1. An ID document authentication method serving system users having remote, non-present end-users to be authenticated, the method comprising:
providing a platform communicating with the system users via a communication network, which receives ID document images provided to the system users by the system users' remote, non-present end-users to be authenticated, who captured or acquired said ID document images using imagers including smartphone cameras or scanners, thereby to define a multiplicity of images;
providing digital memory which stores data derived from the ID document images as received; and
using a hardware processor to compare at least one incoming ID document image to said data in said digital memory, including determining whether at least one characteristic of said at least one incoming ID document image is a characteristic found within said data which is stored in said digital memory, said data being derived from the ID document images as received from the remote, non-present end-users to be authenticated, who captured or acquired said ID document images using the imagers including the smartphone cameras or the scanners; and to generate an alert for said at least one incoming ID document image which has the at least one characteristic of said at least one incoming ID document image which is found within said data which is stored in said digital memory, said data being derived from the ID document images as received from the remote, non-present end-users to be authenticated, wherein
said at least one incoming ID document image includes an additional image, of a document and of at least one object external to the document, and wherein said characteristic of said at least one incoming ID document image which is found within said data which is stored in said digital memory, said data being derived from the ID document images as received from remote, non-present end-users to be authenticated, comprises a template which includes an image of said at least one object which is external to the document, and defining a template for each incoming ID document image,
the method determines whether the template of at least one incoming ID document image has been seen by the system before by determining similarity between the at least one incoming ID document image including the additional image, and at least one of the ID document images in the digital memory, and
the method compares the images in the digital memory with the additional image to detect conflicts in which plural documents all having a single template including the additional image and at least one of the images in the digital memory pertain to different people.
