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.
Claims14
An identity-verifiable document where a recipient trusts the self-declared identity of the document, and the contents of its statements based on authentication of the document on account of measuring properties of the document and comparing these measurements to listed properties issued by the printer of the document;
- this being a randomized conductivity test, RCT, comprising:
- (i) a material layer painted on one or two surfaces of the document, constructed as a random assembly of materials of different electric conductivity, with w spots (ports) marked on the painted surfaces in a fixed, agreed upon locations, the “randomized conductivity surface” (RCS),
- wherein the recipients of the document authenticates the document by applying an electric current between arbitrary set ofp “plus” ports selected among the w ports, and a different arbitrary set of m, “minus” ports, such that m+p≤w, and thereby measures the effective electric resistance, R(p,m) of the document relative to the selection of thep positive (plus) and the m negative (minus) ports, and then
- comparing R(p,m) to a listed value for this measurement issued by the printer of the document,
- then repeating such measurement over different groups of positive and negative ports, for arbitrary number of measurements, then
- concluding, upon agreement between all measurements to their respective document printer listed values, that the document is authentic.
