Abstract
Manufacturing a counterfeit resistant document as a randomized assembly of material constituents with a large variety of electrical conductivity attributes, thereby achieving a unique set of physically measured properties of the document, so that a document verifier will be convinced of the authenticity of the document by comparing the results of real time measurements with measurements pre-recorded in a public ledger.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a document, wherein the document has a physical rectangular entity having specified thickness, length, and width, imprinted with distinguishing humanly readable markings;
- the document is being constructed as t flat, dove-tailed sections, where each section is one of n possible polymers of similar properties, except that each of those n polymers is doped with different measure of a conductive metal element and as a result each polymer i, for i=1,2, . . . n has a unique conductivity Ci;
- the t sections have arbitrary shapes and arbitrary sizes, wherein the t sections are attached to each other without open space therebetween,
- the shapes and the sizes of the t sections is determined by a computing device guided by random data as input;
- the face of the document is marked in m specified locations by electrical ports;
- the document is being placed on a document reader-recorder, wherein the document reader-recorder measure electrical conductivity and perform related computation;
- the document reader-recorder is connected to the m ports;
- the document reader-recorder measures electrical resistance, R(p,q) between arbitrary p⊂m ports that are being connected to the positive terminal of a battery placed inside the document reader-recorder, and different arbitrary q≤m−p ports that are being connected to the negative terminal of the battery;
- and since the shapes and sizes of the t sections is randomized, so is the value of R(p,q);
- the measurement of R(p,q) is repeated r times, each time with a distinct selection of the p ports and the q ports, so that no two measurements are conducted over the same set of p ports and q ports;
- the r measurements are being listed on a public ledger L;
- thereby the document is readied for distribution;
- the document is sent to a destination where the system performs an identity verification action to verify that the document at hand is the document identified in the public ledger, L;
- the verification process is carried out by placing the document on a reader-verifier, which is built as a part of the document reader-recorder, with an addition of a verification element, V;
- the reader-verifier is taking arbitrary v r measurements R(p,q);
- the V part of the reader-verifier is then comparing the v measurements with the corresponding values listed in the public ledger L;
- if the comparison is in the affirmative, then the reader-verifier is issuing a trust statement:
- expressing trust that the measured document is the one identified in the public ledger.
