13. From which to obtain conformed copies to the original certified from the new typology of authentication; as a the chain of authenticity, made upstream, is preserved in each of the digital copies obtainable of the alternative representation;

90 (Claims 9/12 dependents)

14. Which allow to apply the new typology of authentication, with the use of the device and its specific operating procedures, even to the paper version original and to the corresponding representation alternative and coincident, of a document signed by more appearers jointly,

15. Even with a document signed by a member with a disability;

95 16. Even a document to be produced in an anonymous manner;

17. And realize, at the same time, and with that single operation, the immediate ri-traceability of the document so authenticated, and its retrieval at a particular time and place, also on request, and to anyone;

Γ0061 The main objective of the invention (claim 1 ind.), is to realize a new typology of authentication

100 to be applied to any paper document, also written by hand, through the generating and imprinting directly on the sheet of paper, a chain of authenticity, included in the print, which be different for each use and for each document, in a way readable, visually verifiable, non-transferable; in which are inserted, not only the data related to the signer and to the document, but also, and simultaneously, those relating to the stamp's device; that they be so specific, to identify, unambiguously and unequivocally, that particular person,

105 document and device, linking them to each other; with which to demonstrate that that one and only one person, was able to affix on that one document, that single and unique number of stamped using that one and only device in one single operation, obtained in an unrepeatable way through some variables of the mold and a security code; rendering, the paper document with its contents, unique exemplar existing in original authentic, certified and protected, not repudiable in its integrity, not reproducible and not

110 photo-copyable, and therefore, not falsifiable and not reusable, for other purposes or different content on different documents; with official and legal value of proof, and then, alone, necessary and sufficient. In himself and for himself, for any use, with only the affixing of the stamp imprinted by the portable device in question, and in a single operation, without the use of any link, process, apparatus, or instrument, additional and any subsequent operation.

115 10071 The first invention, which is realized with the main objective at the base of the invention, consists in to realize a machine, that affixes a single imprint printed with two types of ink different simultaneously, making it non-transferable and can not be reproduced on a another document, and therefore not reusable (claim 1 indep.).

The imprint, containing data and codes, printed on the paper document directly from the portable device, is 120 formed by a part of the mold made with ink by changeable properties (cangiante), glitter type, metallized or the like, which alters its properties and colour gradients, if acquired and / or photo-copyed, and so visible, but not reproducible in its original form (claim 2 dip, from 1): and a second part, made with invisible ink, UV type, that is physically present but not visible, and that does not appear if acquired and / or photo- copyed, as only readable by a UV ray, and therefore non-transferable (claim 3 dip. from 1); thus the imprint 125 will can not be caught and reproduced in any manner and on no other document, without that the same be incomplete and altered. [0081 The second inventive step that completes the main achievement of the objective, is to tie the fatherhood, and therefore the properties of the paper document, made single authentic and original from the device, to its signatory, which, in turn being the ' sole possessor of the holder of that specific device, is

130 directly and unambiguously attributable to its use (claim 1 indep.l.

This invention allows to preserve the integrity of the chain of authenticity, signed document-device-holder, since the subject device, imprint with its mold, and binds between them, the specific data identifying the device (claim 4 dip, from 1o2 ). which mark ft as a single piece existing product with those extremes; specific data identifying of the owner (claim S dip, from 1o2) and of the activity for which is using that

135 single device, with which signs that document, which distinguish him as the only person existing owner and user of that device; and data specific identifying of the single paper document (claim 6 dip, from 1o2). of its processing, and serial number stamped of the device with which it was signed, always different because variable progressively to each use, that identify as unique exemplar existing stamped by that specific device exclusively by its sole owner; and in the end, the security code (claim 7 dip, from 1o3).

140 which since, variable and different for each use, randomly and therefore not predictable, binds and unambiguously associates, all previous extremes, between them, and to that one specific use of the device, with which it is imprinted that unique exemplar existing of imprint, since the same changes at each mold. r0091 The anti-counterfeiting obtained by the combined use of previous inventions, in contrast to what do the devices present in the state of the current technique, which binds simultaneously and unambiguously

145 between them, the document, the signer and the device; makes the paper document, with a simple visual analysis, immediately identifiable as unique exemplar original, attributable to its owner and its production, giving to it thus, the requirements necessary for having official value, of authenticity, not repudiability, and integrity, and thus, necessary and sufficient to himself, and for himself, for whatever its use, as proof of its authentic value, as provided for rule of law and as can deduce within the meaning of specialized studies

150 such as that of CNIPA notebooks CONSIP.

[0101 So adding accessorily, to the innovative working of the device, with the previous inventions, the use of all intuitive and obvious applications and possible functions, supplied from the technological features, hardware and software, of an electronic locking system of the type commonly present and widespread in the current state of the art, you can realize the operation of acquisition and archiving, in the device, of the

155 document and its contents, in a protected and corresponding way to much do the existing devices, among which cites U.S. 2008314265, according a procedure, therefore, already known in the art in question, and therefore, already recognized and accepted as valid, but of which, the present invention constitutes an inedited and innovative version, which provides tools for the invention of new procedures and more inventive activities described below.

160 [0111 The second fundamental objective (Claim.8 indep.). Is to realize a further I support, to the official character of the document so stamped and signed, already fully achieved by the only affixing the stamp's imprint, which acts as a double-check of authenticity, by providing, an alternative representation and coincident of the same object, obtained in a similar way as do other existing devices, which be linked and unambiguously associated with the paper document, with a direct and unequivocal correspondence, trough

165 alternative forms and coincident, of the imprint and the chain of authenticity, made for the paper document in order to apply and enforce, the new type of authentication invented, even in this alternative version of the document, in order to enrich the official and probative value; as you can evict, at rule of law, according with specialized studies such as that of CNIPA notebooks CONSIP, having already obtained with the application of previous inventions, an imprint, which makes the signature of the document, the stamp of the same and

170 the use of the device with which it was stamped, uniquely attributable to its owner, the paper document so authenticated, can not be disowned , unless the signer is not able to give the proved otherwise (article 21 of Legislative Decree 82 2005); or, in our case, using not only, the alternative and coincident representation of the same, but that be in a autonomous way guaranteed and certified in its authenticity, and then non- repudiable, with the same effects and value of the original paper document, independently from same

175 {0121 From this principle, boms the third inventive activity of the work under discussion, which, by exploiting the inventions described, and the common functionalities of the electronic locking system, creates a specific procedure called, unambiguous association in archiving (claim 8 indep.V with which, as well as acquire and record the document and its contents, together with the name of its signer, as happens with other devices, binds them inseparably in a way secure and certified to the physical characteristics of the

180 document itself, to the indication of its typology, to the annotations inserted relating to its elaboration, to its drawing up and to the subjects interested and involved by the same, to which the document relates, with the specific data and identifying of the chain of authenticity made and stamped with the imprint, on the paper document, by the device; that is, with those of the person of the signer and owner of the device, its business, its references, its contacts and its extreme digital of signature and digital check; and those of the

185 device that was used for those stamped, in turn, related to the paper document from the progressive order number of the imprint , with the date and time in which the same it was set and imprinted, on a paper document; and in the end, with the security code of protection the document, identifying of the single operation of stamped, of fusion with all the other extreme of the imprint; associating univocally with one another, all of these data, in a way certificated, inviolable and unchangeable, freezing all of this informations

190 into a single compressed folder, containing all related files, protected by password and stored in the device, and therefore, always available and that can be called back, in various ways.

{0131 The fourth inventive activity realized with the device in question, consists in realizing the two main objectives as mentionated earlier, and to apply the inventions to the base of the work, also to a document signed contemporary by more appearers, such as for example a contract, making of this a paper document,

195 unique exemplar authentic and not photo-copyable and can not be counterfeit, of which being able to provide double check, through a specific procedure called multiple association (claim 9 dip, from 1 or 8). According to this innovative procedure, each signer affixes his signature and his stamp with the device in question, on every single copy of the paper document to authenticate jointly, thus obtaining, each of them their own paper copy authenticated and validated by all the appearers, made unique exemplar original by

200 appending individual single stamps with single devices, which therefore will have generated codes and data always different at each stamped; at the end, each of the signer will transmit through its device, the unambiguous association of its paper copy, and will receive at the same time in its device, those of others; at the reception completed, the device will make a further operation of association, defined multiple, with which will tie all of this information, in a way certified, inviolable and unchangeable, among them, freezing

205 them in a single compressed folder, containing the relate files, protected by password and archived in the device, obtaining so, every one of them, also their own copy of alternative representation and coincident, authenticated and validated by the receiving of the single document from all appearers.

{0141 The fifth invention made with the device in object, allows to realize the two main objectives and apply inventions, also for a document signed by a user visually disabled, or belonging to most of categories of

210 differently able or of users to limitated capacity (claim 10 dip, from 1 or 8). Exploiting the evident and intuitive functionalities of the electronic block, the device in object provides the possibility to this category of users, to fulfil the inventions described up to now, being able to perform all operations relating to the same, in full autonomy and independence, both through commands vowel, for the use and complete management of the device and of its functionality, which, with voice input and audio reproduction from the device of the 215 contents, notes, data, and codes relating to the device ,to the owner and to the document, produced by the imprint, with which they will can get, their paper document, returned unique original example from the stamp in object and from the chain of authenticity of new invention; to connects , through the unambiguous association in archiving, to the acquisition in the device, of the audio reading of the document, which in the case, will been developed in the appropriate mode for the blinds, and of the related notes included locally,

220 in addition, or alternatively, to other modes of acquisition, obtaining, therefore, this category of users, their alternative representation and coinciding of the original paper document, verifiable at any time with the listen again audio of all data and files, allowing them to benefit and avail from the resulting effects and values of the law already mentioned. The present invention also makes it possible for these users to take part in this modality, to the joined signature of a document to more signers, according to the innovative procedure of

225 the multiple association put into effect the same results and objectives.

Γ0151 The sixth invention made with the device in object, allows to realize the two main objectives and apply the inventions, also for a document, or a documentation, that must be produced anonymously, in order to instruct practices or participate at procedures that require this modality, making it possible the unambiguous association and the authentication of the document to his signers without revealing the

230 identity, but of which can claim and prove the paternity certified at any time, in a way completely safe and protect, thanks to the chain of authenticity realized by the device (claim 11 dip, from 1 or 8). Taking advantage of the inventions described, and the common functionalities of the electronic block, applying the normal procedure of working of the device, it will be possible to block the imprint of the data of the owner and of the device, leaving on the paper document only the imprint of the field containing the data identifying

235 of the document and the random code protection; however, in the internal memory of the device will be reproduced the entire imprint of the stamp, complete with all the data and codes, including those of the holder and of the device, in association unambiguous to the document, its contents and the notes stored, in which will be cited the use, and therefore prove unambiguous the correspondence, thanks also to the coinciding with the random code of protection with that imprinted on the document, in such a way as to

240 make always possible, and at any time, for the holder of the device signer of the document, to prove the certified paternity, also in the eventual remote casualness, of a perfect and analytical homonymy, because, even if happens this event, the serial number production of the device would be necessarily different, and therefore, reconnects it unequivocally to that owner, as the corresponding to the imprint imprinted on the document, in the folder of the unambiguous association in storage.

245 Γ0 6 The seventh invention, corns from the inventive activity of having guaranteed and tied to the paper document so stamped, the integrity of the chain of authenticity, obtained by the invention of the device in question, which, utilizing the various functionalities of acquisition and storage, was reproduced and unambiguously associated, with all its extremes and data, to its representation alternative and coincident, within the memory of device; made, in this way, the invention of giving the paper document, and its

250 alternative representation , their unequivocal ri-traceability, (Claim.12 dip. from 1o8.) that therefore, may be identified and may be requested by contacting directly, or, tracing, the holder, signer and / or his office, at any time and from one anywhere in the world, from any type of user were to receive or examine, any document stamped and authenticated by the device invented in this way.

6 - BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION AND ITS EFFICACY

10311 The fundamental effectiveness of the invention, which enables to solve one of the most important and delicate technical-specific problems, consists in having achieved the objective to associate and link, unambiguously, in a way, safe, secure, and protected, the content and value of a paper document to its 370 signer and to the device with which he has authenticated and signed it in original, fixing in such a day, at such a hour, also being able to provide a double check to official value through its alternative representation and coincident.

[0321 The result is achieved by the invention of a chain of authenticity: the document signed - stamp's device - holder signer, made with the device in object, which binds indivisibly these factors between them, 375 through the random security code, since, unambiguously associated to the single operation of affixing imprint, physically constituted, in turn, all of these elements, which then form an integral part, and to which, therefore, are unambiguously associated; and since, the chain of authenticity realized, is imprinted directly on the single physical sheet of paper, therefore, physically present in the entirety of its elements, and then, clearly readable, directly and immediately verifiable in its contents, with a simple visual analysis, made non- 380 transferable and not photo-copyable on other documents, by the physical presence, but not readable, of he random security code, you get that, any kind of paper document, also handwritten, signed and stamped with this device, it becomes unique exemplar exsisting, authentic and original, not falsifiable and not reusable, at full legal validity, usable for any kind of use, and whatever way; bringing and bind, also, through the use of standard functionalities already widely used in the current state of the art for electronic 85 devices, the same chain of authenticity created for the paper document stamped and signed, even to its alternative representations and coincident stored on the device, using the procedure of the unambiguous association in archiving. 10331 The effectiveness of the present industrial invention, consists also, in having achieved this important objective, and solved this remarkable technical problem-specific, with only the affixing of the stamp,

390 according the procedure of functioning of the device in a single operation, completely independently; with the maximum comfort, flexibility and functionality, using an apparatus of small size, handy and easy to carry, at high autonomy, even of energy for functioning, avoiding issues related to power failure, connecting cables, times and periods of functioning for connections and / or transmissions required and without any kind of waiting, to make formally recognized the procedure, and the valence of the

395 document stamped, which instead is effective in itself in the moment of its completion, without the aid and the support of computers, software, tools and accessories of various types, of identification, coding and decoding, licenses or applications, keys and protections, in order to apply the correct procedures for use and the solutions reached by the device in subject, contrary to what happens rather then, in the case of the above digital signatures, digital stamps, graphic symbols or glyphs two-dimensional, and the like.

400 [0341 The use of the device in question, gives the paper so stamped, the requirements of "authenticity", that is, to be able to establish with certainty the identity of the author of a document, of "integrity", and be able to fix and to make sure whether a document has undergone counterfeits and "not repudiability", to constitute objective proof of authorship of the document, necessary and required to a document, and its uses, in order to have documentary value and effectiveness probatory, in accordance and rule of law,

405 such as enounced and deduced from the study of CNIPA and notebook CONSIP, guaranteed and proven as a: the possession and use of the device, according to its operation, are immediately connected to its owner and proprietary, because in the imprint are reported his personal identifying data and activity, associated in a way unambiguous, to the extreme of producing of the instrument with which to affix the stamp, and to those of identification of the document, through the chain of authenticity achieved, which

410 proves the authenticity and not-repudiability with test function; and as a, the use of the device, allows you to get a digital version, and alternative and coincident with the original paper exemplary, bound to this last, by the same chain of authenticity, which moreover changes at each time of a stamp, linking then unambiguous to that single operation, and from the security code, not photo-copyable on other document, which is on paper but that you do not see, and that on the contrary it is present, visible and corresponding in the digital,

415 obtaining therefore, that the data and contents included in the document not be manipulable and / or alterable, and that are verifiable and comparable in the two versions, paper and digital, certifying the signer at the same time, and not to allow any tampering or opposition of the same, which unequivocally demonstrates the integrity, and once again the not repudiability in the function of double check.

I03SI Having created and unambiguously associated, with the use of the device, the chain of authenticity to

420 the paper document and its alternative representations stored, obtaining proof of authenticity from paper, and double check of authenticity from the alternative representation, giving the requirements asked of value official and probatory, allows to perform all the operations of reproduction, distribution and immediate use, of the original so stamped and its innumerable copies obtainable, both in print and digital version, obtained in a way photo-static or with other equipment or type scanner. The effectiveness of the use of

425 copies of a document certified by the device in question, which makes these operations and uses more safe and secure, it is especially evident in their value, with the resulting benefit of a copy corresponding to the original, acquired automatically, because for each of them is preserved integrates the chain upstream of authenticity, and in both versions, allowing all the infinite possible uses, being always demonstrable the correspondence, and then the validity, in every moment, because: rendered so by definition, by the

430 unambiguous association in archiving, with which will always be able to demonstrate, or to contest the authorship and the conformity to the original, thanks to the correspondence of the imprint visible on the copy without the random security code, why not catchable with the complete one, however, and is linked to the random security code present and visible within the device; comparing them with the only original paper, also made from this security code invisible, that will be in possession, or of the owner of the device, or the

435 person receiving the document, and for which it will always be possible to demonstrate conformity of the copies produced by them and the uses of the same done, or with the original paper document itself, in one case, or with its alternative representations stored on device, in the other, thanks to the editable notations at the time of the association phase, in which you can specify precisely the uses and / or recipients of the documents produced, which will be associated with the imprint, at the same paper

440 document, and to its digital representation, and then inherited from the copies, of which, therefore, certify and support the source from which it was produced; thanks to the same procedure of functioning of the device, which before requires the affixing of the imprint on the paper, and then automatically, achieving forcedly the acquisition, to associate to those related codes and data produced from the imprint, giving as the only other possibility cancellation of the same imprint, generating thus an implicit correspondence in

445 itself, because you can not acquire a different document from that stamped, brining the same imprint, given that the security code is not transferable, and the serial code of the document changes with advance automatic progressive with each use; also the procedure does not end if you do not complete the acquisition, and therefore, even if it was made with a vacant document, or different, necessarily will miss its imprint, dropping the holder of the device in contradiction with himself; nor could realize from an another to

450 associate it, since it is not possible to make a new imprint, even in this case, if you have not completed the acquisition phase; therefore it will be necessary to acquire the document stamped by the imprint or to cancel the procedure and the same imprint, thereby ensuring, that any copy is obtained, of a document so stamped, will have its corresponding unambiguous in the device memory; and in the end, the particular effective, which makes always guaranteed the immediate distinctness, of the reproductions from the unique

455 exemplar original papery, thanks to which you can always demonstrate or challenge the correspondence, consists in the two elements of alteration of the trace of the imprint, the first, of the security code, which, because it is invisible, it is not catchable by a normal playback tool, and then will not be physically present in the copy, and even if you tried to play it by capturing somehow could alter its characteristics and those of the other contents, data and codes, belonging to the imprint, so as instantly recognizable; and the

460 second is the imprint of the other data and codes, always visible instead, which will be always different from the original in a way obvious and immediate, denouncing its characteristic of reproduction, for the appearance and colour of the same, that will be, different, dull and faded in comparison to the originals, although if you tried to play them in some way, because imprinted with ink by changeable properties (cangiante).

465 (0361 The use of the device in question, according to the procedure of multiple association, produces considerable utility and high effectiveness of rendering secure and anti-counterfeiting, all those documents and procedures, in the field of trading and arrangements, private and not, signed jointly of two or more persons at the same time, and in general all documents that may be prepared without external entities and individuals, that act as guarantors, such as for example an assignment, a contract, a private

470 writing and the like. This particular application, allows to avoid that, whoever claims some rights on that document, as a signer of the same, or third parties that want to make use, for any reason of that document; can alter the text or contents, manipulate, tamper with, or replace it with another, always being able to certify, demonstrate or contest, on the contrary, the authenticity and correspondence, with proof and double check, at value official and legal, as described in the preceding paragraphs, as a: in addition to what has been

475 described in above, also valid for this type, whether by one of the signers, or third parties, is claimed, a hypothetical document that declare to be made with one of those devices that has the same imprints and signatures, but that is different from the others, the immediate individuation of forged document, is ensured by the operation of the device, as a you can not acquire a document different from the original stamped paper, stating the same imprint as described in the preceding paragraphs, and therefore this document

480 different, with the automated procedure and forced of unambiguous association for the validation of the imprint, will must necessarily have been acquired and associated at that date and time from the device of the signer, and then available in the corresponding folder, which makes it non editable and non-erasable, to be actually been imprinted from that device, and then, simply will be sufficient verify the absence of even only one of these elements, or of the other under the procedure, to demonstrate counterfeiting; and more as in

485 the case of a document to multiple joint signatures, according to the multiple procedure, each subject, by sending his device, at the time of the authentic document, the other signatories, its alternative representation containing the signatures and stamps of all, and receiving them, he declared in self-certification, the correspondence of the original paper document with the joint signatures, to those graphic and text files, acquired and sent by his device, in that this date and time, and therefore, can not in any way assert or

490 prove, at a later time, that the contents, pages, terms, conditions features, settings of the document itself, may be different from those which he had sent, on the contrary, however, thanks to this principle, it will always be possible to demonstrate and to document , at any time, what were the contents of the agreement that all signatories had agreed at the same time and on that date and time.

F0371 The handling of documents so stamped and authenticated, is made even more efficient by the use 495 of some functionality accessory of the device such as the possibility too affix with the device a stamp on each page of the document to be authenticated, using the basic procedure several times; the insertion of notes document, in which to provide all the analytical informations of, details or informative, concerning the same, its transmission and use; the full utilization of the device in different modes video, image and audio, for management, insertion, acquisition, processing and consultation, alternatively or in conjunction 500 with one another, and where all the content will be relevant, scan the document to be signed with the use of the device, in which all contents will be corresponding; to digitize the document that will be signed on with the use of device, or load into a digital version, with which to obtain the sequence numbers, indicative of the quantitative characteristics of the text and format of the document, or a string D5, SH1 and the like, or to encode of the document digitalized with the private key of the holder the from the inside of the 505 device, that can be decoded with the public key affixed in the imprint; to transmit a copy of the document by PEC address associated to the device, connecting it to the internet.

10381 Each of these procedures, used at the same time or in part, allows: to consolidate still more the secure and protected handling of the document produced and to give a further indication of the features of the document, enriching the visual verifiability immediate and direct. The introduction of the notes

510 document, the application of the procedure on each page and the full utilization of the device in all modes, and for the benefit of any category of user, and at any age, allows to face and solve efficaciously all the requirements related to the complex nature of a document, such as clauses written in very small, very full pages and long, number of pages high, which, however, will be acquired, by reading them in full, or effecting video shot, digitized and protected. In timing and way fast and comfortable. The transmission of the

515 alternative representation of the document, and / or its digitization, and / or the coding of the same with the private key from the device through the associated PEC, allow the possibility of providing to the recipient receiving, of the single copy of the paper document unique exemplar existing original, authenticated with the device, and / or by its representations and conformed copies, signed by the holder signer, the chance to prove the authenticity in a autonomous and independent way, also in period following at the writing and 520 receipt of the same. The transmission of the document by the PEC and the insertion of notes document in the device, with the indication of the recipient, ways and analytical data of the delivery of the document, the purpose and use related to its writing, also as attachment to the PEC, representing for the holder signer, the certified and demonstrable guarantee, that it has delivered its document unique exemplar existing original, or its conformed copy, and its alternative representations to that recipient, and for that purpose,

525 identifying unambiguous, as receiver and responsible of use and treatment of those documents, which in turn could use the same procedures to forward them, or to transmit other its conformed copies, always with certified possibility to demonstrate, or to charge, its correspondence and paternity, thanks to the chain of authenticity upstream.

10391 The invention of the device in question for the authentication and treatment, of a document signed,

530 rendered unique exemplar original, make the use of the fictional work of remarkable utility and elevated efficacy, since, thanks to the application of its procedures, and to the functionality of transmission with PEC associated, both in the phase of independent guarantee of demonstrable authenticity, for the recipient and receiver, which of happened delivery and to the purpose of the original document for the holder signer, explained to the two previous points; realizes a real and proper chain of delivery of the original document

535 from which to can obtain immediate traceability, tracing that is, analytical, historical, technical and administrative path of evolution of possible procedures of the uses, purposes, and sources of responsibility, applicable also to the infinite conformed copies reproducible, always with certified possibility to prove or to charge, its correspondence and paternity, thanks to the chain of authenticity upstream.

[Q40J Further efficacy of remarkable importance of the device in object, through the use of normal

540 functionalities already widespread in the state of the current technique for electronic devices, consists in obtaining an archive recording of masses, with historical documental value, which allows the ri- traceability of all the documents stamped, and of their contents, from the first use of the device until that time, also in period following at the writing, always physically present in the device, and therefore always available, updated, complete, and orderly, which makes them, usable, reproducible, viewable, and that can

545 be consulted, listened to again, with the keypad, the micro camera and display; liable to be called up for date, for code, for typology of document in order to verify the contents, and what and many types have been processed, and of that typology, and when, for what recipients or signers, many for the same signer or recipient, for a office, for a specific use, for a transmission of the same, in a way telematic or by regular mail, their succession in the time, and the same nature of the documents, being able to reconstruct the various

550 relationships documentary interchanged with other parties, the various processes and trends, of partnerships, negotiations, consultations, testing, processing progressions, and relationships in general; which allows to group them, to compose same fascicle and gatherings, historical, thematic, and / or for subject, of career, treatment, rapports, monitoring; indexing them with all these elements, in order to facilitate and speed up their search through any one of this data. This functionality allows to can furnish or

555 to forward, with any one of the mode and effective procedures described to the preceding points, a conformed copy or alternative representation of a document produced and authenticated with the device, unequivocally ri-traceable in the archive, to anyone, and in any part of the world, had recovered, received or viewed a document so stamped, and request it, being able to contact directly, or to track down the owner of the device or the office of his office, immediately identifiable by the same stamp, or writing to the

560 address PEC device, associated to the device, viewable in the imprint.
