Abstract

Payment indicia (14) generating schemes are described that enable users to customize the appearance of the payment indicium (14) and to accommodate a wide variety of validation processing environments, while providing a substantial defense against fraudulent photocopy attack. In some embodiments,a corroborative digital token is generated from payment information (12), and a base image (22) is modulated with a graphical encoding of the corroborative digital token to produce a payment indicium (14). In some embodiments, a payment indicium (14) containing embedded payment information (12) is rendered on a printing surface with a printing characteristic that degrades with photographic reproductions such that the embedded payment information (12) is extractable from an original rendering of the payment indicium (14) but is un-extractable from a photographic reproduction of an original rendering of the payment indicium (14). In some embodiments, payment information (12) is encoded into a corroborative digital token based at least in part upon one or more variable encoding parameters, and a payment indicium (14) containing the encoded payment information (12) is rendered.
