The invention provides a method for impeding making a useful copy with an optical recording device of video content displayed on a screen, wherein the method comprises displaying the video content on the screen, illuminating with ambience light of an ambience light source the screen, the ambience light comprises light having a wavelength in the visible part of the spectrum, wherein the ambience light is controlled as function of the video content, and wherein the ambience light is intensity modulated with an intensity modulation having an intensity modulation frequency selected from the range of 40 Hz to 00 Hz.

A system and method for analyzing and rendering captured images and/or manipulating pixels to disrupt the capture process and/or captured images from a screen display thereby rendering all or part of the captured images not readily recognizable to a viewer.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture detect spoofing attacks for video-based authentication are disclosed. Disclosed example method to perform video-based authentication include determining whether a sequence of input images provided to perform video-based authentication of a subject exhibits a first region having fluctuating pixel values. Such example methods also include determining that the sequence of input images is associated with a spoofing attack in response to determining that the sequence of input images exhibits the first region having fluctuating pixel values.
