Cryptography plays vital role in many electronic applications. Information confidentiality, authentication and integrity are desirable features for electronic transactions and these features are achieved by using a proper combination of symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic techniques. In order to ensure information authenticity, digital signatures are the equivalent part for normal signatures. It is well known that with the help of digital signature, forgery of digital information can be identified and it is widely used in e-commerce and banking applications. As Elliptic curve based digital signatures are stronger and require less size, in this paper a method is presented to detect fake paper based documents with ECC based digital signatures, which in turn control fraudulent practices related to paper based certificates.
