  • Patent number: 11310668
    Abstract: The invention proposes a system and a method for transmitting a message that allows a sender (designated by an identifier) to send a digital content to one or more recipients (designated by one or more identifiers), the content being associated with at least one material subject (each designated by a single authenticator). Thus, to send a message, the sender implements at least one single authenticator of the material subject, discriminant and intrinsic characteristic of each material subject, which serves to anchor the content to transmit. To be able to access the content of the message, the recipient must provide the server not only its identifier, as for any current messaging system, but also a single authenticator with a same material subject that was used at the time the sender created the message.

  • Patent number: 11049350
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for authenticating and/or checking the integrity of a subject, including:—visually superimposing, optically or electronically:—at least one so-called authentication image of at least one authentication region of an authentic subject, the authentication image including at least one texture of random composition,—and, also, the authentication region per se of a candidate subject or at least one verification image of the authentication region of the candidate subject,—in the event of observing, on the image resulting from the superimposition, a Glass pattern optical phenomenon in the authentication region, concluding that the candidate subject is the authentic subject and/or the at least partial integrity of the authentication region of the authentic subject.

  • Patent number: 10990845
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining a relational imprint between two images including the following steps: —the implementation of a first image and of a second image, —a phase of calculating vectors of similarity between tiles belonging respectively to the first and second images, the similarity vectors forming a field of imprint vectors, the field of imprint vectors including at least one haphazard region disordered in the sense of an entropy criterion, —a phase of recording in the guise of relational imprint of a representation of the calculated field of imprint vectors. Also disclosed is a method for authenticating a candidate image with respect to an authentic image implementing the method for determining a relational imprint.
