There is currently substantial interest from the Security Print and Authentication industries in the use of smartphones to authenticate and verify products from printed features. Past meetings of this conference have shown some of the printed features that have been produced with this in mind. However, with the rapid evolution of smartphone vision systems there are now opportunities for a new generation of print features to provide extra layers of security to documents and packaging. This work will illustrate the opportunity for a combined approach between print and electronic imaging communities to bring forward a new generation of features. However, it will also show that the different rates of secure document and smartphone product development cycles bring tensions that have yet to be resolved. The work is illustrated with some practical examples of the imaging capabilities of current smartphones. It is shown that the close focus performance of today's mobile video frame capture enables considerable opportunity for print inspection and authentication.
