More of ‘On-Document verification’

Question – What do you mean by on-document verification?

Answer – In my last column I described an approach to document security that allowed a user to implement a 2-dimensional symbol and make use of a feature that allowed them to also include data that had been encrypted with a digital signature technology.

In that column I described how it may be used on checks to enhance security with the image copy of a check with CHECK21.

I also would like to discuss other potential uses for this technology that other industries could implement.

In the insurance industry, contracts in the form of insurance policies are issued to their customers. By including a 2D symbol that has been encrypted for each page of the total document, an entire document could be verified, greatly enhancing the ability of the issuing companies to resolve legal issues that are common to that industry.

Voter registration cards could be authenticated quickly, easily and securely if an encrypted symbol was included.

City, state or county tax bills could be secured and authenticated.

I would live to hear your ideas on how you imagine this exciting technology might help your company. Please feel free to send me your thoughts.
