Abstract
Today, many governments try to implement e-government to provide one stop service through digitization of conventional document and providing public service through cyber systems. However, the last and the most difficult problem with the current e-government projects is that the government cannot provide on-line solution for issuing government certificates through cyber operations, because of the possible forgery and illegal modifications.
In this research, an algorithm of generating visible anti-copy patterns is suggested to issue government certificates or bank certificates in cyber space. In this scheme, people can print certificates at home or in office using ordinary printers. Visible anti-copy patterns provide a solution to distinguish copied documents from original ones through naked eyes. In order to generate visible anti-copy patterns, this research examines characteristics of digital image input and output devices. Different from traditional anti-forgery methods that need special equipment, visible anti-copy patterns developed in this research can be easily recognized with naked eyes whether the document is originally printed or it is copied or scanned and printed.
