8. A method of authenticating a security or identification document with a handheld computing device, the device comprising an optical sensor and a display, the document comprising micro-printing, wherein the micro-printing is generally imperceptible by an unassisted human observer, said method comprising:
-
receiving from the optical sensor optical scan data corresponding to the document;
analyzing the optical scan data to recognize the micro-printing;
scaling or magnifying the micro-printing;
providing at least some of the scaled or magnified micro-printing via the display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
