Abstract:
The invention notably relates to generating a measure of authenticity of an object ( 20 ) comprising a surface ( 30 ) comprising or covered by a non-uniform preexisting layer ( 40 ). A marking ( 50 ) has been printed on the surface ( 30 ) so that a property of the preexisting layer ( 40 ) is detectable through at least part of the marking ( 50 ). The marking ( 50 ) comprises a machine-readable representation of a code. The method comprises imaging (s 100 ) the marking ( 50 ); reading (s 200 ) the code represented by the imaged marking; generating (s 300 ) a signature based on the property of the preexisting layer ( 40 ) as detected by the imaging device ( 10 ) through at least part of the imaged machine-readable representation of the code; and generating of a measure of authenticity of the object ( 20 ) based on the read code and generated signature. The invention also relates to apparatuses, systems and computer programs for that purpose.

Claim (Index 6):
An imaging device, for generating a measure of authenticity of an object or for contributing in generating a measure of authenticity of the object, wherein\n the object comprises a surface at least partially comprising, or covered by, a base layer; the base layer has at least one of a reflectance, reflectance spectrum, reflection, and emission property that is non-uniform; a marking has been printed on a region of the surface in such a manner that one of the afore-mentioned non-uniform properties of the base layer is detectable by the imaging device through at least part of the marking; and the marking comprises a machine-readable representation of a code; the imaging device being configured for:\n imaging the marking; \n reading the code represented by the imaged marking; \n generating a signature based on one of the afore-mentioned non-uniform properties of the base layer as detected by the imaging device through at least part of the imaged machine-readable representation of the code; \n transmitting, to a processing device, the read code and the generated signature for enabling the generation of a measure of authenticity of the object; and \n generating a measure of authenticity of the object based on the read code and the generated signature.
