SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOKEN AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735917 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOKEN AUTHENTICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an authentication system that processes tokens with various coded patterns for authentication purposes.
- The tokens may include invisible-ink-printed patterns in different tailored wavelength ranges within the infrared light spectrum.
- The tokens may also incorporate invisible-ink-printed patterns interweaved within steganographic images.
- Visible-ink-printed patterns and invisible-ink-printed patterns may be printed together within the visible ink portions of the visible-ink-printed patterns.
- The invisible-ink-printed patterns correspond to authentication codes or other data for token authentication.
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.
