Abstract

It is an automated system through which the subscriber in the certification office can authenticate his documents using the personal computer connected to the Internet and the signature board and print it on a color printer from the headquarters of his facility. Whereas, the verification of the validity of the signature is done electronically by matching the signature properties with the characteristics of the subscribers' signatures saved in the databases of the certification offices. After making sure of the subscriber’s signature electronically, the subscriber prints the document that authenticates his color printer, which contains the text of the document, the subscriber’s signature and name, the subscriber’s establishment’s seal, a statement, the certification office’s stamp, the date and certification number, the place of printing, and the two-dimensional certification symbol that contains all Document information is encrypted. To verify the authenticity of the information, read the authentication code, decrypt and display the document information or by retrieving and viewing the document information from the system database, and compare it with the contents of the printed document to ensure the integrity of the document information from forgery or misrepresentation.
