Abstract
An apparatus for authenticating a card containing first and second images which is covered by lenticular lenses includes an optical input device, a data storage section, and a processor. The optical input section is operable to generate first data representing the first image and generate second data representing the second image. The data storage section is operable to store reference data representing a reference image. The processor is operable to authenticate the card based on the first data, the second data, and the reference data. The optical input section is operable to receive the first and second images through the lenticular lenses.
