SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING AUTHENTICITY OF DOCUMENTS

摘要

A system and method for verifying the authenticity of documents is provided. The method and system includes incorporating a machine readable code (102, 102a) to the document (101); storing the document and/or other useful information that assists in verifying the authenticity on a secure document verification system (SDVS) (104); the machine code (102, 102a), which contains a secure uniform resource locator (URL) optionally along with other information regarding the document, can then be scanned by a reader (103) such as a camera 103 attached to a computing device for example a smart-phone; the computing device would then, on extracting the URL, redirect to the secure document verification system (104) which then reveals the document and/or relevant information (105) regarding the document which accordingly verifies the authenticity of the document.
