Design and Implementation of Digital Information Security for Physical Documents

Pengcheng Wang-2021-04-21-Scholarworks (University of Massachusetts Amherst)

TL;DRAbstract

The objective of this thesis is to improve the security for physical paper documents. Providing information security has been difficult in environments that rely on physical paper documents to implement business processes. Our work presents the design of a digital information security system for paper documents, called "CryptoPaper", that uses 2-dimensional codes to represent data and its security properties on paper. A special scanner system is designed for "CryptoPaper" which uses image recognition techniques and cloud-based access control to display plaintext of encrypted and encoded data to authorized users.
