Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a purported authentication code and at least a purported destination element of a plurality of elements of a three-dimensional structure, the purported destination element resulting from following a purported authentication path through the three-dimensional structure beginning at a starting element of the elements; comparing, by the computing device, the purported authentication code to an actual authentication code and at least the purported destination element to an actual destination element, the actual destination element resulting from following an actual authentication path through the three-dimensional structure beginning at the starting element; in response to determining that both the purported authentication code matches the actual authentication code and at least the purported destination element matches the actual destination element, indicating, by the computing device, successful authentication; and in response to determining that one or more of the purported authentication code does not match the actual authentication code and at least the purported destination element does not match the actual destination element, indicating, by the computing device, unsuccessful authentication.
