SecureCode’s process is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, ensuring that documents are securely authenticated from creation to verification. The system is divided into two main processes: Preparation and Verification.
The process begins with data preparation, where the issuer gathers all necessary information and compiles it into a digital file. This file contains the data that will be encoded into the SecureCode, such as personal information, certification details, or other relevant data. The data preparation step is crucial as it ensures that all information is accurate and complete before proceeding to code generation.
Once the data is prepared, it is processed through the SecureCode system to generate a unique 2D barcode. This barcode is encrypted and encoded with the provided data, creating a secure and non-copyable code. The SecureCode is then stored as a .PNG image, ready to be integrated into the document. The generation process uses advanced cryptographic algorithms to ensure that each code is unique and resistant to tampering.
The SecureCode image is retrieved during the document printing process and is printed directly onto the document using standard printing equipment. High-resolution printing ensures that the SecureCode is clear, sharp, and easily readable, facilitating smooth verification. The printing process integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing organizations to enhance their document security without significant changes to their operations.
The document, now featuring the SecureCode, is issued to the end user. The SecureCode allows for easy and instant verification, ensuring that the document’s authenticity is protected. Once issued, the document can be verified at any time, providing ongoing security and peace of mind.
To verify a document, the SecureCode is scanned using a compatible scanner, mobile phone camera, or webcam. The scanning device captures the code and prepares it for validation. The scanning process is quick and straightforward, allowing for immediate verification of the document’s authenticity.
Once the SecureCode is scanned, the verification software reads the captured code and checks its authenticity using a verification key provided by the issuing authority. This step confirms that the document is genuine and has not been tampered with, ensuring the integrity of the information contained within the SecureCode.
If the SecureCode has been tampered with or is otherwise invalid, the system immediately displays an alert, notifying the verifier of the issue. This alert is a critical feature that helps prevent the use of fraudulent documents and protects the organization from potential security breaches.
If the SecureCode is valid, the data stored within the code is displayed on the screen, confirming the document’s authenticity and integrity. This final step provides reassurance that the document is genuine and has not been altered, allowing the verifier to proceed with confidence.
