  • Patent number: 11615199
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that may include designating specific information within a digital identification as secure user information and designating other specific information as non-secure user information, and provisioning user-specific authentication techniques to restrict unauthorized access to the secure user information. For instance, the secure user information may be prevented from being displayed on the digital identification without the submission of an access credential such as a user-specified code or a user biometric identifier.

  • Publication number: 20230009392
    Abstract: Methods for detecting digital or physical tampering of an imaged physical credential include the actions of: receiving a digital image representing a physical credential having one or more high value regions, the digital image including an array of pixels; processing the digital image with a tamper detector to generate an output corresponding to an intrinsic characteristic of the digital image, the tamper detector configured to perform a pixel-level analysis of the high value regions of the digital image with respect to a predetermined tampering signature; and determining, based on the output from the tamper detector, whether the digital image has been digitally tampered with.

  • Patent number: 11509477
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that may include validating user data pages extracted from a digital identification in circumstances where a user device that includes the digital identification is either unavailable or presently lacks network connectivity. For instance, an authorized device may be used to extract user data pages from the digital identification by either exchanging communications with the user device using a proximity-based data exchange protocol, or by using a physical identification card to identify the digital identification on a user record. The user data pages may then be validated by comparing checksums associated with user data pages against the checksums within the user record, and decrypting the user data pages using a decryption key that is variably designated by a security status assigned to the digital identification.

  • Publication number: 20220092333
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an active lighting system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first image of the physical document having a first glare signature and a second image of the physical document having a second glare signature that is different from the first glare signature; determining a first glare map of the first image and a second glare map of the second image; comparing the first glare map to the second glare map; and generating the digital image based on the comparison of the first and second glare maps.

  • Publication number: 20210398109
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for identification templates for identification search and authentication. In some implementations, obtaining first data that represents a physical document identifying a party to a transaction, providing the first data as an input to a machine learning model that comprises at least one hidden layer that is a trained security feature discriminator layer, obtaining activation data generated by the security feature discriminator layer based on the machine learning model processing the first data, determining based on the obtained activation data, that the transaction is to be denied, and based on determining that the transaction is to be denied, generating a notification that, when processed by the computer, causes the computer to output data indicating that the transaction is to be denied.

  • Publication number: 20210398128
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for updating a shared database and processing transactions. In some implementations, first data related to a transaction is received by a first enterprise transaction verification system. The first enterprise transaction verification system generates second data by obfuscating the first data using a machine learning model that has been trained to include a security feature discriminator layer and obtaining a set of activations output by a security feature discriminator layer of the machine learning model. The second data includes the set of activations and can be stored on a shared database where it can be compared with other activations from other transactions to aid in authentications and detections of fraud.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs, for counterfeit document detection. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining first data representing a first image, providing the obtained first data as an input to a machine learning model that has been trained to determine whether data representing an input image deviates from data representing one or more images of a physical document printed in accordance with a particular anticounterfeiting architecture, obtaining second data that represents output data generated, by the machine learning model, based on the machine learning model processing the obtained first data as an input, determining, based on the obtained second data, whether the first image deviates from data representing one or more images of a physical document printed in accordance with a particular anticounterfeiting architecture, and storing third data indicating that a document, from which the first image was obtained, is a counterfeit document.

  • Patent number: 10432618
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that may include verifying a digital identification using embedded encrypted user credential data that is not viewable to human eyes within the digital identification. For instance, the embedded encrypted user credential data may be variably encrypted by an encryption key that is designated by a security status assigned to the digital identification. The embedded encrypted user credential data may be extracted using an authorized device and decrypted using a decryption key that is associated with the encryption key designated by the security status. The decrypted user credential data may then be used to verify user information included in the digital identification.

  • Patent number: 10331291
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that include verifying a digital identification using visual indicators displayed to an authorized user. For instance, the visual indicators may be a set of graphical representations that are variably selected to be displayed on the digital identification. The visual indicator information may be provided to the authorized user to enable verification of the digital identification without any additional detector devices.

  • Patent number: 10257495
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that include generating a three-dimensional composite image of a user from a set of two dimensional facial images. For instance, a depth map may initially be generated for each of the two dimensional facial images based on depth information. The depth maps may be used to identify matching elements that are used to combine multiple two-dimensional images. The generated three-dimensional composite image may then be displayed on a digital identification of a user device. In some instances, the rendering of the three-dimensional composite image on the user device may be adjusted based on tilting motions.
