【 摘 要 】

One of the serious problems is how to authenticate the passport document for its holder.The major factor of this authenticity is the corresponding of the Passport's photo with its holder. Mostof the Passport document contains a holder's signature in addition, of course, to the full name. Wepropose a firm authentication method by extracting some features for the original name of the holderwith the passport number and digest them in a form, by applying some techniques, that can be hiddenin the passport's photo. The modern method of issuing a passport now is by using a computer in fixingthe passport's photo (imaging). In using this method we could hide the invisible watermark whichcontains the digest name and passport number inside the passport's photo. During the hidden processthere are many techniques could be applied to disguise any color difference appears during the hiddenprocess. After using this technique, it is very simple to use the computer in scanning and verifying,at check point, that the passport's photo has been not replaced and that by comparing the invisiblewatermark with the digest name of the holder and passport number.
