Claim:
1. A method for controlling access to an electronic resource using interactive video notarization, the method comprising: providing a supplicant video notarization system (VNS) application executable on a supplicant device for initiating an interactive video call between a supplicant and a notary as a condition to the supplicant accessing a protected electronic resource stored locally on a mobile device, wherein the supplicant VNS application is configured to select the notary from social networking contacts of the supplicant; and providing a notary VNS application executable on a remote notary device through which the notary receives the interactive video call and interacts with the supplicant via the interactive video call to confirm an identity of the supplicant and that video of the supplicant provided in the interactive video call is live, wherein the notary VNS application includes an interface that requires the notary to indicate whether the supplicant appears to be a correct owner of the mobile device based on the interactive video call in order to prevent reverse-engineering credentials of the owner.
