SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCRYPTED MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION USING IMAGING DEVICES AND IMAGE ENHANCEMENT
Methods and systems are described for performing multifactor authentication. An authentication code may be encrypted in optical indica. Optionally, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), DES (Data Encryption Standard), and/or a hashing function may be utilized to encrypt the authentication code. An image of the authentication code may be captured from a device having a display using a digital camera. The image may be in a compressed format and transmitted over a network to an image analysis system. The image analysis system may decode the optical indicia to obtain the encoded authentication data and may perform decryption on the decoded data. If a hashing function is utilized to encrypt the authentication data, the encoded authentication data may be compared to a hash of stored authentication data. If needed, the image analysis system may perform image enhancement prior to performing decoding, including contrast enhancement, deblurring, and/or image rotation. Image enhancement may be performed using a neural network. The authentication data and location data associated with the digital camera may be utilized to authenticate the device.

Mobile application data identification method and apparatus
Applicant's Smartphone application provides ticket-holding patrons an alternative, digital means of verifying personal identification at entry to a venue or event. The Smartphone application periodically generates a unique QR code (barcode) that contains a unique identifier (i.e., mobile device ID) which prompts the venue/event entry system to recognize the patron. No barcode (serving as a ticket, or authentication/verification, or otherwise) is downloaded from the system server to the Smartphone/mobile device client in contrast to prior art systems.

When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. In conventional systems, once validated, the scanner prints a paper stub that typically includes seat location data. Production of this paper stub can be dispensed with, and the associated data conveyed by the paper stub as well as additional information not contemplated or possible with paper stubs can be conveyed by an electronic stub or e-stub that resides on a device of the attendee, generally the same device employed to present the ticket information.
When attending an event at a venue, the attendee typically presents ticket information that is scanned by a venue scanner. The process associated with scanning can be dispensed with, which can improve attendee experiences, reduce costs associated with managing a venue, as well as other advantages. For example, instead of scanning a ticket at a point of ingress to the venue, a device of the user can self-scan the ticket, and then present indicia that indicates this process has occurred. The indicia can be presented to a guest services representative, who can verify that a valid ticket was redeemed by merely observing the indicia and without scanning.
