Authentication systems and methods
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an immutable token reader includinga non-transitory machine-readable storage medium;
a processor in communication with the machine-readable storage medium;
communication circuitry in communication with the processor; and
a plurality of sensors in communication with the processor, each of the plurality of sensors configured to generate electrical signals in response to receiving wave energy,wherein the processor is configured tocontrol acquisition of data from an object using at least a subset a the plurality of sensors, wherein data acquired by the subset of the plurality of sensors includes data acquired from one or more indelible markers of the object,apply weights to the data acquired by the subset of the plurality of sensors to generate weighted values,calculate a first authentication value for determining whether the object is an authentic real thing (“
ART”
) based on the weighted values, andcause the communication circuitry to transmit an authentication request including the first authentication value to a first authentication entity.

Abstract
A system includes a machine-readable storage medium, a processor in communication with the machine-readable storage medium, communication circuitry in communication with the processor; and a plurality of sensors in communication with the processor. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to generate an electrical signal in response to receiving wave energy. The processor is configured to control data acquisition for authenticating an object using at least a subset of the plurality of sensors, calculate an authentication value based on signals received from the subset of the plurality of sensors, and cause the communication circuitry to transmit an authentication request including the authentication value to an authentication entity.

17. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium encoded with program code, wherein when the program code is executed by a processor, the processor performs a method, the method comprising:
-
controlling acquisition of data from an object using sensors configured to generate electrical signals in response to receiving wave energy, wherein data acquired by the sensors comprises data acquired from one or more indelible markers of the object; applying weights to the data acquired by the sensors to generate weighted values; calculating an authentication value for determining whether the object is an authentic real thing (“
ART”
) based on the weighted values; andtransmitting an authentication request including the authentication value to an authentication entity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
