash value of the newly-captured biometric data with a hash value of the original biometric data retrieved based on the certification seal of the original biometric data.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor operatively coupled with the memory, the processor configured to:

receive, at the server and from a second device of a user, a challenge envelope of data, the challenge envelope of data including the session identifier, a digital signature defined by digitally signing a hash value of newly-captured biometric data of the user using a private key of the user, and a certification seal of original biometric data of the user, and;

verify the digital signature using a public key of the user;

retrieve a hash value of the original biometric data from a distributed ledger based on the certification seal of the original biometric data;

compare the hash value of the newly-captured biometric data with the hash value of the original biometric data;

authorize the user upon successful verification of the hash value of the newly-captured biometric data with the hash value of the original biometric data; and

establish a communication session having the session identifier between the server and the first device of the user.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein:

the original biometric data is at least one of a fingerprint identification or a facial image.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein:

generate, at the server, a second scannable code including the challenge response;

send, from the server to the first device of the user, the second scannable code;

receive, at the server and from the second device of the user, a confirmation login request responding to the login challenge, the confirmation login request including a second envelope of data having a user identifier, the session identifier, and the shared-string,
