In contrast to the security and integrity of electronic files, printed documents are vulnerable to damage and
forgery due to their physical nature. Researchers at Palo Alto Research Center utilize DataGlyph technology
to render digital characteristics to printed documents, which provides them with the facility of tamper-proof
authentication and damage resistance. This DataGlyph document is known as GlyphSeal. Limited DataGlyph
carrying capacity per printed page restricted the application of this technology to a domain of graphically simple
and small-sized single-paged documents. In this paper the authors design a protocol motivated by techniques
from the networking domain and back-up strategies, which extends the GlyphSeal technology to larger-sized,
graphically complex, multi-page documents. This protocol provides fragmentation, sequencing and data loss
recovery. The Collocated DataGlyph Protocol renders large glyph messages onto multiple printed pages and
recovers the glyph data from rescanned versions of the multi-page documents, even when pages are missing,
reordered or damaged. The novelty of this protocol is the application of ideas from RAID to the domain of
DataGlyphs. The current revision of this protocol is capable of generating at most 255 pages, if page recovery
is desired and does not provide enough data density to store highly detailed images in a reasonable amount of
page space.
