Project description:
"I need an Android KYC application that securely verifies user identities. The app should be able to access the mobile camera for capturing identification documents.

I am seeking a developer to build a private mobile application that allows the remote execution of a Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process using the camera of a mobile phone. This process should occur while I am interacting with a website (such as Amazon or any online registration platform) that typically requests webcam access on a computer.
The goal is to redirect the camera access request from the computer to the mobile phone, allowing the KYC process (facial image capture, ID document scanning, etc.) to be completed using the mobile device instead of the computer’s webcam.

Important Note About Scope and Usage
* This application is intended for private use only by myself and a few trusted individuals.
* It does not need to be published on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
* It should be delivered as an installable APK for Android, and optionally a simple web component to run on a Linux-based computer.
* Compatibility is only required for:
* Android devices
* Linux-based systems (for the desktop/browser part)
* macOS/iOS compatibility is not necessary, unless it does not increase cost or complexity.
This clarification is intended to reduce development time and cost, and avoid the need for store compliance or distribution infrastructure.

Project Objectives
* Allow redirection of camera access from a Linux computer browser to an Android mobile phone.
* Perform:
* Facial photo capture (biometric selfie)
* Scanning or photographing of ID documents
* Ensure a simple and controlled experience for trusted users only.
* No public distribution, no large-scale security layers, and no user onboarding systems required.

Core Requirements
1. Remote Access to Mobile Camera
* While using a browser on a Linux desktop, when a site requests webcam access, the user should be able to redirect that input to the mobile phone.
* The user will manually scan a QR code or click a custom link that opens the camera interface in the Android app.
* No need for automatic device switching — a simple manual step (e.g., scanning QR or opening a URL) is acceptable.

3. KYC Input (Image Capture Only)
* The app will allow the user to:
* Take a biometric-style selfie.
* Take a photo of an official ID (e.g., passport or ID card).
* No integration with third-party KYC verification APIs (like Onfido or Jumio) is needed.
* The app is only a manual tool for capturing and transmitting images — no AI analysis or identity validation is required.
4. Security
* A basic level of encryption or secure transfer (e.g., HTTPS or local encrypted API) should be used to send the images from the phone to the computer — unless implementing strong encryption significantly increases development cost or complexity.
* It is essential that only the computer can initiate and access the connection to the mobile device in order to receive the captured images.
* Under no circumstances should the mobile device be able to access, browse, or interact with the computer or its files.
* This ensures strict unidirectional control from the desktop to the phone, protecting the host system from any potential risk.

Simplified Process Flow
1. User accesses a website (e.g., Amazon) that requires webcam access for KYC.
2. Instead of using the computer’s webcam, the user scans a QR code or opens a custom link.
3. The mobile app opens and activates the camera.
4. The user captures:
* A selfie (biometric)
* A photo of their ID document
5. The captured images are transmitted to the desktop session.
6. The KYC verification is completed using the photos from the mobile app.

Thank you for reviewing this request. I look forward to collaborating with a developer who can help me implement this private, secure, and efficient solution." (client-provided description)
