Patent attributes
Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for detecting spoofing of a 3D object, using a 2D representation, in a mobile object authentication process, comprising capturing image data of the 3D object by a front-facing camera, to record a current spatial characteristic of the 3D object, while a front-facing screen displays an authentication pattern comprising a plurality of regions, wherein at least one of the regions varies in at least one of: brightness, position, size, shape, and color over time causing a variance of lighting effects which create highlights and shadows on the 3D object over time. The devices, systems, and methods thereby provide an efficient and secure process for determining if spoofing of the 3D object, using a 2D representation, is attempted in a mobile authentication process, by comparing the current spatial characteristic of the 3D object with a stored reference spatial characteristic of the 3D object.
