Abstract: The invention allows using a commodity hardware (e.g. a smartphone, a tablet, a computer . . . ) to automatically establish a high level of assurance authentication and identification of any government-issued identity document of a user (e.g. identity card, driving license, passport . . . ) and link that to digital identity counterpart. Moreover, the invention allows personalizing a material-based security feature provided of said government-issued identity document to create a link between the identity document and its data content that can be read by such a commodity hardware and serves as reliable credential for accessing a service once the material-based security feature has been authenticated via the commodity hardware and a signature of the identity data of the user has been authenticated by a server of an authority.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of authenticating a magnetically induced mark applied on a substrate including magnetically oriented partially reflective platelet-shaped magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles, with a portable device equipped with a light source operable to deliver visible light, an imager, a processor and a memory, the method comprising calculating, with the processor, a corresponding average intensity I of the light reflected by the partially reflective platelet-shaped magnetic or magnetizable pigment particles and collected by the imager at corresponding viewing angle θ, storing the calculated average intensities of the reflected light and corresponding viewing angles to obtain a reflected light intensity curve I(θ), comparing the stored reflected light intensity curve I(θ) with a stored reference reflected light intensity curve Iref(θ) for said magnetically induced mark, and determining whether the magnetically induced mark is genuine based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An imaging system (200) for generating a measure of authenticity of an object (10) comprises a dispersive imaging arrangement (30) and an image sensor arrangement (60). They are positioned so that, when electromagnetic radiation (20) from the object (10) illuminates the dispersive imaging arrangement (30), the electromagnetic radiation is dispersed and imaged by the image sensor arrangement (60). The imaging system (200) is configured to then generate a measure of authenticity of the object (10) depending at least on a relation between the imaged dispersed electromagnetic radiation and reference spectral information. The invention also relates to imaging methods, computer programs, computer program products, and storage mediums.

Abstract: An imaging system (200) for imaging and generating a measure of authenticity of an object (10) comprises a dispersive imaging arrangement (30) and an image sensor arrangement (60). They are positioned so that, when electromagnetic radiation (20) from the object (10) illuminates the dispersive imaging arrangement (30), the radiation splits out in different directions into at least a non-dispersed part (40) and a dispersed part (50), and those are imaged by the image sensor arrangement (60). The imaging system (200) is configured to then generate a measure of authenticity of the object (10) depending at least on a relation between the imaged dispersed part, the imaged non-dispersed part, and reference spectral information. The invention also relates to imaging methods, computer programs, computer program products, and storage mediums.

Abstract: The present invention relates to markers for liquids that can be used to authenticate the origin and genuineness of a liquid, preferably a bulk liquid such as fuel. For this purpose, the present invention teaches the use of a polymer capable of forming a semiconducting polymer particle (pdot) in the liquid in small amounts. The invention encompasses a liquid comprising a) a polymer that is capable of forming a semiconducting polymer particle (pdot), the concentration of the polymer being 10 ppm by weight or less, and b) an organic substance in an amount of 90% by weight or more. The invention furthermore envisages the use of such a polymer as an authenticating marker in a liquid, preferably a fuel, and a method for authenticating the genuineness and/or origin of a liquid comprising a polymer capable of forming a semiconducting polymer particle (pdot), comprising the steps i. concentrating, isolating and/or extracting the polymer capable of forming a semiconducting polymer particle (pdot); ii. aggregating the polymer or the polymer obtained in Step i. to form semiconducting polymer dots (pdots); iii. irradiating the formed pdots with electromagnetic radiation capable of exciting the pdots to emit electromagnetic radiation by fluorescence and/or phosphorescence, and iv. observing the electromagnetic radiation emitted in response to the exciting irradiation of step iii.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for marking an object (18), the object (18) having a surface of a conductive material. The method comprises a step of applying an electric spark to the surface such that the material is at least one of partially melted and partially ablated by the electric spark, thereby forming a pattern on the object (18). Further, the present application relates to a marking system (10) for marking an object (18) using a spark generator (12) having a counter electrode (14) and a connector (16) for electrically connecting the spark generator (12) to the surface of the object (18) to be marked.
