Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for authenticating and/or validating an identity of an object according to claim 1.
  • Methods of the type described here are essentially about clarifying two questions when checking license plates of objects, which can be packages, pieces of luggage, vehicles or the like, for example, namely first, is the license plate or a License plate authentic and verifiable and secondly, the license plate or license plate is assigned to the correct object.
  • a number plate of the known type is an official document and shows the number plate which is assigned, for example, to a vehicle when it is registered on the road. Apart from the number plate itself, other data such as the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the make and type of vehicle are stored in the vehicle register as part of the registration process.
  • VIN vehicle identification number
  • the license plate can thus be clearly assigned to a vehicle and equally to a vehicle owner and can thus be understood as the vehicle's public identity card. Analogous to one ID cards can contain one or more security features to make counterfeiting more difficult.
  • license plates In order to be able to identify a vehicle at any time, license plates must typically be permanently attached to the front or rear of a vehicle. The visibility and legibility of the number plates must be guaranteed at all times.
  • established methods of attaching license plates only offer limited protection against theft. Attaching a license plate directly to the vehicle body with screws or using a conventional license plate bracket does not prevent license plates from being removed from one vehicle and improperly attached to another quickly and with little effort.
  • a security tag Since a security tag is inside the vehicle, it is somewhat protected from unauthorized access compared to license plates. In addition, theft can be prevented by a special structure of the security label, which allows non-destructive detachment of the security label from the windshield prevented. Additional protection can be achieved through the use of security elements that make counterfeiting more difficult, such as a hologram.
  • the holographic security label which is issued with the number plates and vehicle documents as part of the approval process, can be cited as an example.
  • Self-adhesive security labels also exist as an electronic variant in the form of a printable smart label with an embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder.
  • RFID radio frequency identification
  • These solutions are often used for electronic toll collection, access control to private areas or the collection of fees for public parking spaces.
  • RFID security labels are not personalized for each vehicle, but are pre-produced centrally. Only a unique identification number is stored, which enables a toll or parking operator to assign the vehicle and the vehicle owner via its own database.
  • control mechanism In addition to an RFID reader (incl. antenna), the control mechanism also includes automatic license plate recognition using cameras.
  • Optical character recognition has always been used to prosecute traffic offenses, such as ignoring a red stop signal or exceeding the speed limit.
  • the characters on the license plate are digitized and compared with the vehicle register. Whether the license plate was stolen and misused can only be determined after a manual comparison of the photograph and vehicle data such as make, model and color. Likewise, it is not automatically detected whether a counterfeit license plate number is involved.
  • a self-adhesive RFID security label can also be manipulated under certain circumstances - or rather its identity can be stolen. Under certain circumstances, the chip data can be read out and thus the RFID security label can be cloned. Likewise, chip data can be demolished if necessary.
  • Another disadvantage of the known methods of reading RFID transponders is that only one or a few number plates or data can be read out per unit of time. This turns out to be difficult, particularly when checking vehicles that are moving on a road. It is not possible to detect all license plates, particularly when the vehicles are traveling at higher speeds and on multi-lane roads. However, capturing and verifying all identifiers is essential to authenticate and/or validate the identities of the objects or identifier and information about that object.
  • the object of the invention is to create a method with which the authenticity and/or the validity of an identity of an object and of information about the object can be checked with great reliability and with increased security.
  • a method for solving this problem is described by the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, a method for authentication and/or validation of an identity of an object, in particular of a package, a piece of luggage, a vehicle or the like, is provided.
  • the method also includes the authentication and/or validation of information about the object.
  • the identity and the information of the object are stored on at least two, preferably three, four or more data storage devices, one data storage device in each case being assigned to an identifier of the object.
  • each object or the vehicle has at least two, preferably three, four or more identifiers, each with a data memory.
  • These data memories are read out in a contactless manner by a reading device, which can be designed to be stationary or non-stationary.
  • the at least two identifiers are in any position on the object or on the vehicle and are read out in any order/permutation. Records containing multiple data items are stored on the data store in a specified order.
  • the data elements include the identity and/or information about the object of the identifier and/or a large number of directly accessible authentication codes, by means of which the object can be authenticated.
  • An essential measure of the invention is that each data element of the data memory is assigned to a permutation of the at least two identifiers.
  • This provides a single, directly accessible authentication code for authentication and/or validation of the identity of the object and information.
  • the use of at least two data stores, each of which is assigned to an identifier of an object, and the data structure mentioned on the data store enable reliable and secure authentication or validation of the identities and the information.
  • the method can be carried out in a simple and network-independent manner, in particular by reading out the data elements in any order and the simultaneous authentication and/or validation by comparing the data from the various data memories.
  • the reading device or reading unit or the scanner can be designed as a hand-held device or as a permanently installed unit on a bridge or a comparable object.
  • the reading is done by an optical sensor and/or electromagnetic transceiver (transceiver) and is essentially dependent on the data storage device to be read out or the combination of different data storage devices.
  • the invention provides that a data element of a data structure on the data memory is identical for all data memories that are arranged on identifiers of the same object in order to offer data records from associated data memories on the object for reading, with a data element of the first data memory read out as selector value for the associated
  • Data memory of the other identifiers on the object referred to or used can specifically search for the other data memories or identifiers that are assigned to the same object. If, for example, three license plates, each with a data memory, are arranged on a vehicle and the reading device has recorded a selector value from a first data memory, the reading device knows that further data memories are arranged on this vehicle and are to be recorded. The information about the number and the positions of the other data memories of the same object can also be stored on the first data memory. This targeted detection or reading by the reading device of a specific set of identifiers or data memories leads to a particularly efficient method, since all other data memories that are also in the effective range or reading space of the reading device are ignored.
  • the data memory associated with the first data memory only transmits data to the reading device that is stored in a memory address that is greater than the memory address of the data element or the selector value read first. Since the reading device already knows all the data of the data element that has already been read out, and this data is identical for all data memories, this data is not read out again by the device. Accordingly, as soon as the reading device has detected the selector value of the first data memory and searches for the other data memories, the data elements or Selector values of the remaining data memory for reading out by the reading device deactivated. As a result, not only can the reading capacity of the reading device be used very efficiently, but the entire reading process itself can also be shortened, as a result of which the entire method is made more efficient.
  • a particularly advantageous exemplary embodiment of the invention preferably provides for the reading device to map the permutation of a reading order of the data memory of the multiple identifiers to a directly accessible authentication code, such as the code is stored on the data memory of the object last read out.
  • a directly accessible authentication code such as the code is stored on the data memory of the object last read out.
  • the arbitrary reading sequence/permutation of the authentication codes is compared with the possible permutations stored on the data memory. If this permutation can be mapped to the stored values, the authentication and/or validation was successful. If the ascertained permutation or order of the data memory cannot be mapped to the stored data, no authentication and/or validation takes place.
  • the invention can also provide that after the data memory has been read out by the reading device, this identifier is muted so that the data memory of this identifier is not read out again in the further process and no further signals are generated.
  • This muting of the data memory of an identifier allows all capacities of the reading device to be used to find and read the remaining identifier or the data memory of the object that has not yet been read. The efficiency of the method can thus be further increased.
  • the time required to read out all data memories of an object can be reduced.
  • An exemplary embodiment of the invention can provide for each data memory to be divided into three sections, namely a first section, a second section and a third section.
  • the following data elements can be stored in the first section: CRC, PC, identity of the license plate / tag issuer, a registration number, the object identifier, in particular the vehicle identifier, information about the Position of the license plate on the object, information and number of other license plates on the same object and a selector value.
  • the following data can be stored in the second section: A clear identification of the data memory, in particular a transponder (TID), which cannot be changed later.
  • TID transponder
  • the following data elements can be stored in the third section of the data store: user information, such as signatures of individual data stores, authentication codes and possible permutations of all identifiers.
  • the method according to the invention can provide the following steps for the authentication and/or validation of the object: First the reading device reads the first, then the second and then the third section of the first data memory.
  • the first data memory is the data memory that is first detected by the reading device. It is conceivable that this data memory is read out as a second or third etc. data memory in a further reading method according to the invention. After the first identifier has been read out with the first data memory, this data memory is set to mute for the further procedure. As a result, this data memory cannot be read out again during this authentication or validation. Also, this data memory cannot emit any further signal. This can prevent this data memory from being read out a second time, as a result of which the entire method would be very inefficient.
  • the position of the tag on the object, the number and position of other tags on the same object and the selector value are then extracted from the first section of the first data store.
  • This extraction can be performed by a control device or a processor device which is connected to the reading device.
  • the reading device uses a second identifier searched for a second data memory.
  • the second identifier or data store is the data store that is found second. Only part of the data from the first section is read from this data memory.
  • the second identifier in turn sends a signal to the reading device that it has been recognized.
  • a part of the first section and the second and third sections of the second data memory are read out by the reading unit. All information about the object or the vehicle is now available to the control device.
  • this identity or information is authentic or valid can be tested in the next step.
  • the second identifier with the second data memory is now also set to mute for the rest of the procedure, so that the data memory is not read out again and also cannot emit a signal. If further identifiers are arranged on the object, at least some of the aforementioned steps can be repeated.
  • the authentication codes that have been read from all of the object's data memories are compared with the permutations stored in the last data memory that was read out. This comparison of the authentication codes with the permutations enables secure and reliable authentication and/or verification of the identity and information about the object. If the authenticity can be confirmed, the stored data or the identity and the information about the object are authentic, i.e. not manipulated or stolen.
  • a corresponding positive authentication/validation signal can be generated. If the comparison of the data shows that the license plates cannot be assigned to the same object, a negative authentication/validation signal is generated.
  • These signals can be, for example, an optical, acoustic or haptic signal.
  • the control device deposits a written entry for documentation in a stored data record and, if necessary, initiates further processing or evaluation of the data elements.
  • the invention can provide that the authentication/validation of the identity or information about the object during a relative movement of the object of the reading unit. It is irrelevant at what speed the object or vehicle is moving and how large the object density is in the effective range of the reading device. As soon as the reading device has determined a selector, only corresponding data is searched for, or the data memory of the object which has received a corresponding activation signal from the reading device reports back.
  • the RAIN® RFID technology is to be preferred over other technologies because it allows a variable number of license plates or tags to be read over distances of the order of 10 m and more.
  • a corresponding data memory has two logical memory parts, namely the inventory data, which are transmitted during the "first" readout, also called INVENTORY, and the additional data (second, third section). The additional data is accessed directly during readout (ACCESS).
  • ACCESS readout
  • the selector value is a command stored on each datastore that the reader can first read and then send prior to an "INVENTORY round" (the identification of multiple datastores/tags) to select a specific set of datastores identified by a code in the inventory data that is on the Data storage are stored, are identified. Only the selected data storage devices are allowed to respond during the readout.
  • the selector value is typically placed first in the inventory data. The rest of the inventory data is typically the identification data of the object (see above). The order in which the RAIN® RFID data memory reacts or is read out during inventory cannot be controlled.
  • the selector value may have an option that instructs the corresponding tag's data store to transfer only the inventory data stored on the data store after the selector value. Since the reading device already knows the selector value, it does not have to be read out again. This "truncate command" reduces the amount of data transferred from the data store, leaving more time to read other data stores. The selector value and data stored in the data memory before the selector value are also not transferred from the data memory to the reading device when the “truncate command” is used. This data is therefore not received by the reading device, which can be problematic for the well-known reading of RAIN® data memories. The method described here makes use of this otherwise rather problematic selective reading of data. In fact, a particularly high level of efficiency and security in the authentication and/or validation of the object can be achieved through this cascaded reading of a plurality of data memories and the selective recording of specific data.
