Abstract
There is disclosed a method of handling a sensor, comprising the steps of: challenging a subset of sensor components under uniform conditions; receiving output signal values from said subset; for each component, determining the statistical moment of order i of the temporal distribution of the output signal value of said each sensor component; and determining one or more pathological sensor components whose sum of the distances of values to other components of the subset is greater than a threshold, the distance between two sensor components being determined by the difference of the istatistical moment values of the two temporal distributions associated to the components obtained when challenging said subset under uniform conditions. Described developments comprise the use of imaging sensors, key or identifier generation, authentication mechanisms, determination of thresholds, use of helper data files, adjustments of light sources and/or beam shaping, handling of lossy compression and of videos.
