Abstract
The requirements for authenticating the identity of the sender and ensuring the content integrity in printed paper documents have been growing. Paper documents are still used in the various secure transactions. Manual verification of large amount of documents to authenticate the sender and the content is difficult. The digital signatures can be implemented on each printed paper document to fulfill these requirements. The existing technologies make use of image processing techniques for creating and verifying digital signatures and are vulnerable to physical conditions of the document. Another currently available method takes whole content of the document to achieve the requirement and requires more complex procedures for implementation. This paper presents a novel scheme for securing the authenticity and originality of certificates issued by an authority by implementing unique digital signatures created from the selected contents (words or characters) of the documents. The method assures the content integrity and sender identity authentication.
