“Device and Methods for Authenticating a User Equipment” Patent Now Granted in Europe, Italy, USA, Japan, China, and Israel
ToothPic’s third patent, “Device and Methods for Authenticating a User Equipment,” has now been officially granted in all six major regions where we have applied: Europe, Italy, USA, Japan, China, and Israel. This patent protects a groundbreaking technology that enhances security and privacy in device authentication by leveraging unique camera sensor fingerprints.
What Does the Third Patent Cover?
The patent describes a method for authenticating a user device such as smartphones or tablets by using a unique “fingerprint” derived from the device’s image sensor. This fingerprint is a complex pattern of tiny and unique imperfections inherent to each camera sensor, making it a reliable and unclonable digital identity for the device.
Our Patent Portfolio: Protecting Innovation Globally
ToothPic’s commitment to innovation is reflected in our growing portfolio of patents, each protecting a key aspect of our device-based authentication and image search technology. Here’s a quick overview of our patents:
