Abstract:
A device for producing a document carrying the identification of a person/animal. A first detector to determine the printing conditions of the document. A sensor to obtain the biometric data of the person/animal. A first encoder encodes the biometric data to form a digital identification image including redundancies. A second detector to determine physical characteristics of cells of at least one shape, such that the proportion of cells printed with a print error results from unanticipated unknowns in printing. A second encoder to form, within the shape, an authentication image for authenticating the document and includes elementary cells representing the encoded authentication image. A printer to print the authentication and identification images on the document, and to generate random errors in the printed elementary cells of the authentication image to detect modification to the appearance of the elementary cells.

Abstract:
The device (100) for protecting a document (125) comprises: —a means (120) for inputting a digital file representing an image of at least a part of the document, —a means (135) of extracting characteristic elements of the image and of positions of said characteristic elements on the document, —a means (140) of encoding characteristic elements of the image and data representative of position of said characteristic elements on the document, and to a matrix code and—a means (155) of printing the matrix code on or in said document. In embodiments, the device comprises: —a means (165) of determining a location of the document not bearing any information, and/or—a means (165) of determining the shape of the matrix code corresponding to the location of the document not bearing information, the printing means printing the matrix code at the determined location and according to the determined shape.
