Abstract
Method for converting an original paper document into an original information object, and for subsequent electronic transmission, storage, and retrieval of verifiable copies of the stored original information object without the Trusted Repository relinquishing control of the original information object. The user first converts the blue-ink-signed paper document into an electronic information object. On deposit of this information object into the Trusted Repository, the user is required to destroy or permanently designate the blue-ink-signed paper document and locally-retained files as copies. The Trusted Repository then requires the user to establish the authenticity of the electronic information object by verifying that it is now the only authoritative and original copy. The Trusted Repository then creates the original authenticated information object by appending a date-time stamp and its digital signature and certificate (signature block). This Trusted Repository action demonstrates the Trusted Repository's assumption of control of the original authenticated information object.
