IntelliStamp
IntelliStamp is a technology that allows organizations and governments to protect electronic documents by adding a digital or hybrid stamp. An IntelliStamp looks like a barcode that is placed on an electronic document.
The barcode contains (a part of) the contents of the document and other data to be able to guarantee the authenticity. If the document is printed, the IntelliStamp shall also appear on the paper. This allows verification of both the digital document as the paper printout. Citizens can choose whether they want to work electronically or that they would rather print it out and work with the paper version.

As a result, documents no longer need to be printed, signed (wet signature) and stamped by the sender, but it is the choice of the receiver to print the document while the authentication is guaranteed. And for governments and companies, this means a great reduction in time and costs.
The authentication allows to verify the following information:
- The protected data on the document
- Who created and signed the document
- The exact time when the document was signed
- The authority that guarantees the identity of the signer
In addition, IntelliStamp can also help to show the visual differences between the original document and the scanned paper document.
