Patent Images
1. A computer-executed method of processing information of a document to create an identification mark, comprising:
- receiving private information;
processing the private information to obtain a digital representation of the private information;
processing the document information to obtain a digital representation of the document information;
seeding a randomizer with the digital representation of the private information;
causing the randomizer to scramble the digital representation of the private information in response to the digital representation of the document information; and
producing an image of the scrambled private information.
