Abstract: A system for authenticating a subject identification document includes instructions causing a processor to receive a first image of the document, depicting, in RGB color space, the document illuminated by UV light, and transform the first image to a second image in YCbCr color space. The instructions cause the processor to divide the second image into regions of interest (ROIs), and, for each ROI, generate a color profile descriptor including first data elements associated with pixel color in the YCbCr color space, and second data elements associated with pixel intensity of pixels within the ROI. The instructions also cause the processor to generate a score for the second image based on a comparison of the color profile descriptor for each ROI to a corresponding ROI of an enrolled document template, and compare the score to a threshold to determine whether the document is authenticated.

Abstract: A cardholder enters (305) payment information and a freely-selected transaction CVV in a merchant system (20). A payment system (30) receives (400) a request from the merchant system including the transaction CVV and transaction information, and sends (405) a transaction authorization request to a cardholder device (13). The transaction information are displayed (310) on the cardholder device and invites the cardholder to enter the transaction CVV for confirmation purpose. In response, the cardholder enters (315) a confirmation CVV. The payment system approves (240, 415) the transaction when the transaction and confirmation CVVs are the same. As a result, the CVV can have a short life and be changed at each transaction, thereby increasing the security of the transactions. Also, PCI certification constraints on servers are reduced since no issuer master key is required for the CVVs. Lastly, the cardholder has more control on the transaction validation.
