                         documents. It inserts tiny dots, hardly noticeable at normal 
                         reading distance, to embed the message. For message extraction, we 
                         employ auto-correlation and tiny registration dots to rectify 
                         geometric distortions. This technique is robust to distortions 
                         resulting from print-scan operations, good quality photocopies, 
                         affine transformations and scribblings/stains on the paper. The 
                         technique can be applied to documents with large white (or black) 
                         areas and they may present characters, drawings, schematics, 
                         diagrams, cartoons, but not halftones. The technique is intended 
                         to be neither a robust watermark (because any filtering can remove 
                         the dots) nor a covert communication (because the dots are 
                         perceptible at short distance). Nevertheless, when combined with a 
                         perceptual hashing and a cryptography protocol, it can be applied 
                         as semi-fragile authentication watermarking for hardcopy two-tone 
                         documents. In some situations, the utilization of the proposed 
                         system can substitute the use of notarial authenticated 
                         photocopies.",
