Abstract
Examples of the disclosure provide an apparatus for authentication of images. The apparatus comprises means for: receiving one or more images captured by an imaging device; extracting one or more light patterns from the one or more images where the one or more light patterns correspond to light reflected from at least part of an object that was positioned out of field of view of the imaging device when the one or more images were captured so that the at least part the object does not appear in the one or more images but light reflected from the at least part of the object that was positioned out of field of view creates the one or more light patterns in the one or more images; and determining if the extracted one or more light patterns correspond to a predetermined object to enable authentication of the one or more images.
