We develop a novel technique for authenticating physical documentsby using random, naturally occurring imperfections in paper texture.To this end, we devised a new method for measuring thethree-dimensional surface of a paper without modifying the documentin any way, using only a commodity scanner.From this physicalfeature, we generate a concise fingerprint that uniquely identifiesthe document.Our method is secure against counterfeiting, robustto harsh handling, and applicable even before any content is printedon a page.It has a wide range of applications, including detectingforged currency and tickets, authenticating passports, and haltingcounterfeit goods.On a more sinister note, document identificationcould be used to de-anonymize printed surveys and to compromise thesecrecy of paper ballots. |
