A method and structure for a secure object, as tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium. The electrical conductance or the resistance between the measurement electrodes and the counterelectrode is measured as a function of the development time, and the time profile of the conductance or the resistance is analyzed. Upon execution, the password verification tool performs an algorithm on the proposed password and determines triviality according to criteria specified in the algorithm. In certain embodiments, black level compensation may be applied between the defective pixel correction and lens shading correction steps, and inverse black level compensation may be applied between the lens shading correction step and the extraction of the statistics information. The VC server component may also include a server meeting module operative to create a virtual conference with the bridge owner when the link is accessed.
