Apparatus and method for verifying a document content of an analog

There is provided a device (10) for verifying contents (24) of an analogue document (20). The device (10) comprises a scanning unit (11) which is designed to generate sensing information by sampling the analog document (20) and for storing the scan information in a memory element (21) which is provided on the analog document (22), and a verification unit (12) for verifying the content (24) of the analog document (20) is designed using the stored sensing information, on. A corresponding method for verifying a content of an analog document is provided. Using the provided apparatus for verifying the contents of a document analog can be ensured that the content of the analog document has not been altered by an attacker. If the content is changed, the verification will fail.
