1. A desktop document provenance authentication system, comprising:
- a multi-function device sized for placement on a desktop, comprising;
an interface to one or more computing systems having access to at least remote network;
a downward facing RF scan head placed proximate to an upper portion of the multi-function device, and above an acceptor of the multi-function device; and
an optical scan head placed below said acceptor of the multi-function device and facing upward;
said acceptor comprising an input for accepting a document for authentication, wherein the document comprises a plurality of optically scannable text and a plurality of randomly distributed resonating RF elements; and
wherein placement of the document to said acceptor of the multi-functional device effectuates a substantially simultaneous optical and RF scan of the document, wherein the optical and the RF scan authenticate the document, and wherein the authentication is communicated at least locally and remotely via said interface to the one or more computing systems.
