Abstract

A system and a method for verifying authenticity of a physical copy and a digital copy of a document are disclosed. The method comprises registering a document in a repository by storing details related to the document in a location of the repository. A symbology for the document is generated. The symbology is an identifier of the location of the repository comprising the document. The symbology is associated with either a physical or a digital copy of the document. The digital copy of the document is printed to generate a printed copy. The printed copy or the physical copy of the document is scanned to generate a scanned image. The document and the details related to the document present at the location of the repository are accessed. The scanned image is compared with the document stored in the repository to determine the authenticity of either the physical copy or the digital copy of the document.
