Notarizable electronic paper
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing information in at least one protected region of at least some e-paper media;
preventing non-authorized access to the at least one protected region of the at least some e-paper media in accordance with one or more security methodologies; and
enabling inclusion of one or more verification markings in at least one access-restricted authentication region of the at least some e-paper media, such that at least one portion of the one or more verification markings is rendered void in an event that non-authorized access is detected with respect to at least one portion of the at least one access-restricted authentication region of the at least some e-paper media or at least one portion of the at least one protected region of the at least some e-paper media.

Abstract
A system and method helps to control “read” and/or “write” access to electronic paper (e-paper). Informational data may be on a restricted portion of e-paper material that is protected by a security methodology accessible to authorized entities. Some embodiments maintain a record of access activity regarding the restricted portion, and a record of access activity regarding use of an item or product or service related to the e-paper informational data. Some implementations include an authorization listing of a party having a particular access privilege or authorization to make modifications to various restricted portions including an authentication region and a protected region. One possible aspect includes performing a verification analysis of data indicia in a restricted portion of the e-paper media. Additional possible system and process components may determine an authenticity status of the data indicia, and provide an output result.

2. A system comprising:
-
circuitry configured for storing information in at least one protected region of at least some e-paper media; circuitry configured for preventing non-authorized access to the at least one protected region of the at least some e-paper media in accordance with one or more security methodologies; and circuitry configured for enabling inclusion of one or more verification markings in at least one access-restricted authentication region of the at least some e-paper media, such that at least one portion of the one or more verification markings is rendered void in an event that non-authorized access is detected with respect to at least one portion of the at least one access-restricted authentication region of the at least some e-paper media or at least one portion of the at least one protected region of the at least some e-paper media. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A system comprising:
-
circuitry configured for receiving data included on at least one restricted portion of at least some e-paper media, which at least one restricted portion at least includes at least one protection region and at least one access-restricted authentication region including one or more verification markings that are rendered void in an event that non-authorized access is detected with respect to the at least one access-restricted authentication region of the at least some e-paper media or the at least one protection region of the at least some e-paper media; circuitry configured for facilitating at least one verification analysis with respect to at least one portion of the data; and circuitry configured for providing at least one status output.
