Method and apparatus for fractal identification
First Claim
1. A method for confirming identity, comprising:
- outputting a parameter by a reading device indicative of at least a number of fractal layers to be displayed in accordance with a generated fractal image, the reading device configured to read an image displayed on a display of a display device;
receiving the parameter output by the reading device by the display device;
generating a fractal image at least in accordance with the received parameter by the display device, the generated fractal image including the number of fractal layers indicated by the received parameter;
displaying the generated fractal image on the display of the display device;
imaging the displayed fractal image by the reading device;
comparing the imaged fractal image to an expected fractal image generated by the reading device at least in accordance with the parameter and along the indicated number of fractal layers; and
confirming that the imaged fractal image and the expected fractal image do not differ by more than a predetermined amount.

Abstract
In general, in some aspects, the subject matter of the present disclosure can be embodied in methods for confirming identity, in which the methods include: outputting a parameter by a reading device, the reading device adapted to read an image displayed on a display of a display device; receiving the parameter output by the reading device by the display device; generating a fractal image at least in accordance with the received parameter by the display device; displaying the generated fractal image on the display of the display device; imaging the displayed fractal image by the reading device; comparing the imaged fractal image to an expected fractal image generated by the reader at least in accordance with the parameter; and confirming that the imaged fractal image and the expected fractal image do not differ by more than a predetermined amount.
