Recently Inventive Designers announced IntelliStamp, a solution that allows to protect the authenticity of digital and paper documents using 'Hybrid Signatures'. We've been working on this technology for quite a while and it's great to be able to talk about it for a greater audience. The IntelliStamp website doesn't offer too much details yet, but we'll be gradually adding more detailed content.

Let me know if you're interested and I can show you all the details.

With IntelliStamp in mind, I'm very happy to see that the next generation iPhone 3GS will have a macro-lens to take close-up pictures. Finally I will be able to properly photograph parts of a document, including the IntelliStamp, using 2D Barcode technology (mostly QR barcodes). This is important as a verification interface for IntelliStamp, as you'll then should be able to properly use an iPhone to verify the authenticity of a document. So for me, right now, that is the main drive to get a iPhone 3GS as soon as possible. In the US it should be available starting June 19th, but I'm not sure about Belgium... Update: The Apple WWDC Keynote mentions it should be available in Belgium on June 26th.
