Well, if someone claims to be a clone of me, or be me from the future, I have an authentication protocol in place to verify whether this is true instantly. Don't you?
Madame Mim:
No, this is why we we're hoping you'd share the protocol - just in case.
Question: are you assuming that clones would have some inherent memories/knowledge that you could question them on for identification or do you have a DNA lab available at short notice?

J. M. Pescado:
Well, interesting clones and future-versions are assumed to know what you know. If they don't, they're not really the INTERESTING kind of clone that needs authentication, merely an artificial twin. This method is also useful for ferreting out good twins from alternate dimensions. I know I don't have an evil twin, because I'm the evil one.

No, and I'd have no idea how to go about authenticating. Hell, if it was my clone from the future it would probably know MOAR than me.
Madame Mim:
Prevarication I cry - this is the first mention of the qualifier 'interesting' and it all strikes me as subjective. A protocol should not be based on first determining whether the 'invading force' is interesting or not.
Also, it bears mentioning, that there are a number of sci fi plots based on a person believing the doppleganger coming from the alternative universe is the 'evil twin' and they're the 'good one' and finding out that this is not so. You may wish to add an option to your protocol based on the outre concept that you just might be the 'good' Pescado. Please be sure to have a cast iron protocol (and quick lime) in place if this is so.
