  • Publication number: 20250097217
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving the security of computer authentication using light communications data provided by, e.g., environmental Li-Fi light sources. A mobile device may receive light communications data from a light source, such as a Li-Fi-enabled light bulb in a physical environment of the mobile device. That light communications data may indicate a variation in a modulation of light intensity of the light source over a time period. That variation might be used to provide a time- and/or location-specific key. The mobile device may determine the key by processing the light communications data and transmit a request for content that comprises the key. Access to content may be provided to the mobile device based on the key.

  • Publication number: 20250086997
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for verifying a document. An embodiment operates by receiving an initial image of a document and identifying a first imperfection on a feature of the document. Thereafter, the feature of the initial image is segmented into a first and second partially overlapping segment corresponding to a first and second portion of the feature, respectively. Subsequently, the feature's first portion is determined to be free from the first imperfection, and the first imperfection is identified in the feature's second segment. After receiving a second image of the document including the feature's second portion, the feature's second portion in the second image is determined to be free from a second imperfection. As a result, an image of the feature is created based on the first and second portions of the feature derived from the initial and second images, respectively.
