SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING FORGERY FEATURES ON IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS
The present disclosure describes systems and methods to classify and authenticate ID documents based on the information contained within the ID documents' 2D barcode. Different classes of ID documents can have different optional information encoded into the 2D barcode. In many cases, the card issuer does not publically document the information contained within the optional portions. The present solution can classify the ID documents based on the information contained within the required and optional portions of the 2D barcode. For example, the system can classify and authenticate the ID document based on the data encoded into the 2D barcode, the encoded data design, formatting, extra or missing encoded data, or other errors in the coding and sequencing of data encoded into the 2D barcode.
1 . A system to determine a physical identification document is authentic using characteristics of the physical identification document, the system comprising:
an authentication manager executable on one or more processors configured to:
receive an image of a physical identification document, the image comprising a barcode of the physical identification document;
extract data from the barcode of the physical identification document;
determine a class of the physical identification document;
identify, based on the class of the physical identification document, an optional field in the data from the barcode, the optional field comprising data undocumented on a face of the physical identification document;
generate a score based on a comparison of the optional field in the data to an optional field of a previously authenticated physical identification document of the class; and
provide an indication that the physical identification document is authentic based on the score crossing a predetermined threshold.
2 . The system of claim 1 , comprising the authentication manager to receive the image of the physical identification document from a remote client device.
3 . The system of claim 1 , comprising the authentication manager to:
determine a subclass of the physical identification document; and
identify the optional field in the data based on the subclass of the physical identification document.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional field comprises at least one of incidental data or an inventory control number.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the optional field comprises a hash of at least one required field of the data.
6 . The system of claim 1 , comprising the authentication manager to:
identify, based on the class of the physical identification document, a required field in the data; and
generate the score based on the required field in the data.
7 . The system of claim 6 , comprising the authentication manager to compare data of the required field to a physical characteristic of the physical identification document.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the physical characteristics is a human readable portion of the physical identification document.
9 . The system of claim 1 , comprising the authentication manager to determine a fraudulent manufacturer of the physical identification document based on the optional field in the data.
10 . The system of claim 1 , comprising the authentication manager to:
receive a second image of a second physical identification document, the second image comprising a second barcode of the second physical identification document;
identify a required field in the data of the second barcode;
compare data of the required field to a physical characteristic of the second physical identification document; and
provide an indication that the second physical identification document is fraudulent based on a mismatch between the data of the required field and the physical characteristic of the second physical identification document.
11 . A method to determine a physical identification document is authentic using characteristics of the physical identification document, comprising:
receiving, by an authentication manager, an image of a physical identification document, the image comprising a barcode of the physical identification document;
extracting, by an element extraction engine executed by the authentication manager, data from the barcode of the physical identification document;
determining, by the authentication manager, a class of the physical identification document;
identifying, by the element extraction engine, based on the class of the physical identification document an optional field in the data, the optional field comprising data undocumented on a face of the physical identification document;
generating, by the authentication manager, a score based on a comparison of the optional field in the data to an optional field of a previously authenticated physical identification document of the class; and
providing, by the authentication manager, an indication that the physical identification document is authentic based on the score crossing a predetermined threshold.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, over a network, the image of the physical identification document from a remote client device.
13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining, by the authentication manager, a subclass of the physical identification document; and
identifying, by the authentication manager, the optional field in the data based on the subclass of the physical identification document.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the optional field comprises at least one of incidental data or an inventory control number.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the optional field comprises a hash of at least one required field of the data.
16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
identifying, by the element extraction engine, based on the class of the physical identification document a required field in the data; and
generating, by the authentication manager, the score based on the required field in the data.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising comparing, by the authentication manager, data of the required field to a physical characteristic of the physical identification document.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the physical characteristics is a human readable portion of the physical identification document.
19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining, by the authentication manager, a fraudulent manufacturer of the physical identification document based on the optional field in the data.
20 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, by the authentication manager, a second image of a second physical identification document, the second image comprising a second barcode of the second physical identification document;
identifying, by the element extraction engine, a required field in the data of the second barcode;
comparing, by the authentication engine, data of the required field to a physical characteristic of the second physical identification document; and
providing, by the authentication manager, an indication that the second physical identification document is fraudulent based on a mismatch between the data of the required field and the physical characteristic of the second physical identification.
