Abstract

L'invention décrit procédé destiné à prévenir la contrefaçon ou l'altération d'une surface imprimée ou gravée, caractérisé par l'incorporation d'une signature sous la forme d'un filigrane numérique dans une partie ou dans l'ensemble du document, et en particulier une technique de filigrane numérique permettant de cacher des informations invisibles par surimpression en utilisant une technique dite de modulation d'amplitude asymétrique. Cette technique peut être appliquée à tout type de matériau imprimé comme du papier, des emballages ou toute autre surface. Des informations visibles peuvent également être imprimées par-dessus le filigrane. Par exemple, un document papier comportant ce filigrane permet de garantir son authenticité car une copie supprime la signature.
