Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9913391A2] A method of generating and verifying secure documents (12) wherein the secure document (12) is printed with machine-readable symbols (28) representing physical parameters of the secure document prior to application of hand or machine-printed indicia, human and/or machine-printed indicia appearing thereon, biometrics (finger and voice prints), and transaction history. In another embodiment, a two-stage imaging or watermark process captures an image of indicia within an area defined by a ultraviolet coating (30), prepares a bit map thereof and encodes the bit map and/or a derivative thereof in machine-readable symbols that are then printed on the secure document (12). Intrinsic verification of the secure document (12) is accomplished by comparing actual physical measurements and scannings of the secure document with the data content of the machine-readable symbols appearing on the secure document. Extrinsic verification of the secure document is accomplished by comparing information content resident in local and/or remote databases concerning the secure document or its transfer with the data content of the machine-readable symbols appearing on the secure document.
