SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOKEN AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735892 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOKEN AUTHENTICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an authentication system that uses tokens with tailored-wavelength-range coded patterns or steganographic images for authentication purposes.
- The system processes tokens that incorporate invisible-ink-printed patterns in different tailored wavelength ranges within the infrared light spectrum.
- Tokens may also include steganographic images where invisible-ink-printed patterns are interweaved within the images.
- Visible-ink-printed patterns and invisible-ink-printed patterns can be printed together, with the invisible-ink patterns corresponding to authentication codes or other data.
- The system aims to provide secure token authentication using these unique patterns and codes.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some embodiments, an authentication system may be configured to process one or more tokens that incorporates one or more tailored-wavelength-range coded patterns, codes represented within a steganographic image, or “overlapping” codes. As an example, such a token may include (i) one or more invisible-ink-printed patterns printed using infrared ink corresponding to different tailored wavelength ranges within the infrared light spectrum, (ii) one or more steganographic images in which invisible-ink-printed patterns are interweaved within the steganographic images, (iii) visible-ink-printed patterns and invisible-ink-printed patterns printed substantially within the visible ink portions of the visible-ink-printed patterns, or (iv) other features, where the invisible-ink-printed patterns correspond to one or more authentication codes or other data for token authentication.
