OBJECT AUTHENTICATION DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A device for authentication, capable of producing a topographic pattern image based on a microstructure of a paper-based artifacts, wherein the topographic pattern image of the microstructure of said paper-based artifacts is used for authentication of the paper-based artifacts, the device comprising:
- a. an illumination channel comprising a light source of at least one light emitting diode, and a light director configured to bend the light beam produced by said light source, whereby illuminating the paper-based artifacts at certain angle; and
b. an imaging channel comprising of at least one lens configured to magnify the said microstructure created by the light beam, whereby the paper-based artifact'"'"'s microstructure is clearly visible and an image capturing mechanism to capture said topographic pattern image.

Abstract
A device for authentication, which is capable of producing a topographic pattern image based on a microstructure of a paper-based artifact. The topographic pattern image of the microstructure of the paper-based artifacts is used for authentication of the paper-based artifacts. The device includes an illumination channel comprising a light source and a light director configured to bend the light beam produced by the light source. The device also includes an imaging channel comprising at least one lens configured to magnify the topographic pattern created by the light beam and an image capturing mechanism to capture the topographic pattern.
