  • Patent number: 8639062
    Abstract: Image integrity in an archive can be verified using document characteristics. Embodiments of the invention provide a way to verify the integrity of a stored document image by determining document characteristics, which can also be embedded in the image file. Before allowing access to the image file by an application, the characteristics data from an image analysis can be compared to either or both of, characteristics information otherwise stored, or embedded characteristics data. The embedded data can optionally be encrypted. In example embodiments the data can include a result of an optical character recognition of contents of the document, a length of data describing the image, a percentage of a specified color of pixels in the image, or a checksum. Example embedding techniques can include those making use of a tagged image file format (TIFF) header, a steganographic watermark, or an image artifact.

  • Publication number: 20140025585
    Abstract: Token rules that facilitate determining whether to generate a token for use in a mobile transaction are stored in a memory. The memory also stores token criteria associated with a user. A processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, accesses the token rules and determines whether to generate the token by applying at least a portion of the token rules to the token criteria associated with the user. The token is generated upon a determination to generate the authorized token, and the token is generated before the mobile transaction begins. An interface, communicatively coupled to the processor, communicates the token to a mobile device associated with the user.
