VERIFICATION OF AUTHENTICITY OF DOCUMENTS BASED ON SEARCH OF SEGMENT SIGNATURES THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17457508 titled 'VERIFICATION OF AUTHENTICITY OF DOCUMENTS BASED ON SEARCH OF SEGMENT SIGNATURES THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application proposes a solution for verifying the authenticity of documents. It suggests a method that involves calculating signatures for different segments of a document and searching for these signatures in a memory structure that contains signatures of segments from authoritative documents. The authenticity of the current document is determined based on the search result. The application also includes a computer program and a computer program product for implementing this method, as well as a system for its implementation.
- The method involves calculating signatures for segments of a document.
- These signatures are compared with signatures of segments from authoritative documents.
- The authenticity of the current document is determined based on the search result.
- The application includes a computer program and a computer program product for implementing the method.
- A system is proposed for implementing the method.
Potential Applications
- Document verification in various industries such as finance, legal, and government.
- Ensuring the authenticity of certificates, licenses, and other important documents.
- Preventing fraud and forgery in document-based transactions.
Problems Solved
- Verifying the authenticity of documents can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Existing methods may not provide a reliable way to determine if a document is genuine.
- Fraud and forgery of important documents can have serious consequences.
Benefits
- Provides a more efficient and accurate way to verify the authenticity of documents.
- Reduces the risk of fraud and forgery in document-based transactions.
- Enhances trust and confidence in the validity of important documents.
Original Abstract Submitted
A solution is proposed for verifying authenticity of documents. A corresponding method comprises calculating signatures representative of segments splitting a current document. The signatures are searched in an authoritative memory structure containing corresponding signatures of segments splitting authoritative documents whose content is certified by authoritative sources. Authenticity information of the current document is determined according to a result of this search. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a system for implementing the method is proposed.
