Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012156274A1] The invention relates to a verification apparatus and a verification method. The verification method comprises the following steps: the security document (13) is oriented relative to a white light interferometer (2), an examination by means of white light interferometry is performed in at least one location (P1 -P3) on a surface to be examined (15), wherein a depth profile is produced in a direction of examination (19-1 to 19-3), a feature is derived from the depth profile, and the at least one derived feature is compared with one or more specifications in order to derive a verification decision.
