1. A method comprising:
- receiving document information to be certified;
obtaining a signature from a member using a digital pad and an electronic pen;
comparing the obtained signature against at least one previously registered signature, and if the obtained signature matches the previously registered signature then;
selecting a previously stored certification image based on said registered signature;
encrypting the document information using a random key;
encrypting the random key using a system encryption key, wherein said encrypted random key is capable of being decrypted using a system decryption key;
generating a two-dimensional barcode coded to represent the encrypted document information and the encrypted random key; and
