| 20100110196 | System and Method for Encoding Authentication - A system and method for encoding and authenticating documents and data storage discs uniquely is described which can provide a means to authenticate a document such as a passport or identification document or driving licence or contract or a music compact disc (CD) or data CD or DVD or holographic DVD or credit card. The documents each comprise an encoding formed from a unique number or pattern or datagram image, which is either printed so that it can be read directly by a viewing device, or the encoding is cut by laser to create a pattern or perforation matrix into the document thereby leaving the unique number or pattern or datagram as a matrix of small holes or perforations in the document through which light may pass. The authentication process thus involves viewing and decoding the encoding and generating a computed result using a stored decoding algorithm. Different levels of decoding may be linked to subscriber access privileges and these may be controlled by subscriber identity data and or a finger print capture and validation sensor. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20110069174 | AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS FOR VALUE DOCUMENTS - A value document authentication apparatus and system that includes value document substrates having a uniform distribution of one or more phosphors that emit infrared radiation in one or more wavelengths, which can be measured at the same location on the value document that is illuminated by a phosphor exciting light source when the document passes the light source with a uniform velocity. The illumination and measurement locations on the value document can be offset. The measured infrared radiation as a series of overlapped measurements along a pre-selected track in the value document represents an intensity profile, which can be normalized after removing high variations. The normalized intensity profile of a test value document can be compared with normalized intensity profile from valid reference documents to authenticate the test value document. | 03-24-2011 |
