Predictive system of identification and authentication through images
View Patent ↗A system of identification and univocal authentication of information relating to a sensitive entity consists of the association of a device for generating codes and presenting them through images. An image-reading device provided with communication and transmission means to a different device a code generating and validating device characterized in that: said code generating and validating device through images generates said codes based on univocal information of identification related to an entity, and based on dynamic elements over time; said image-reading device forwards the images to said validation device; said validation device certifies the correctness of said codes received from the image-reading device by comparing them with those generated by itself according to identical methods to those of said device for generating codes.
1 . A system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity, comprising:
a first device for generating codes via a code generation method and presenting the generated codes through images,
an image-reading device provided with communication and transmission means to a different device,
a second device for validating codes presented with images and capable of applying the same code generation method as the first device, wherein the second device generates additional codes to be compared with codes received from the first device and verifies that the compared codes are identical,
Characterized in that:
said first device and said second device each generate their respective codes based on unique identifying information relating to an entity and elements that change over time;
said image-reading device forwards the images generated by the first device to the second device;
said second device certifies the correctness of said codes received from the image reading device by comparing said received codes with the additional codes generated by the second device using methods identical to those used by said first device, wherein the second device is configured to generate the additional codes when offline and without the need for an internet connection; and
a sequence of images is emitted by the image-reading device in a predetermined number and in a temporal sequence depending on the security level set by the user.
2 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 1 , characterized in that said images generated by the first device are dynamic and contain one or more of the following information:
static authentication data of the user, the provider, and the request,
data derived from a unique code registered on the device, which characterizes the user's device,
non-programmable, time-varying data, used in combination with other data to generate codes to be presented and read via images.
3 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 2 , characterised in that said non- programmable, time-varying data, automatically emitted by said code generation device, is absolute time.
4 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 3 , characterized in that said dynamic images are multidimensional and generated using the function

F
(
FixQRcode

and in that said validation device authenticates the sequence of images received and confirms the user's identity using the function
FixQRCode

where
FixQRCode includes the static authentication data of the user, the provider, and the request,
P-QRCode(Tx) is the code dynamically generated at time Tx, which is then represented via a QR Code,
IMEI is the unique device identification code for generating codes and presenting them via images or a secret software key stored on the device to identify it, and
Tx is a variable that takes into account information independent of the information entered by the user.
5 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 2 , characterized in that said information incorporated in said dynamic images also includes a distance of said first device coming from a control system, and/or its GPS coordinates at the time of authentication.
6 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 5 , characterized in that said control system cuts off communication upon receiving different information about distance and/or position from predefined values.
7 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 1 , characterized in that said first device comprises a mobile telephone communication device issuing an image onto a screen.
8 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 7 , characterized in that said image- reading device is placed inside said mobile communication device.
9 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 1 , characterized in that said second device outputs an authentication signal upon successful authentication of the user.
10 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 9 , characterized in that said authentication signal activates one of an identity confirmation warning control, an electromechanical or electromagnetic device, or other control device.
11 . The system for uniquely identifying and authenticating information relating to a sensitive entity according to claim 1 , characterized in that said first device and said image-reading device, each stores respective univocal data at the moment of first communication in order to allow identification of the other device under any condition of the telecommunication network.
