Abstract
Exemplary systems, methods and computer-accessible mediums can receive information comprising a first speckle pattern(s) associated with a portion(s) of the paper. The information can be generated by an optical arrangement, and the first speckle pattern(s) can be compared with a second speckle pattern(s) to determine if a similarity, measure based on local or global descriptors is of equal to a predetermined amount or within a predetermined range.
Claims28
A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions for at least one of verifying or authenticating at least one of a portion of a paper or contents thereof wherein, when a computer hardware arrangement executes the instructions, the computer arrangement is configured to perform procedures comprising:
- receiving information comprising at least one first speckle pattern associated with at least i one portion of the paper, wherein the information is generated by an optical arrangement;
- and
- comparing the at least one first speckle pattern with at least one pre-obtained second speckle pattern to determine if a similarity measure based on at least one of local or global descriptors is at least one of equal to a predetermined amount or within a predetermined range.
The non-transitory computer-accessible medium 1, wherein the at least one second speckle pattern is generated from the paper.
A method for at least one of verifying or authenticating at least one of a portion of a paper or contents thereof, comprising:
- receiving information comprising at least one first speckle pattern associated with at least one portion of the paper, wherein the information is generated by an optical arrangement;
- and
- using a computer hardware arrangement, comparing the at least one first speckle pattern with at least one pre-obtained second speckle pattern to determine if a similarity measure, based on at least one of local or global descriptors is at least one of equal to a predetermined amount or within a predetermined range.
A system for at least one of verifying or authenticating at least one of a portion of a paper or contents thereof, comprising:
- a computer processing arrangement configured to:
- receive information comprising at least one first speckle pattern associated with at least one portion of the paper, wherein the information is generated by an optical arrangement, and
- compare the at least one first speckle pattern with at least one pre-obtained second speckle pattern to determine if a similarity measure based on at least one of local or global descriptors is at least one of equal to a predetermined amount or within a predetermined range.
An article of manufacture for at least one of conducting or authenticating a banking procedure comprising:
- a speckled paper receipt having at least one a fixed denomination or a variable denomination received from a party as part of a transaction.
A method of at least one of conducting or authenticating remittances with an agent, receiver, sender and a trusted authority, method comprising:
- receiving, by the receiver, a speckle voucher and a speckle hash;
- transmitting, from the receiver to the sender, the speckle hash;
- transmitting, from the sender to the trusted authority, the speckle hash and an amount to be deposited;
- transmitting, from the trusted authority to the sender, a particular number;
- transmitting, from the sender to the receiver, the number;
- transmitting, from the receiver to the agent, the number, the speckle hash and the speckle voucher;
- and
- using a computer hardware arrangement, authenticating the particular number, the speckle hash and the speckle voucher, and depositing the particular amount.
