Abstract
A scanned image authentication system employing at least one image authentication station which is unable to process scanned images which do not belong to at least one individual scanned image category, the system comprising a gateway image processor operative for on-line filtering of an incoming scanned image to determine whether or not the incoming scanned image belongs to the scanned image category, and a computer-implemented interface operative to transmit each individual scanned image to the at least one image authentication station only if the gateway image processor has determined that the individual scanned image belongs to the at least one individual scanned image category.
