Counterparty Enrollment
STAGE 01
Each enrollment generates a 256-bit secret as an HSM stand-in.
Document Issuance
STAGE 02
Substrate fingerprint upgrade
When ON, paper-fibre microstructure is folded into the KDF — closes the perfect-photocopy attack.
~64 key-derived gaps per counterparty + ~120 decoy defects, camouflaged as printer artefacts.
Reader-side Verification
STAGE 04
Recomputes expected gap positions from secret + doc hash (+ fibre print if enabled) and tests pixel-level presence at each.
Photocopy = JPEG smear. Pristine = perfect xerographic copy (passes without fibre upgrade — known limitation). Forger = random gaps.
