1. A method 1500 for determining authenticity, comprising:
-
1502 providing an object of authentication;
1504 capturing characteristic data from the object of authentication;
1506 deriving authentication data from the characteristic data of the object of authentication; and
1508 comparing the authentication data with an electronic database comprising reference authentication data to provide an authenticity score for the object of authentication,the reference authentication data corresponding to one or more reference objects of authentication other than the object of authentication.

Abstract
Described are methods and systems for determining authenticity. For example, the method may include providing an object of authentication, capturing characteristic data from the object of authentication, deriving authentication data from the characteristic data of the object of authentication, and comparing the authentication data with an electronic database comprising reference authentication data to provide an authenticity score for the object of authentication. The reference authentication data may correspond to one or more reference objects of authentication other than the object of authentication.

9. A system 1800 for determining authenticity, comprising:
-
a characterization module 1802 configured for capturing characteristic data from an object of authentication; a data storage module 1804 configured to store an electronic database 1806 comprising reference authentication data; a processor 1808 operatively coupled to the characterization module 1802 and the data storage module 1804, the processor 1808 being programmed to; operate the characterization module 1802 to capture the characteristic data from the object of authentication; derive authentication data from the characteristic data of the object of authentication, compare the authentication data with the electronic database 1806 comprising the reference authentication data to provide an authenticity score for the object of authentication; and access the data storage module 1804 to store and retrieve one or more of;
the authentication data, the electronic database 1806 comprising the reference authentication data, the characteristic data from the object of authentication, and the authenticity score. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
